Most people like to spend their free time at their favorite pastime, for example, collecting, raising fish or playing any kind of sport. Everyone chooses a hobby to their liking. It is worth paying attention to such an interesting hobby as drawing. Currently, there are many ways to draw, and which one to choose depends on the desire of a novice artist. But in most cases only pencil and paper are required.
A novice artist will immediately be interested in the question of whether it is possible to learn how to draw in a short time and literally in a few months "write" pictures at the professional level. It’s worth immediately dispelling doubts that you won’t be able to create masterpieces almost instantly, especially for landscapes or scenes with lots of details and people, of course, if you don’t have a natural talent for drawing.
It’s better to start with simple objects, for example, such as drawing people separately or individual parts of a person’s body, in order to fill a hand and not have problems with it in the future. It is indisputable that for most artists it will be difficult to transfer the face of a person to canvas or paper . In order to learn how to draw people it is worth following a few simple tips. Before you depict a face and do it without any difficulties, you should draw a few auxiliary lines. The main line is the oval, which will determine the contours of the face, then you need to divide it by a longitudinal line and two horizontal ones. With the help of the latter, the artist will be able to determine the location of the eyes and nose, as well as help make them proportional.
After that, make a short horizontal line to indicate the mouth. Having applied all the auxiliary lines to the drawing, we begin to outline the contours of the mouth, eyes, and nose. Do not be upset if it does not work out the first time, while it is advisable to have an eraser with you. Having finished with the main facial features, we erase all the auxiliary lines that have already become unnecessary, draw hair and, in proportion to the nose and eyes, depict ears. Thanks to such simple operations, even a novice artist will fully understand how to draw people.
Having learned to draw a person’s face, you naturally will have the following question, how to draw a person in motion? Having studied the rules of the image of the face and parts of his body with the help of auxiliary lines, drawing a moving figure is not difficult. This method is quite simple, with the help of lines we draw a sketch, it should somehow resemble a skeleton, which needs to be given the form of movement, for example, a running person. Next, with the help of ovals, we depict the main details of the body, whether it be the palms, hands or torso. When a person, drawn with the help of auxiliary lines and figures, has got a shape, we begin to draw the main details of the body, muscles or clothes, as well as the position of the hands, head and other parts of the body, in general, we begin to give the creation the appearance of a real person. Having finished with the main details, it’s not worth going over to smaller ones, using the eraser we delete all the auxiliary lines that are no longer needed.
After the above steps, we finish the work by depicting smaller details on paper, for example, clothing items or items placed in hands. A few finishing touches and the drawing is ready, it is important not to forget about practice, as it may not work out the first time, so you should hone your skills and you can never return to the question of how to draw people. And after that, such a hobby can become not just a hobby, but a real addiction and a serious occupation. And perhaps in the future it will begin to bring you a solid income.
