Any so-called trick that tries to improve sketch ability quickly is not credible. The improvement of sketching ability can only be achieved by persistent training. Practice makes perfect. To improve sketching ability, we should pay attention to the following points:

1, ideological understanding:

There is no shortcut to learning sketch. Start with the subjects you are interested in and draw more pictures. As long as you keep on, work hard and practice repeatedly, you will always find a sketch learning method that suits you. Qi Baishi, a famous painter in China, formally studied painting in his thirties. I am also an amateur artist who basically achieved a considerable level by self-study. So learning to draw is not the fundamental problem sooner or later. First of all, we must establish self-confidence

2, pay attention to the foundation:

The basic skills and methods of painting are very important. Before painting, we should study the structure and shape of the depicted object and find the three sides and five tones of light. Draw the rough outline of its block surface, and then describe and improve the processing as a whole. The basis of sketch is to draw more pencils to sketch. Let's talk about still life first. Such as porcelain, glass tea sets, cups and saucers, saucers and eggs, plaster geometric models, plaster head models, stationery books, various textured objects, indoor scenes, etc. , you can draw. From single to combination, from simple to complex. Next, you can try to sketch characters. While sketching, we should also practice various lines, such as straight lines, curves, oblique lines, intersecting lines and circular lines, which are the basic elements of sketch expression (such as figures on coins and landscape sketch are good examples). You also need to master the skills of using a brush by learning calligraphy and painting (that is, works expressed with a brush). Buy famous works to copy and learn, their works are the best teachers. Because the primary study of all kinds of paintings must start from copying. Improve your appreciation and painting level by copying. In addition, the introduction, practice and painting practice of sketch should be carried out simultaneously.

3, grasp the law:

While learning sketch, we should practice, experience and learn the three primary colors (red, yellow and blue) specially, so as to master the rules of color blending and transformation. You can also learn and master the methods and skills of coloring from simple copying vegetables, melon and fruit watercolors and gouache paintings. I also want to read some art books from the superficial to the profound, especially the art series such as Perspective of Painting, Perspective Knowledge of Painting, Steps and Skills of Sketch, How to Draw with Pencil, Knowledge of Color, etc., so as to improve my knowledge and artistic accomplishment of painting theory and perspective.

4, repeated practice:

Sketch is the foundation of art and should be done every day. A work can be copied repeatedly, and there will be new improvements every time. When painting, you should enter the realm of selflessness, and you can't rush for success. Even if you only paint one picture a day, as long as you devote yourself to painting, you will have unexpected effects. Poor foundation, while learning sketch, you can also start with simple contents such as painting landscapes, fish and insects, vegetables, melons and fruits. The improvement of any kind of art comes from the understanding and accumulation of various related knowledge. We can draw nutrition from literary works, musical works and opera works, broaden our artistic horizons and cultivate our thinking inspiration and artistic cells.

5. Attention theory:

The mastery of painting skills comes not only from practice, but also from theoretical research. For example, perspective theory is very important. To put it simply, besides artistic expression, a work should also conform to the correct proportion, visual laws such as apparent horizon and horizon, perspective relationship and sense of space. There is also its overall layout and composition, and it is necessary to highlight the reasonable elements of the theme and theme in line with the composition.

In short, the improvement of painting performance technology depends not only on diligence, but also on understanding (that is, the depth of your understanding of your own works and others' works). Painting is a collection of various comprehensive arts. Sketch not only lays a foundation for mastering the relationship between light and shade and modeling ability of objects, but also makes a basic study for the layering and contrast of colors. Mastering the three sides and five tones of sketch is not far from success. Sketch is to accumulate material for creation, and also to practice and improve your ability to capture dynamics and expressions. And color is the understanding of the shape of the object to be painted, and it is the grasp and shaping of the shape. Only by mastering the basic skills of all these paintings and studying them diligently, I believe I will succeed.
