If you practice sketching first, you'd better start with simple geometry. If you have mastered some sketching skills, continue to draw still life. Then talk about how to draw still life fruits (take apples as an example).

If you want to create a work instead of just drawing an apple, you must first put things in order and arrange them reasonably. It is suggested to draw three or four apples with some porcelain bottles, jars, vases or curtains. Then pay attention to finding the position of the light source, which is very important. The light determines the position, area and overall composition of the shadow.

For drawing fruits, it is recommended to use 2B pencil as the main soft pencil (if used together with 4B and 6B). Use a hard pencil in reflection and a soft pencil in backlight.

Of course, the first step to start using a pen is to draw an outline, which only needs a general outline, which does not need to be very detailed and will not waste a lot of time. It should be noted, however, that the contour lines are deeper where there are shadows, that is, attention should be paid to indicating the light and shade when drawing contour lines.

Draw the outline and start to brush. From big to small, draw from big places to details. Start from a deeper place and draw too much at a shallower place. Pay attention to the boundary between light and shade and the level of color blocks.

Beginners should pay attention to avoid problems such as "inaccurate shape", "unclear depth, unclear results" and "overall gloom".
