’Drawing’ opens you up to all kinds of possibilities. After accomplishing pencil drawing, you may want to experiment with pastels. These add color to your drawings. You may also wish to experiment with charcoal and chalk as this is a good medium for drawing. There are also different styles that you can try. Anime is a very popular style for young people while cartooning may be an option that you want to consider. To do these well, you will need to learn all about action and that’s the missing element in still life images. Action is depicted by use of lines in the under-drawing stages to define the movement of the body or an animal and that really brings your drawing to life, giving it realistic movement. Whatever you do, you must practice until your skills allow you to move into further challenges.
For the time being, practice your still life drawing, because all of the time that you are doing this, you are also learning to perfect and hone your skills at shading and this will help you in your future endeavors. There is a whole world waiting out there for you to start drawing and if you find that you enjoy it, why not join in with communities online and share your images. You may find like-minded people who can give you advice and encouragement and help you with the development of your artwork. Drawing is a very satisfying pastime and if you practice all the techniques shown in this book, you will set yourself up for being able to tackle different types of drawing.
Remember to keep records of the different shading techniques and the depth of tone that each pencil creates. A good place for this is in the front of your drawing pad. Try different types of rubbing to give different finishes and you can even experiment with shading using a series of dots. Some people find this extremely effective. It is hoped that you have learned from the book and that you will enjoy your artistic experience.
