Who among us has not dreamed of becoming an artist at least once? Especially in childhood, many of us wanted to learn how to draw beautifully, and maybe even paint real pictures. But, as often happens, dreams were shattered due to a banal lack of skills. Either due to a change of interests, or because of ordinary laziness, many lacked the desire and patience to continue developing in this direction.
So how can beginners learn to draw with a pencil?
Like any creative activity, the art of drawing contains many subtleties and helps its owner reveal not only creative potential, but also to realize your worldview in a beautiful form. These subtleties will be discussed further.
Stages and principles of training
Often, in order to fully learn how to draw, they resort to step-by-step learning and drawing practice. various compositions of different plans. There is quite a big difference if, for example, you are trying to draw a person, or if you are trying to realize some kind of landscape on paper. That is why in this case it is very important to master the skills of drawing a wide variety of objects.
Another basic principle in learning to draw is regularity. Practice is the decisive factor in developing drawing skills. It wouldn't be bad to make up your own specific schedule for a week, according to which you could devote at least 20 minutes a day to this activity. It follows from this that you also need to show some patience in such training.
What do you need to get started?
So, first of all, find yourself notebook with quite large sheets. There should be at least 50 sheets. The second point in your preparation should be the choice pencil taste. There are a great variety of pencils, so in your case best choice will be the one you are used to using. For example, it could be a pencil with a soft lead. Naturally, a little later you will one way or another have to purchase the necessary pencils in order to improve the quality of your work.
Get yourself a calendar too. Where you will celebrate not only your class schedule, but also your successes. At first, you will have to force yourself to strictly follow the schedule, but over time it will become part of your lifestyle and will bring great pleasure.
Try to draw something on the first page. Do not worry about high quality drawing. After a certain time, you will open the notebook to the first page and be surprised at the difference between how it was and what changes have occurred.
Basics
Many people think that drawing is a skill that depends only on natural talent, so they easily find excuses in the format of “not given” or “doesn’t work out.” But it’s not just about talent, but also about acquired skills. A person who can draw well without knowledge basic principles- a rare exception. Any business needs to be learned. Therefore, next we will look at the basic laws and techniques of drawing.
There are 9 basic laws of drawing, after learning which you will learn to draw quite high level. Let's discuss them.
- Law of perspective. Objects that the author wants to visually bring closer are distorted in such a way that one part of it appears closer than another part of it.
- Arrangement of objects. Objects that are at the bottom of the sheet appear much closer than others.
- Law of size. The object in the picture, which, according to the author’s plan, should be located closer, should, accordingly, look larger than those located further away.
- Law of overlap. An object that is in front of another becomes visually closer to us.
- Law of penumbra. The conventionally unlit part of the object, which is located on the opposite side of the light source, should be darker.
- Law of the shadow. To make the drawn object seem three-dimensional, you need to add a cast shadow to it, also strictly on the opposite side of the light source.
- Law of contours. It is necessary to accentuate the contours of round objects to give them depth.
- Law of the horizon. This is the case when the horizon is drawn so that the depicted objects appear to be at different distances from the observer.
- Density law. To make it seem that objects are at different distances, it is also necessary to draw near objects in more detail and distant objects in less detail.
Using these 9 basic laws in practice, it will not be difficult for you to switch to new level in drawing.
Also, in order to avoid simple mistakes, a beginner needs to follow a few important stages when creating a sketch of a drawing. Here they are:
We draw from simple to complex
More or less known fact, that the drawing is different from the drawing. What we mean first of all is that drawing a person is far from the same as drawing, say, a tree. Different things require different approaches to be executed perfectly. That is why further we will consider in detail the technique of drawing various compositions.
You should not immediately take on complex compositions. Because in the science of drawing, the mindset with which you start working is very important. If you immediately took up complex drawing, and nothing worked out for you, then you are guaranteed a bad mood. You may even lose the desire to pick up a pencil altogether. Therefore, in our training we will go from simple to complex, gradually learning new drawing techniques. Let's start with something simple.
