The order in which children learn to draw is basic skills, sketching, and sketching.

1. Basic skills

When children learn to draw, they must first practice basic skills. The most important thing at the beginning is to practice lines. You can start with graffiti or sketching to practice line modeling. After you get better at line and plane modeling, you can start learning sketching, master the key points of three-dimensional painting, and practice more, with life drawing exercises or sketching exercises in between. When your skills are mature, you can then practice gouache, oil painting, or traditional Chinese painting.

2. Sketching

Sketching is the first step in art creation after practicing graffiti. You must first learn to be familiar with using a pen before you can express what you see and think into reality. Sketch is a form of artistic expression that expresses objects and scenes through simple lines, surfaces, and blocks. It can train and observe the ability to express the shape, light and shade, structure, texture, volume, and space of objective objects.

3. Sketch

Sketch is to quickly use simple and powerful lines to succinctly express the main features such as the expression and shape of the object. The general outline is properly outlined, thick in the middle and thin in the middle. It seems simple, but in fact it requires the author's basic skills of observation and technique to be very high.

Benefits of children learning to draw:

1. Drawing can exercise the brain’s spatial abstract thinking. Because the layout of the picture needs to be considered. For example, the main subject is usually drawn in the middle. Children need to use their brains to consider where to draw the sun, where to draw clouds, where to draw flowers on the grass, and where to draw big trees in the upper space.

2. Drawing can exercise the coordination ability of hands, eyes and brain. To draw what you see, you must first observe, then think through your brain, and finally express it through the brush in your hand. These seemingly simple steps are actually very effective for children. Careful parents can observe their children's progress within a few days.

3. Drawing can stimulate and promote children's understanding and use of colors. After a period of study, children can express their emotions through drawings. This is not a "barometer" of the child's mood.
