Steps involved in producing an attractive sketch What is sketching? According to the Oxford dictionary, sketching is said to be a rough or unfinished drawing or painting, often made to assist in making a more finished picture. But in another interesting way, people sketch their mood, their hearts. Some people does not know how to tell what they want to say in words, so they sketch. Some people have stress, so they express the stress on sketching. Vincent Van Gogh who was a post-Impressionist painter of Dutch said that, ‘The only time I feel alive is when I'm painting.’ There is a Chinese proverb which says that, ‘One must have good tools in order to do a good job.’ So, to produce an attractive sketch, you have to prepare all the tools of sketching at first. Basically, you have to prepare a sketchbook or drawing book and tracing paper for technical drawing. You can also draw on a blank paper if you don’t have any books. A set of pencils is necessary to sketch nicely. Then, prepare an eraser in case for mistakes and blending tools like tissues, cotton buds. These are just the basic tools and materials, if you want to know more about it, please do a research before buying the materials. Please make sure that you get all the right materials before starting to sketch. After getting all the right materials, you have to choose a subject. The subject you must be interested with it and try to pick a simple subject. No matter what you choose is a model or an image or a small object, just choose a place where is plenty of light. Why? Because adding the light into your sketch will be more attractive and eye-catchy. Then, you can start to sketch and remember not to draw too heavily. Do a rough drawing first or you have to erase the mistake
hardly if you do mistake. Next, you can start to elaborate your sketch to be more attractive. Draw with shading which means the difference in the light and colour. Bring out the darker line and erase the lines that you do not need. I would like to add the shadow of the object on my drawing, you will see how real the object is after adding the shadow. For sure that you have to pay fully attention on sketching the shadow because if you want to erase the mistake, the paper will become dirty and the sketching will become ugly. So I suggest that you sketch the shadow in a very focus situation to avoid mistake. For shadow, you can use the blending tool like tissue and cotton buds to blend the shadow. You can try to do it on a paper first. The last step that you have to do on your sketching is to clean up your drawing and rub off all the unnecessary lines. Sketching can be fun if you focus in it. Many people think that they can’t draw, can’t even draw a thing. I can’t draw and I do not like drawing but I believe that if I try my best to calm down and sketch attentively, my sketching will be attracted too, not expert, not perfect, not even beautiful, but everyone can do it if you trust yourself and be serious with it. ‘Life is pretty simple: You do some stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works. If it works big, others quickly copy it. Then you do something else. The trick is the doing something else’, said Leonardo Da Vinci. Art is always a beautiful thing, do not give up if you fail, do not think you drawing is ugly. Everyone is an artist.
