HOW TO OUTLINE ON AUTODESK SKETCHBOOK WITH YOUR FINGER

ibukun781@gmail.com (Ibukunoluwa Adegoke) — Thu, 27 Aug 2020 10:23:00 +0000

Autodesk sketchbook is my favorite software for drawing, sketching and painting on Android phone before I develop passion for others like adobe illustration draw, infinite design, infinite painter, Ibis paint X, concepts sketch, pro create etc. if I should start mention those apps there will never be enough time for me to keep mentioning, because all of them win my heart, they all come with everything I need.

I am very sure by the time I finish with my talk you will also love this application and might be your favorite application too, here today I will be talking about how I outline my reference picture before I proceed to paint it, the process is very simple to follow once you read through all my post, you will also be able to create your own cartoon character of yourself or for others , now let us began.

First thing to note before you will proceed to draw any picture, firstly make sure the picture is very clean and neat, if the picture is not neat enough you may not be able to trace it very well and might not look exactly like your reference, so what can you do if your reference is not that clear or neat, you can use adobe light room application to retouch the picture, though there are some other apps too which are also good and might be better than adobe light room, but I just mention this software because I also make use of it.

So after you have retouched the picture, the next thing to do is to insert the picture into the drawing app “Autodesk sketchbook”, insert it by (clicking on the second to the first icon on the top left side of the app, check screenshot on how to import picture below) and reduce the picture opacity to your likeness, for me sometimes I reduce it to 60-80 depends on how the quality of the picture is.

After you have done that, what next is your sketchbook where the picture will be drawn on, but normally called layers, how to do that (click on the second icon, next to the last, at the top right side of the app). A screenshot would be displayed how to do it below, I hope you are getting it.

Then after that select your drawing tools in your library, for me I normally use the legacy pencil for my outlining, but there are still some that you can use too like legacy ballpoint pen or basic fountain pen, reduce pencil size to 0.1-0.6.

Now let us start outlining our reference, make sure the empty layer is selected, so that you won’t be surprised at the end of your outlining (check our video on how to outline) please don’t forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel as we come out with many tutorial video

video will be provided soon, please check back later

DRAWING ON CANVAS BEGINNER GUIDE

ibukun781@gmail.com (Ibukunoluwa Adegoke) — Wed, 19 Aug 2020 20:36:00 +0000

Today i will be talking about the fourteen expert tips to take note for painting on a canvas.

Drawing with pencil on canvas: As an artist, learning how to draw with a pencil on canvas may take some time, but it’s time well spent. Many artists make the mistake of thinking that canvas is something that should only be used for painting, but there’s no reason you can’t use it as a surface to draw on.

Always remember, the first rule you have to follow as an artist is that there are no rules. While there are some things you shouldn’t do since materials are incompatible, as long as something works and provides you with a solid piece of final art, there’s no reason you shouldn’t try it.

Why Some People Choose To Drawn On A Canvas

Chances are the first surface you learned to draw on was paper. Just about every artist starts by drawing on paper, usually at a very young age. So, it’s natural for you to be very comfortable drawing on paper. But, if you restrict yourself to only paper as a drawing surface, you are limited in what you can accomplish.

Canvas is a very different surface than paper, and when you draw on canvas you get a very different result than you would get when drawing on paper. Unprimed canvas is rough, making it an excellent surface for soft graphite or charcoal. Minimally primed canvas works well also because it has a lot of tooth. Heavily primed canvas has a smoother surface, making it ideal for detailed artwork, as well as for using ink.

Can You Sketch Onto A Canvas Panel?

Canvas panels are a great surface to work on because they are inexpensive, they provide a surface similar to stretched canvas, and they are firm and durable, letting you work with harder graphite and apply more pressure. One of the issues that you’ll have when you draw on a stretched canvas is that using even moderate amounts of pressure will cause the canvas to sink in as you draw.

