Those who want to learn how to draw need to start with the simplest lessons. For example, how to draw potatoes. The article will help to cope with this task.
Where to begin
To understand how to draw a potato, you need to remember how it looks, which has a shape and color, texture. The easiest way is to put the tuber in front of you and look at it during operation to display it as accurately as possible on paper.
In general, this task is one of the easiest, because drawing potatoes is very simple. Even a novice artist with no experience can easily cope with it in just four steps.
To enjoy the work, you need to stock up with a minimal set for drawing with a pencil:
- a sheet of white paper, better grained rather than smooth;
- several simple pencils of different softness (M, TM, TM-2, etc.);
- soft eraser.
Step one
If you want to learn how to draw potatoes, then this workshop is for you. First you need to draw a regular circle on paper. You can do this by hand or use a template, for example, trace the bottom of the cup with a pencil on paper.
Second step
Now you need to transform the circle into an irregular oval, as shown in the figure above. To do this, the circle must be lengthened above and below, and the lines should be uneven to reflect the actual shape of the tuber.
Step three
The next step is to refine the surface texture. It sounds complicated, but it is very simple: draw with a pencil inside the oval - the future tuber - a few short strokes, spots, arcs of different lengths and points.
Step Four, Final
Let's proceed to the final step of our workshop "How to draw potatoes." At this stage, with an eraser, you need to carefully remove all the auxiliary lines, draw the main lines well with a pencil, making them bright and clear. In this case, draw the contour thicker, and reflect the internal texture with a weaker pressure. If everything is done correctly, then your drawing will be similar to the example in this lesson. If desired, the picture can be painted.
Now you know how to draw potatoes with a pencil in stages.