Drawing geometric shapes
Because looking for suitable layouts geometric shapes will be quite long in time, we will be based on our imagination. For convenience, you can even download ready-made pictures of various geometric shapes from the Internet.
Cube
Let's draw a cube. Take this picture as a basis:
Repeat all the edges and sides of the geometric figure. Don't forget that the back wall of the cube is proportionally smaller than the front. Now let's pay attention to the shadow.
Imagine the light source is in front. Thus, the front side of the cube will be lighter, and sides darker. Shade the sides. Use a pencil to highlight the lines of the front corner and leave the rest thin. He will attract all the attention of the observer.
To give your figure a unique look, you can slightly distort the proportions. So we might end up with something similar.
Cylinder
Draw the plane on which your figure will be located. It should not be in the air, because the shadow must fall on something. Find on this plane the ideal place to locate the central axis of your cylinder. Draw a vertical line straight up from this point. Draw ellipses around both ends of this line. Connect the lower and upper ellipses with the same vertical lines. The sketch is almost ready. For convenience, you can add a couple of auxiliary lines. For example, in front, such a line can mark the border of the shadow. Draw the outline of the shadow on the horizontal plane on which your figure is located. The result should be something like this:
Now that we're done with the frame, it's time shade the main parts of our figure. Again, taking into account that the light should be strictly in the opposite direction from the shadow, we mark by eye where the highlight will be. It is also worth considering that the glare on the cylinder will not form a spot, but a vertical stripe. Shade the area from the shadow line to the rear border of the cylinder with a darker shade. Lubricate the border of the hatching to make the transition smooth. Shade the shadow of the figure itself. Upper part leave the cylinder light.
Drawing a sphere
Let's try to depict one of the basic geometric shapes, on the basis of which more complex objects will be drawn in the future. This figure is a sphere. She is even easier to draw than the others. You need to draw a circle. Next, from the edges of this circle, you need to draw several more concentric circles inside this figure. These circles may not be perfectly regular; moreover, they may take the shape of an ellipse.
They will serve us in order to do the shading correctly. Refer to the picture below.
Shade the circles according to the diagram shown. Draw another ellipse on the main plane. Shade this ellipse too to create a shadow. The sphere is ready.
Exercise
Try using the sphere drawing skill to draw more complex compositions, such as a plum. Notice what changes have occurred to the shadow? What happened in the end?
Answer
Shadow and light switched places. As a result, the berry acquired the illusion of transparency.
So, we found out that drawing geometric shapes is not such a difficult task.
Based on a basic knowledge of geometry and the skill of drawing such figures, you will be able to create more complex compositions with their help.
Drawing dishes
The next most difficult stage in pencil drawing is drawing dishes. In this case, the main difficulty lies more in the correct placement of shadows, both on the subject and around it.
Let's draw a simple vase. It will be great if you find a suitable example that you can study in advance.
At the very beginning, we need to indicate the parameters of the object using straight lines. Draw a small horizontal line at the bottom of the sheet. This line will be the bottom of our vase. From the center of the horizontal line, perpendicular to it, draw a vertical line. This line will indicate the height of the object. Draw another horizontal line at the top of the vertical one. If anything is not clear to you, refer to the figure below:
As we can see, we will need another horizontal line marking the narrow neck of the vase. Draw it. Next, you need to draw ellipses with centers coinciding with the intersection points of the vertical and horizontal lines. They are needed to add volume to the vase.
The next step will be drawing the outline of the object. For example, it could be like this:
The final stage will be drawing light and shadows. This is done in the same way as with geometric shapes. Simply, you first need to decide what underlies each part of the object, a sphere, cylinder, cone or cube.
Try to ensure that the outline of your vase is symmetrical on both sides.
Drawing a cup
First, using the proven method, we need to draw the vertical and horizontal lines. This time, the base of the cup will be much smaller than its neck, and not the same. Draw ellipses for the top and bottom.