This will affect your final drawing since the canvas pops back into place as soon as you remove the pressure. Many artists are also the most comfortable drawing when they can rest their hand on their drawing surface. Doing this with stretched canvas is problematic because the canvas will move, but with canvas panels, there is no such concern.

Drawing Directly Onto The Canvas With A Pencil;

One of the great things about drawing on canvas with a pencil is that there’s no particular prep work that has to be done before you get started. You just get your canvas, choose your selection of pencils, then get to work. Before getting started, you should decide what kind of drawing you are planning. Do you want a rough sketch with lots of texture? Then light priming of your canvas works best. You can even work without priming your canvas, but the color of unprimed canvas is darker, making it harder to graphite to show up. But, if you are working with charcoal, the darker pigment will show up just fine on unprimed canvas.

Can You Create Fine Details on Canvas?

You can, but you’ll need to prime your canvas with several coats of gesso first to create a smooth surface to work on. It can take some practice to get a smooth surface when priming your canvas, but it can be done. When you have a heavily primed canvas, you should have an extremely smooth surface that is ideal for detailed pencil drawing. Just remember that you should use softer graphite when working on canvas, which smears easily. This is why workable fixative is a must when you are working on a canvas with a pencil.

Things To Consider When Drawing Onto A Canvas

Canvas is a very different surface than paper, so you have to approach it differently. If you plan out a drawing you want to execute on paper, you’ll have to take a different approach with canvas. Canvas usually has a much rougher surface than paper, making it ideally suited for any drawings that have a lot of graphite or charcoal applied to your drawing surface. If you heavily prime a canvas with gesso, it will be smoother, but the plastic-like surface will feel and behave differently than paper does.

Preparing A Smooth Surface With Gesso

If you want to transform a rough canvas into a smooth drawing surface, you can do it by applying several coats of gesso. The vital thing to do when preparing a canvas to make it smooth is to apply several coats. It’s essential to wait until one coat of gesso is dry before you apply the next layer. If you don’t, then the previous coat of gesso will peel, ruining your surface. If this happens, it isn’t the end of the world. You can always and your canvas surface down, then start the process over by applying a fresh coat of gesso.

How should you prepare your canvas if you want a smooth surface? First, you’ll want to use a broad brush. Then you start by brushing gesso in one direction, being careful to not miss any spots. If you’re going to check your canvas to see if you’ve missed any spots, you can hold it at an angle under a light. Wet gesso is reflective, so if you notice any spots that aren’t reflective, then you need to apply gesso over them. After applying the first coat, you should put your canvas somewhere to dry away from moisture and excessive heat or cold.

After your canvas is thoroughly dry, you should lightly sand it before applying the next coat of gesso. Lightly sanding your canvas will roughen the surface slightly, which will give the next layer of gesso something to grip. After sanding your canvas, use a dry rag to gently rub off anything left on its surface. Then, using a large brush, you should apply another coat of gesso, making sure to brush in the opposite direction that you did for the first coat. You’ll want to repeat this process several times if you are trying to create a smooth surface.

An alternative method for applying gesso is to use spray gesso. Spray gesso is relatively new, but in the short time it has been on the market, it has proven to work just as well as traditional gesso. You’ll want to use the same approach that you use when brushing on gesso, applying several coats, and allowing ample drying time between coats. You’ll also want to ensure that your canvas is kept flat while you are using gesso. If you spray on gesso while your canvas is at an angle, the gesso will run, ruining your surface. Spray gesso has the benefit of going on evenly without leaving any brush marks, giving you a very smooth surface.

Use A Soft Grade Pencil To Draw Onto The Canvas As This Will Not Damage The Surface Of The Canvas

The one problem that you do have to be on the lookout for is the potential for a hard pencil to damage or tear the surface of your canvas. This isn’t much of a problem when you are working on a canvas panel, but when you are working on a stretched canvas, it’s something you need to be on the lookout for.

