The first stage: practice structure sketch first (buy a picture book to practice)
It takes about 2 months (you are an office worker and practice on Saturday and Sunday)
Tip: hold the pencil sideways, draw lines with strokes, and apply force on your wrist, not your arm.
The second stage: light and shade exercises (also copying albums)
It will take about two months (same as above).
Tip: You can apply it by hand and put a plastic on a small place.
The third stage: overall practice (copying difficult works)
It takes about 1 month.
Tip: this exercise should increase the exercise time and slowly observe the small part!
The fourth stage: sketch practice (bottles and cans in the painter, etc. )
It takes about 1 month.
Tip: Read more picture books and learn more skills.
After six months, the sketching ability should be slightly improved.
Then the color.
Gouache is a common color course in most art colleges.
Gouache: the characteristic color can be covered and easy to modify.
Watercolor: the characteristic color has good printing and dyeing effect and good transparency.
Each has its own characteristics, but gouache is easy to learn.
