Eight secrets in drawing

Eight secrets that will allow you
learn to draw masterfully

1. Correct construction of objects in space

This skill is the basis for anyone professional artist. It will create a sense of volumetric space in your painting, which is very important. This alone will greatly improve your paintings.

2. Proper application of strokes

With the help of strokes, a background is created for the future volume of forms and objects - this is the main basis. When you learn how to apply them correctly, everything you draw will become more saturated and clear.

3. Tone stretching with a pencil

Another secret of the masters. When you learn how to do tonal stretching with a pencil from simple to complex, and dial in tone with pencils of varying softness, you will be surprised at how much more realistic your drawings will become.

4. The art of drawing three-dimensional figures

Another skill that separates people who are great at drawing from those who are new to drawing. This is the ability to give volume to objects that differ in shape, working with light and reflex, one’s own shadow and penumbra. These skills will make your work much better.

5. The ability to work with your own shadow on figures to add volume

This is also important to be able to do if you want to masterfully depict three-dimensional objects and create realistic paintings.

6. Effective construction of falling shadows

The type and shape of falling shadows depends not only on the figure cast by it, but also on the location of the light source. Having mastered this skill, you will be able to draw falling shadows of various geometric shapes, but also apply this knowledge to objects of various forms.

7. The ability to distinguish objects by tone

Thanks to this, you will not only be able to show the difference between objects and forms, but also indicate the compositional center, which is very important for constructing a composition.

8. Composition skill

But this is the most important knowledge that will “revive” your painting and fill it with meaning, will make the viewer think about what mood you were in at the time of creating the painting, what exactly you wanted to tell the viewer. Knowing composition will allow you to “say” with your painting what you cannot say in words...

... and many other skills and secrets that the world's best artists possess.

How to quickly master the main skills of professional artists?

Of course you can sign up for art school. However, this is possible if you have a lot of free time. Unfortunately, not everyone can spend several hours a day getting to and from school.

In addition, you can start learning on your own - from books. But this is a very slow and difficult path, and without a professional mentor you will study for a very long time, making many mistakes.

The easiest way is to study using a video course at home. In just 46 days, you can learn to draw great drawings right at home!