Hard graphite pencils are great for adding details, but the hard, sharp point on a pencil like this can scratch the surface of a canvas, or if enough pressure is applied, it can puncture a hole in the canvas. If this happens, then all of the hard work you’ve put in on your drawing could be ruined.

Using a softer graphite pencil is a much better option. Softer graphite is harder to control, but it’s also much less likely to damage the surface of your canvas. While it is more challenging to do so, you can create fine lines and details using a softer type of graphite. The key is to use light pressure and to use generous amounts of workable fixative.

Why Harder Grade Graphite Pencils Are A Bad Idea

Not only will harder graphite risk damaging your canvas, but it will also be much more challenging to apply to canvas. Hard graphite leaves lighter marks, which necessitates using a heavy hand when using it if you want to create marks that are easily visible. Hard graphite is also very difficult to blend, which will make it hard for you to create different values in your drawing. A big part of what makes canvas such an ideal drawing surface is the surface allows substantial amounts of graphite to be applied to it, so long as the graphite is soft.

Create Contrast Using Charcoal Pencils

If you are looking for a material besides paint that seems to have been made for canvas, then charcoal is something you should spend some time exploring. Charcoal is soft, lays down easily, and in the hands of a skilled artist, can be used to create a wide range of values. Charcoal pencils are soft enough to not damage canvas, and their softness also gives you the ability to blend and spread it over the surface quickly.

If you want to experiment with charcoal pencils on canvas, make sure you only use a few coats of gesso. You want a rougher surface when working with charcoal so that it will have enough tooth to stick to your canvas.

Drawing With Color Pencil Onto Canvas

Another type of pencil you may want to use on canvas is colored pencils. Colored pencils give an artist the ability to create beautiful and vibrant works of art that are colorful, without having to use actual paint. Colored pencils work on a variety of surfaces, but if you want to create any type of detail, they work better on a smoother surface. That means applying several coats of gesso before you start your drawing.

If you want to try something a little different, you can use turpentine to dissolve the pigments in your colored pencils, creating an effect more like a painting than a drawing. Using colored pencils like this is also a great way to create an under-painting. Colored pencils give you a high degree of control, which means you can draw out a detailed under-painting, then glaze color over the top.

Can Pencil Graphite Be Seen Through Acrylic Or Oil Paint?

Can graphite be seen through if you paint with oil paint or acrylic over the top of it? That depends on how thick the paint is. If you use thin washes, then you will be able to see any graphite that is on the canvas. But, if you use many layers of paint or thick paint, it should cover the graphite completely. Now, just because you can cover graphite with paint doesn’t mean that you should use it for your under-painting. If you are working with acrylic paints, then you can feel free to use graphite. Acrylic paint turns into a solid plastic sheet when it dries, so it will seal the graphite that you used to draw on the canvas while planning your painting.

But, if you are using oil paint, then you should never paint directly over a graphite drawing. It may not happen overnight, but over time graphite can rise to the surface through multiple layers of oil paint. Now, if you seal the graphite before painting over it, you shouldn’t have any problems. Workable fixative can work here, but if you want to make sure you get a seal that will protect your painting, you should use matt medium over workable fixative. Another option is to use charcoal to draw with before painting.

How To Trace An Image Onto A Canvas Using A Pencil

Tracing often gets a bad wrap in the art world because it’s viewed as cheating by many. If it makes you feel any better about it, the old masters used camera obscure techniques to project images onto canvas. If you use tracing as a way to speed up your process, then there’s nothing wrong with it. But, how can you trace onto a canvas?

The answer here is simple, you can’t. Most artists use a light-box for tracing, and this won’t work for a stretched canvas or for a canvas panel. What will work is carbon paper. If you use carbon paper, then go over the lines of what you want to trace, you’ll be left with an image that you can paint over. Just make sure that you seal it with workable fixative and then Matt medium before you start to paint over it.

