Drawing Indian Village
Many soon-to-be artists wonder if they have the talent for sketching. Something at the back of their head is nagging at them to pick up sketching but for some reason, they have yet done so.

There are many reasons for not picking up the pencil to draw but the most common reason that I've come across is the lack of time.

Personally, I don't think that's the real reason but somehow, it has manifested in the name of time. Everyone seems to be putting the blame on time these days, for whatever that needed to be done but didn't get done.

Well, I believe that the lack of time is just an excuse for something deeper. Maybe it's a lack of confidence. Maybe it's fear...fear of failure, fear of rejection, and so on.

Whatever it is, I want to dispel all these roadblocks once and for all. Pencil sketching is something that can be picked up and learned. There's a very systematic process to it and if you're really passionate about sketching, there's nothing in this world that can really stop you from becoming a really good artist.

With the right instructions and guidance, anyone can learn to draw well. I'll just proceed to show you a tip or two to let you see what I mean.

Let's say you want to draw a house from your home village. It's important to you right? You want to capture the essence of the village in your drawing and keep it as a memento. You'll see that it's not really hard.

You'll start with drawing some basic shapes and forms to capture the shape of the house. Keep your drawing light at this stage. If you draw incorrectly, simply erase the lines with an eraser.

Once you have the basic form ready, draw in the other details like windows, doors, and so on. The key here is to adopt a "broad-to-fine-" approach. Block out areas with different tones of shades at this stage and shade broadly.

Use your finger or a paper stump to perform the shading for a smooth effect. Once you're happy with the shades, use a fine point pencil to sharpen the details. That's it!

How hard can that be? When I have an interested visitor at my website, I'm never afraid losing them because they can't pick up the skills. But I am sometimes worried that I may lose them because of a lack of interest.

So interest and passion comes before techniques. Do you think you're ready for more instructions?
