The practice of lines should first pay attention to the amount of ink dipped, neither too much nor too little, and secondly, pay attention not to hold the pen too tightly. Then you can draw a line along the direction (along the direction: right-handed people go from left to right, left-handed people go from right to left).

Beginners don't need to draw long lines, just make sure the lines are straight and uniform in thickness.

1, straight line practice

note:

★ Is the line straight?

★ After proficiency, you can speed up the tracing appropriately.

★ Whether the pen is crooked when opening and closing.

★ How many lines can be traced continuously after proficiency.

★ Whether the line thickness is uniform.

2. Thick and thin lines

Try to draw thick and thin lines. In the process of tracing lines, the intensity is suddenly increased, so that the nib is separated and the lines become thicker. On the contrary, the force will make the lines thinner. This thick and thin line is completed by force and force.

It should be noted that if the force is too large, it may cause a large amount of ink to be ejected or the pen tip to be opened and unable to be retracted, so pay attention to the strength and rhythm of the force. Novices may be stiff, mainly because they feel the quick opening and closing of the pen tip, and then try to draw thick and thin lines quickly after they are proficient.

note:

★ Is the line thickness clear?

★ Whether the lines are straight.

★ Whether the strength is appropriate when applying force.

★ After proficiency, you can speed up appropriately.

3. Practice of S-shaped line

A typical curve exercise is to draw an S-shaped line. The specific methods are as follows: do not use force when starting the pen, use force at the corner and use force at the end of the corner.

note:

★ You can rotate the drawing paper properly to keep the writing direction always smooth?

Try to draw an S-shape.

4. Practice of different thick and thin lines

Practice drawing three kinds of lines with different thicknesses, that is, draw thick lines, middle lines and thin lines with the same pen tip.

It should be noted that the drawing thickness should not be too tight, resulting in a large amount of ink loss, and the line thickness should be kept uniform.

Step 5 draw a circle

Practice drawing circles by hand without any tools. Try to keep the lines even, or rotate the drawing paper properly. When drawing a circle, don't rush for success, and try not to let the lines shake.

6. Fading line

The so-called stress is to slowly lift the nib, gradually withdraw the pen, and finally separate the nib from the drawing paper. The drawing method of the faded line is: apply force immediately at the beginning of writing, and gently withdraw the force at the end of the line.

Fading line is one of the most important skills in drawing cartoons, and it is the basis of drawing "concentration line" and "effect line".

7. Long straight line

Practice the practice of long straight lines, the length is about 40CM. Animate a long straight line with the elbow swing, and don't hesitate in the middle, otherwise the line will not be smooth. Beginners can use a pencil ruler to make a line draft and practice tracing in advance.