Projecting A Pencil Drawing Onto A Canvas

While a light-box won’t work on a canvas, a projector will work just fine. High-end artist projectors can be quite expensive, placing outside of the budget for many amateur or young artists. Does that mean that you’ll have to give up on the idea of using a projector to help you with your art? Absolutely not! Instead of spending hundreds of dollars on a high-end artist projector, you can go for a less expensive projector that uses magnifies and projects a paper image, or you can use something along the lines of a Pico digital projector that hooks up to your computer.

If you use a projector, you’ll either need a steady desk or table to set it on and tape to secure it to a wall across from the desk or table. Or, you’ll need to buy a tripod stand that aims a projector down at your desk. Artist projectors are handy tools that can help you to shave a lot of time off of your process while also helping to maintain a proper perspective. Since artist projectors don’t project an incredibly bright image, they are best used in low light or darkened rooms.

Beginner Ideas For Drawing Onto A Canvas

If you are just starting to explore what you can create by drawing on canvas, you shouldn’t spend a fortune on materials. This is an experimental stage, so using less expensive materials can help to save your bank account while allowing you to develop your artistic skills. One option to consider here is using canvas panels.

They are similar to stretched canvas, but they are far less expensive. Another option would be to buy a roll of unprimed canvas. Buying canvas by the roll is much less costly than buying it stretched. By opting for the unprimed canvas, you can experiment with different numbers of coats of gesso to see what works best for you.

Another money-saving tip is to not be afraid to re-use canvases when you are just experimenting and practicing. You can erase most graphite and charcoal from a surface, then with a few coats of gesso, your canvas will be ready to draw on again. Whatever you do, when you first start drawing on canvas, don’t be afraid to experiment. Try new things, combine mediums together, and see what works for you. Drawing with pencils on canvas might feel odd at first, but once you get used to it, you’ll see that it opens up a whole new world of artistic possibilities for you.

HOW YOU CAN TURN YOUR PICTURE INTO A CARTOON FORM ON ADOBE PHOTOSHOP

ibukun781@gmail.com (Ibukunoluwa Adegoke) — Sun, 16 Aug 2020 09:24:00 +0000

The process is not that difficult to turn a photograph into a seemingly hand-drawn cartoon, and with this technique you can modify the appearance as you go along. At the end of this article i will also provide the link to download the application for your PC.

To create this effect we’re going to use a photograph of the late, great cartoonist Stan Lee, courtesy of Gage Skidmore on Wikimedia Commons, which you can download here.

1. Things To Do

Note: before you proceed with any picture make sure it's very clear and well-defined. that will make it easier for you to see where to trace or outline, This shot of Stan Lee fits the bill perfectly that's the reason why i'm using it.

2. Cut Out The Photograph

If you have Photoshop CC, the Select > Subject command will do a good job of automating this process. If you have an earlier version, then start with the Quick Selection Tool and modify the cutout using Select and Mask/Refine Edge (depending on your version of Photoshop). Use Command/Ctrl J to make a new layer from the selection, and add a white background behind it on a separate layer.

3. The Wrong Way

To turn the image to pure black and white, the Threshold filter (Layer > Adjustments > Threshold) would seem to be the best option. But as you can see here, this often produces a very rough, bitty result.

4. Soften The Image

Instead of going straight for Threshold, first use Filter > Noise > Median to soften the portrait. I used a radius of 4 pixels. Unlike Gaussian Blur, this softens while keeping crisp edges.

5. Add A Threshold Adjustment Layer

Use Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Threshold to add the Threshold Adjustment. Now that the Median filter has been applied, the effect is much smoother. take all the color out of the cutout layer using Image > Adjustments > Desaturate.

6. Dodge And Burn

Because we’re looking through the Threshold adjustment to the layer beneath, we can modify the base layer while seeing the final effect. Use the Burn Tool set to Highlights to darken around the edges of the shirt, to give it definition; hold Alt/Option to get the Dodge Tool temporarily, and use it to brighten the over-dark areas such as inside the glasses. Take your time over this step, referring to the original so you can get the shape of the nose and other features correct.