Plants
Unlike geometric shapes and dishes, drawing various plants is a more difficult task than it might seem at first. For example, in contrast to relatively simple objects, in the case of flowers, bushes, trees and many others, it is better to always have a living example before your eyes. It is very difficult to reliably imagine such a number of different details and correctly display them on paper. Or it could be a finished image of the original. With the level of detail of the drawing, it is important to decide the issue at the very beginning. After all, it can be as simple as possible, or, on the contrary, contain a large number of details.
Drawings by degree of detail:
Let's start drawing.
Make a preliminary sketch of your composition. If it is not one flower but several, draw them so that the stems are slightly curved and the buds look in different directions. You don't have to make all the lines perfectly correct.
One of the most interesting things is that the initial sketch can consist of geometric shapes, albeit a little distorted. Take a closer look.
What do you see? The picture contains at least a circle, ovals, a cylinder, a distorted rhombus and cones. This tells us that sometimes, even complex images on initial stage, can be drawn using simple shapes.
Start drawing out the details. Draw the petals and add some irregularities to the petals. Add leaves to the composition. Focus on the original.
A tulip flower usually has about 6-7 petals that partially overlap each other.
If you pay attention, you will note that the thickness of the stems is the same along the entire length. The leaves are long, with a sharp end, curved. Leaves envelop the stem. Also pay attention to attaching the stem to the bud. This is noticeable on the flower turning back.
The final stage will be adding light and shadow. Using light strokes, make the areas inside the flower more shaded, as well as on inside leaves. The places where the petals intersect can also be slightly shaded. This will give the petals a transparent effect. Draw the stamens. They can be emphasized with a darker color.
As can be seen from last lesson, creating a simple composition is not a problem if you know the basic fundamentals of drawing, from simple to complex.
Drawing an oak tree
Trees are very often an integral part of various complex paintings. For example, these could be landscapes where numerous trees echo images of animals, which will be discussed later.
Take a hard pencil. It will be needed to draw very weakly general sketch tree. As always, we will go from the general to the details.
Draw a tree trunk. Since we are drawing an oak tree, it should be thick. Draw branches from the tree trunk.
Add a few clouds of leaves inside the crown. You need to deliberately leave empty areas so that some branches are visible.
Thicken the branches where they are not covered by leaves.
Start applying the main shadows. Before doing this, think about which side the light will fall from and how parts can be further shaded.
Draw the leaves. Add detail to them and distribute the shadows correctly. Select several leaves throughout the crown. This adds volume to the picture. The oak is ready!
It is not necessary to draw every leaf in the final image. You can simply thicken the contours of the leaves.

Previously, on our website, we have already published images of some masters. Here is a list of articles where you can see equally attractive pencil drawings.
- An album of incredible illustrations from Mattias Adolfsson;
JD Hillberry
Natural abilities and desire JD Hillberry began to draw attention to his creativity as a child. Desire and talent made the master one of best artists pencil drawing in the world. While still studying in Wyoming, he began to develop his own technique, mixing coal and graphite to achieve photo realistic effect in your drawings. JD uses monochromatic light to draw the viewer's attention through the play of light and shade and texture. Throughout his career, he tried to go beyond realism and expression. After moving to Colorado in 1989, Hillberry began experimenting with trompe l'oeil drawings. Traditionally, this type of work is done in oil, but he successfully conveyed the realism of the plot using pencil. The viewer, looking at such images, is deceived into thinking that the object is in a frame, or in a window, although in fact all these elements are drawn. Working from his studio in Westminster, Colorado, JD Hillberry continues to expand public perception with his drawings.
Brian Duey
Brian is one of the most amazing artists pencil drawing that works beautifully with pencil to create inspiring works of art. Here's what he says about his work and himself:
"My name is Brian Duey. I was born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I attended public school in a small village called Granville, where he first became acquainted with art. I never thought about the seriousness of my hobby, but I discovered a strong craving for pencil drawing at the age of 20. I was sitting alone in my house, and out of boredom I decided to pick up a pencil and start drawing. I immediately fell in love with drawing and wanted to do it full time. With each drawing I got better and better. I developed my own techniques and original tricks while working. I strive to create realistic drawings and add my own conceptual ideas. I am often asked what inspires me and where I learned to draw. I can openly say that I am self-taught.
