How I Optimize my Sketching skill

How I Optimize my Sketching skill

In starting phase of my learning i used to draw an object with  full

concentration and lots of interest , but it doesn't looks similar to the

original one.

Actually i’m fond of sketching and to get some Art and Craft Ideas,

this is my best hobby i always wanted that whatever I sketch it should

looks like realistic not just a piece of drawing. So I started thinking

about collect some ideas, how can I optimize my sketches?

After lots of thinking and surfing to the web, I realize that, to enhance

my sketching skill I need to go through the step by step method, and I

have to focus on every small part of the sketching object. Then i started

working on that…..

Techniques i have used to enhance my sketching skills:

Before you’ve actually started to recreate a sketch as they really are, you

have to learn how to do realistic faces, but there is no need to worry-

Soon, you will be able to easily sketch the wanted images.  For example

suppose i’m going to draw a portrait then i should have a good catch of

each individual part of a face i.e. eye, nose, lip, ear, face structure, hair etc.

                  

I had draw some varieties of eye to get a good command on this.  Then

i moved to the second step for practicing of the lip…

               

Now i stepped forward for the  nose and eye…If you've spent a long time

looking at a drawing, it can be difficult to see where the errors are, so look

overall and try to correct the errors.

                        

Some part of sketching needs to shade properly to make it look realistic.

You might use blending stick for smooth shading or piece of tissue paper

if blending stick are not available.

                                              

When i was practicing for hair sketching, i realize that it’s really important

to draw a single-2 strokes very carefully and clearly, it might takes some

more time but at the end it looks fabulous. If you want to draw curly hair,

draw two straight vertical lines these will be your guidelines for the width

and length of the curl. Now roughly draw a wavy line down between the

two lines ."Double this wavy line a little below the first.  and then fill the

details in between and then remove the guideline.

This is my final sketching of a face which looks approximately similar to

the original one. So finally i got some good catch on sketching, now i have

a strong confidence that i can draw a portrait of a real face. Its true that still

i take lots of time to draw a realistic image hope it get faster, but i’m satisfied

that i got that that ability to make it looks realistic.