7. Add A Color Layer

Make a selection of the base layer by holding Command/Ctrl and clicking on its thumbnail in the Layers Panel. Then make a new layer, setting its mode to Multiply.

8. Flood With Color

Choose a skin color and use Option/Alt + Backspace to fill the selection with that color. Then deselect, and use the / key to lock the transparency of this layer so you can’t inadvertently paint over the edges.

9. Paint The Rest Of The Color

Paint on the color layer using appropriate colors for the mustache and hair, glasses and shirt. Paint over the teeth area in pure white. This looks OK so far, but the Threshold filter produces ragged edges. We’ll fix that next.

10. Softening The Edges

Hide the color layer, and use Command-Shift-Option+E / Ctrl-Shift-Alt+E to make a Merged Copy of the whole image. You can reveal the color layer now if you like, but be sure to work on the merged layer you just made. Use Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur to soften the image.

11. Sharpening Up

Softening the edges does, predictably, produce a fuzzy result. To fix this, open Layer > Adjustments > Levels, and in the Input Levels section drag the black and white triangles towards the center. This tightens up the blurring, producing smooth shapes. Don’t drag them all the way to the center or you’ll get ragged edges once again.

12. The Finished Image

Here’s the image of Stan Lee turned into a cartoon. It may not be up to Spider-Man quality, but that’s what made Stan Lee such an exceptional artist.

DRAWING TABLETS FOR DIGITAL ARTIST OVERALL

ibukun781@gmail.com (Ibukunoluwa Adegoke) — Sun, 09 Aug 2020 00:28:00 +0000

This is the 21st century, there is no need for such rudimentary tools like using real paint and actual pencils to create artwork.Today, you can produce everything on a mess-free digital drawing tablet.

We jest, of course. Traditional art forms will always have their place. But if you’d like to try some new creative mediums to express yourself, perhaps you should check out the best drawing tablets on the market for the digital artist.

Wacom Cintiq Pro 16

If you’re willing to spend a decent chunk of money on a drawing tablet, you should check out the Wacom Cintiq 16. It ticks all the boxes (except the price!) and is widely used by professional illustrators.

There’s a 4K 3840×2160 resolution display which measures 16 inches. It is also capable of displaying 16.7 million displayable colors, and has support for 3D images. There are multiple ways to connect the tablet to other devices (including USB-C and HDMI) thanks to the Wacom Link Plus hub (sold separately).

The price of the Wacom Cintiq Pro 16 might already be making your eyes water, but there’s also a 24-inch model and a 32-inch model. Both larger-size models come with increased price tags too.

Huion H610 Pro

A more affordable drawing tablet is the Huion H610 Pro. Some of the key specs you need to know about include a 5080LPI resolution, a report rate of 233PPS and a pen pressure sensitivity of 8,192. The screen measures 10 x 6.25 inches and has a smooth, paper-like texture.

The Huion H610 Pro is customizable. It has eight hard keys and 16 soft keys that you can set up with the shortcuts you use most frequently. You can expect complete compatibility with all the mainstream design apps, including Photoshop, Illustrator, Corel Painter, Manga Studio, GIMP, and Zbrush.

Unlike many tablets, this drawing tablet also comes with some extra goodies in the box, including a pen holder, a carry bag, and an artist’s glove.

Boogie Board Play ‘n’ Trace

Boogie Board’s products are well-known for providing one of the most natural pen-on-paper experiences. With the Play ‘n’ Trace, the company has carried those attributes over into a fantastic drawing tablet for kids.

The tablet looks like an artist’s palette, complete with a thumb grip and oval design. The screen has been made extra durable so it can withstand the inevitable rough-and-tumble that it will experience.

