Usually when we draw sketches, we first draw the outline we want to draw, that is the part of the line draft. Some people may start to feel that they are drawing strange before they have finished the line draft. Yes, it is usually caused by the lack of awareness of the basic three-dimensional sense of painting, and the disorder of the lines themselves! So in the drawing line draft stage, if you have these two problems, you can take the following solutions!

Usually, the lack of awareness in this area is caused by the lack of knowledge about painting! At this time, you need to think about it, what kind of knowledge is the result of your lack of knowledge?

After drawing the line draft, we usually want to use hatching to draw shadows or some details to show the layering of the picture. But at this time, if you are not very familiar with the tricks of drawing lines, at the beginning, you must draw the line out of the shadow range, or draw the line that is not full of the shadow range, or in the process of drawing the entire shadow block, the line will be dark or light. But it doesn't matter, this is not the sign what "You can't draw"? Don't be nervous! It's just a sign that you haven't caught the trick yet! So the following are the practices that can be solved for these three problems, you can refer to.

When your hatching are dark or light, it means that the strength of your strokes is inconsistent, so you need to practice drawing hatching until you find that the hatching you draw have more than 80% consistency of depth and light, then indicates that you have a certain degree of control over the strength of your strokes.

You can practice with a full grid, the grid size should not be too large, try to be within 3*3 cm, and then practice that the head and tail of the lines you draw can be just at the edge of the grid, through this practice, you will gradually master the drawing line distance.

In addition to the above practice, you can do the practice of connecting hatching to hatching. This drawing method is suitable for drawing a large range of shadow blocks. This part is a bit more difficult, because you don't only need to master the shadow hatching of one block is the same, and it needs to seamlessly follow the hatching of another block, but if you master the distance between the stroke and the seam of the hatching block, then whether you want to draw the shadow of a large block or a small block, it will not fail you! In short, sketching shadows at this level is no longer your Achilles heel!
