Pencil Sketch

Updated: Nov 2, 2025

Pencil drawing is a basic technique that is very helpful in learning to draw a specific object, to plan an idea. In addition, pencil drawing is available! You can take it anywhere and it is not heavy.

Digital painting has gained momentum in recent years and I was immediately interested in digital painting rather than in classical techniques. The problem is that at first it is difficult to draw on a graphics tablet or iPad and you can't move them everywhere. (my iPad is very heavy and you can't take it everywhere) so drawing with a pencil is a good solution. To this day I develop an idea and learn to draw a certain subject on paper with pencil and then move on to digital painting.

1. Where do you start? Of course, a sheet of paper and a pencil. The advantage of drawing with a pencil is that you don't have to invest in equipment! All you need is a pencil and a sheet of paper, just make sure the pencil is sharp. I usually use a mechanical pencil, but I really like to draw with HB 6B and 2B pencils,they are good if you want shadows.


2.First, draw basic shapes.

3.The next step is to draw what is in front of you. I would recommend somthing simple and not too complicated. I drew an eraser because it is in front of me and easy.

4.Now you can draw more things! You draw from pictures or from what is in front of you. Easy subjects to start with are still lifes or plants, maybe birds, don't take on a subject that is too difficult at first (people is the most difficult subject to draw) you will slowly progress from simple and easy to complicated.