The screen is also slightly transparent; your kids can use it to trace other images and then edit them. The twin-tip stylus has one end for tracing and one end for filling in.

Turcom TS-6610

If you’re looking for the best drawing tablet for beginners, the Turcom TS-6610 is worth investigating. Its low price means it’s also a great drawing tablet for students.

Visually, it looks very similar to the Huion H610 Pro that we discussed earlier. Hard buttons are located down the left-hand side, and there’s a beefy bezel around the screen.

Like the Huion model, there’s a 10 x 6.25 inches display, though the LPI resolution is only 4,000. It also falls slightly below its competitor in terms of pen sensitivity, coming in at 2,048 instead of 8,192.

Again, all the major design software is supported, including Corel Painter, CorelDraw, Photoshop, Illustrator, Adobe Fireworks, ComicStudio, SAI, and Autodesk.

Boogie Board Jot 8.5

The Boogie Board Jot 8.5 is one of the most popular LCD writing tablets. From a drawing standpoint, it’s good for sketches and doodles, but it’s not going to let you create colorful masterpieces. It is mainly targeted at people who are looking for a digital replacement for pen and paper, sticky notes, and notebooks.

You can share your creations with other devices using the Jot app, attach it to the fridge using the rear magnets, and stand it on a flat surface using the stylus dock which doubles as a kick-stand. Three different colors are available: blue, grey, and pink.

So, which tablet do you go for if you want something that falls squarely in the middle of the range of products out there?

XP-PEN Artist

The XP-PEN Artist is a good choice. You can use the tablet to sketch, paint, and design illustrations. It has a 15-inch display with a resolution of 1920×1080, there are 8,192 levels of pen pressure sensitivity, and there’s also support for USB-C.

It also boasts an impressively large 178 degrees of visual angle And like some of the other products we’ve looked at, the XP-PEN Artist also has programmable express keys. In truth, the Wacom products are superior in terms of the wider ecosystem, but for non-professionals, it won’t be an issue. Again, all the major design apps are supported.

Wacom Intuos Pro

The Wacom Intuos Pro drawing tablets are not as feature-rich nor as high performance as the Cintiq range we looked at earlier. However, if you want to enter the Wacom ecosystem without spending a fortune, they are a solid choice.

The tablet comes in three different sizes. The smallest screen size is 6.3 x 3.9 inches, the medium model is 8.7 x 5.8 inches, while the largest version is 12.1 x 8.4 inches.

Each of the tablets ship with a Wacom Pro Pen 2—that’s the same stylus as the one included with the Cintiq Pro 16. All the Wacom Intuos Pro tablets have 8,192 pen pressure levels, built-in Bluetooth, and support for the major design software on PC and Mac

We’re confident that one of the seven tablets we have recommended will provide you with the features you need. For different reasons, they are all among the best drawing tablets you can buy.

If, after looking at these models, you decide a dedicated drawing tablet isn’t for you, there are still options open to you. Your smartphone can make a great alternative, especially when coupled with the best Ten (10) digital art application for android

BEST TEN DIGITAL APPLICATION FOR ANDROID

ibukun781@gmail.com (Ibukunoluwa Adegoke) — Sat, 08 Aug 2020 21:29:00 +0000

Today i will be talking about the best digital application for artwork, you may not be an artist (yet), a tablet with a painting app could be exactly what you need to jump-start the skill. this application are very good and easy for sketching, drawing or painting.

As tablets have increased in capabilities, sketching and paintings apps have followed suit. That means you can hold a complete painting studio right in your hands.

The following painting apps for Android are aimed at professionals and amateurs alike. While you don’t need a stylus, it’s recommended if you want to use these apps to their full potential.

Drawing with a tablet is not like working with a pen and paper, and varies a lot from using a paintbrush. Unsurprisingly, using a mouse is also completely different.

