Tips for Beginners

To make your drawings beautiful, you need to know a few secrets:

• If you can't draw a symmetrical heart, you can prepare a stencil. Fold a square sheet of paper in half. Draw half of the heart, starting from the fold line. Cut it out. Straighten the paper. You will get an even heart, which you can outline on the drawing.
• When drawing pictures with simple pencils, you always need to erase the background from the smeared graphite at the end, otherwise the picture will look sloppy.
• Ballpoint pens may not write well over lines drawn with a pencil. To fix this, you need to lighten the lines slightly with an eraser. If this does not help, then the pen should be replaced with a non-gel one.
• In order not to change the water in the brush rinse container too often, you need to prepare 3-4 glasses of water and rinse the brushes in them after certain colors of paint. For example: 1 glass for washing off red and pink paints, another for washing off black paint, 3 glasses for washing off blue and light blue paints.

Learning to draw pictures on a love theme is not difficult. Hearts help to enhance the viewer's impression and make it clear that the characters in the drawing are in love. Beginning artists can use the works of more experienced masters for copying. Gradually, the drawing skill will develop, and the artist will be able to embody his own ideas on paper.
