How can I get started with WSO2?

I would like to become a good drawer. Any ideas on how I can get started?

  • I used to take art lessons and I was a pretty good drawer and painter but it's been years since I have drawn or painted anything. I would really like to get back into that but I don't know how to get started again. I would rather learn myself than take lessons. Do you have any advice or suggestions? Any helpful books I can get? How can I get started again? Thanks a lot!

  • Answer:

    This site has good tips on drawing and painting http://www.artworkbymo.blogspot.com/ Draw the pictures and study the information in the following books. You will learn how to draw anything and learn the fundamentals of drawing. Buy books at Amazon website. 1. You Can Draw In 30 Days by Mark Kistler -OR- Mark Kistler's Draw Squad 2. Exploring The Basics Of Drawing by Victoria Vebell 3. Drawing For Dummies by Brenda Hoddinott 4. Lifelike Drawing With Lee Hammond LEARN PERSPECTIVE: In order to draw/paint something realistic, you must learn perspective, which is the illusion of depth and dimension on a flat surface. Things look different when viewed from various positions, which is called one point perspective, two point perspective, three point perspective, or foreshortening. If you learn to draw/paint things as it really appears to the eye when looking at it, then your object will be in correct perspective. Read the book, Perspective by William F. Powell. The book, DK Art School: An Introduction To Art Techniques by DK Publishing is an excellent book for a beginner exploring paint! The demonstrations are clearly explained and the examples/pictures are good! It discusses an introduction to drawing, perspective, watercolor, pastels, oil, acrylics, and mixed media.

I've been drawing for years, and I recently started drawing realistic pictures. Books or internet tutorials could help, but the only way to get really good is to PRACTICE. A lot. It's also really helpful to begin with drawing people in your environment, photos or random strangers. It will help you make the clothes and shapes of the face more natural looking. Also, maybe it would help to first draw a skull to get the bones right. Especially cheek bones are very important.