Whatever digital art app you choose, be sure that your Android tablet has multiple touch points. Better still, it should be able to detect when your palm is resting on the display.

While most Android painting apps will let you use your fingers, a stylus is a smart option. Some Android tablets ship with a stylus. For example, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 has an S-Pen, a larger version of the Samsung Galaxy Note’s stylus.

A good all-around option is the Adonit Dash Capacitive stylus, compatible with all Android phones and tablets. If your budget is smaller, consider the MEKO Universal Stylus. This uses a disc stylus nib for improved accuracy. While it doesn’t look as impressive as other styli, it is a great entry-level option.

Once you’re ready to draw, check these best Android drawing apps.

1. Adobe Illustrator Draw

Adobe offers a free sketching app called Adobe Illustrator Draw. It features a simple interface, intuitive gesture mechanics, and comprehensive feature list.

Adobe Illustrator Draw allows you to create and save vector illustrations on your phone or tablet. Not only are the brush tools sleek and easy to use, this feature-packed drawing app is surprisingly smooth.

Since this makes vector art, images are crisp and clear. And as an official Adobe app, you can seamlessly transfer sketches or finished products into Adobe Illustrator to continue working. From layering to sketching to painting, this app has it all.

THE MAJOR SKILLS YOU NEED AS A BEGINNER

ibukun781@gmail.com (Ibukunoluwa Adegoke) — Fri, 07 Aug 2020 09:03:00 +0000

Degbolablog is designed to teach those that are willing to learn how to draw, paint,edit and how to create different kind of graphics work.

therefore i welcome you here once again, but today i will like to teach you the five basic skill that also help me during the time i was learning drawing

1. Identifying and Drawing Edges

What are the edges? Theoretically, they are the lines that separate two areas in your drawing making it easier to understand and conferring more depth to it.

Why are they important? If you don’t use them your drawing will look like its an unfocused image. Think of them as some borders, all countries have clearly defined borders. Without them, there will be war all over the place. Now, you don’t want to start a color war, do you?

There are a few types of edges for drawings:

hard
soft
lost

Trying to master all of them might take time, but for now let’s focus on the easier ones, the hard edges. What do you do to practice?

SHAPES, SHAPES AND…MORE SHAPES

That’s right, draw shapes, any type of shapes just draw more, more and more. If you think you got a good grasp on the basic shapes to try something more advanced like 2D simple pictures.

2. How to set proportions and sizes and how to see the angles

Well, this is a long title… The point here is to learn to see in perspective. This is very important for a few things like:

More in-depth drawing
Drawing in multiple plans
Putting more objects in the page
Drawing a 3D image and much more

   How you can practice this? You guessed it! SHAPES, SHAPES AND…MORE SHAPES
I will never stress out enough how important drawing basic shapes are. Draw shapes like spheres, cubes, cons, etc. If you have a good enough experience you can go and try sketching some furniture pieces in 3D view, something easy like a closet or a desk.

3. Understanding colors
   This is pretty on point part. You need to learn what every color means and what it transmits. Learn what colors go well together and what doesn’t fit so well. It’s very important for the emotion your painting is sending. I will talk more in the future on this subject.

What you can do to practice?

   DRAW KIDS BOOKS. I mean it, its the best way of learning what colors make a good pair and which not, just have fun!

4. Shadows and lighting

   This comes as a helping tool for the previews ones. Knowing where to use shadows and where to light the drawing really makes a difference and takes your art to a new level. Shadows can do more than make a 2D object appear 3D. Proper lighting and shadow can explode your perception of the painting. They can :

Make more characters appear in the scene( sketching shadows on the walls)
Showing the material of objects
Enhancing the power of colors
Changing the perspective from which you can see the picture etc.

5. Concept and communication

Drawing is art and the most import thing that art does is to communicate feelings, ideas, anything the creator wants. This may be the most important part because this is what all the drawings mean in the end- the message they send. Use your drawings to send a message. Make a difference!