My illustrations have been published in books and on greeting cards, on CD covers and in various magazines. I have been doing commercial work since 2005, and during this time I have acquired clients all over the world. Most of my orders come from the United States, Great Britain and Canada, but I also work with customers from Ireland. My paintings have been shown in galleries throughout the United States. In 2007, I was asked to paint a portrait of Britney Spears, which was included in art gallery in Hollywood, California. The event was covered on MTV and I gained worldwide fame. I am not going to stop there and continue to work. I have new ideas and plans. One of my goals for the future is to publish a drawing tutorial.
T. S. Abe
Although we didn't find many of Abe's works, her illustrations show that she is a master high class. The artist has excellent use of a pencil and skillfully depicts complex ideas using her own methods. Abe's paintings are harmonious and balanced, complex and at the same time simple to perceive. She is one of the most talented pencil drawing artists of our time.
Cesar Del Valle
The artist uses a special unique pencil drawing technique in his works. Caesar's illustrations not only show his talent, but also reflect the author's subtle perception of the environment.
Henrik
Henrik's work is presented in Art gallery Deviant arts. His drawings are interesting example pencil art. The master miraculously uses black and white tones to convey original images and unusual ideas.
In childhood, a child does not think about why and what to draw. While drawing, he reworks his life experience, transferring it to paper, and thereby comprehends it and develops.
As you get older, it becomes more and more difficult to find ideas... We get distracted by everyday affairs, we stop hearing ourselves, our inner world. It is especially difficult at the beginning, when you are just embarking on the path of discovering yourself as an artist.
To draw well, you need to draw every day. But where do you get the inspiration for this?
Here are some ideas for you: how and what to draw every day.
What to draw? 11 ideas for daily drawing.
1. Go through the archives of your drawings and sketches.
The simplest thing is to open a folder with your old drawings and look at them.
What is unfinished about them? Where did the hitch occur? 
Look at the drawing with fresh eyes. Think how to modify or rewrite it.
In addition, immersing yourself in past drawings will immerse you in the emotions that you previously experienced. This may reinvigorate your creative muse. Maybe based on an old idea a new one will arise... And then another picture will be born.
2. Draw something from life.
Take a look around the house: walls, furniture, interior items, potted plants, souvenirs brought from trips that keep your memories. What caught your eye? 
Draw one object. You can add other objects to it and draw the background.
As a result, your drawing can turn out to be very atmospheric, keeping the warmth of the house, your thoughts and memories
I suggest watching a recording of my speech on Periscope on the topic of quick sketches from nature. I hope you find this video helpful.

Learn to create monotypes. This will allow you to create without initially thinking about the plot. Monotype will do this for you.
Use your imagination! Experiment! A monotype print will give you many opportunities for spontaneous solutions. Examine the image in the spots and streaks that have appeared. And draw in the spots a little to help the viewer see this image.

8. Draw a graphic design.
Do you like to draw with a simple pencil or in black and white?
Then try your hand at graphics! This can be drawing a spot with further drawing of details with a pencil, gel pen, ink or marker.
Or maybe you will first make some kind of graphic graphic, and then complement it with a background, add volume to the details, make a fill, fill it with fancy patterns, lines and scatter splash spots.
Practice making doodles!
9. Draw in a travel sketchbook.
Going on a trip? Bring a small sketchbook with you! 
A notebook filled with impressions and drawings (as well as booklets, tickets, receipts, napkins... and other “tourist trash”) will become no less valuable a memory than an album with photographs.
IF YOU WANT TO:
- learn to quickly record your thoughts and impressions
- remove the fear of drawing in public
- bring beautiful travel books back from travels
then my sketchbooking workshop
will become an invaluable assistant for you in this!
10. Browse the websites of your favorite artists.
Look at their paintings, find something that catches you and touches your soul. Compare different techniques, try to imagine how this or that picture was painted, what the artist felt, what he wanted to say, how he saw the world while working. 
Look at your favorite painting by your favorite artist and try something like this. Or just copy a piece of the painting to study the technique, repeat it as you understand.
