This article is the first of a series of articles that's going to introduce you to some of the basics of creating professional looking sketches. These techniques can be used alone, or implemented in various combinations to create the effect that you want.
"Why is it so important for an artist to learn sketching?"
Drawing in monochrome lays the foundation for greater things to come. You can move on to color pens, oil pastels, watercolor painting, acrylic painting and oil painting later on but without the skills to create the visual effects that you want, your progress will be limited.
This e-book is about building a strong drawing foundation. Without a strong foundation, the artist has no expressive freedom. Without control and mastery of drawing techniques and tools, they cannot express their ideas and vision in a satisfactory manner.
And that's the goal that every artist should keep in mind when creating a work of art.
It could be a few broad strokes, or it could be many fine lines. It could be patches of shades, or it could be patches of void spaces. It doesn't matter.
The important thing is to remember that a drawing or a painting is complete when the ideas are expressed to the artist's satisfaction.
You'll see these techniques re-surface when we move on to discuss more advanced drawing techniques. Meanwhile, do familiarize yourself with the techniques discussed in this e-book.
Ultimately, the goal we want to achieve here is to prove that anyone with a burning desire and a strong interest for art can learn to draw in no time.
Have fun!
