Basic Shapes

Start with basic shapes. All objects and things are made of basic shapes. Sketch with lighter lines.

HOW TO SKETCH

    Begin to train your eyes to see the shapes and forms of objects around you. You can start with pictures in magazines and printed materials. Trace the shapes that you see.

    Then, try to recreate those objects you traced, using the basic shapes that the objects are made of.

    Start with simple objects and sketch them using the basic shapes. Once you're comfortable, move on to more complex objects around you. Finally, practice, practice, practice.

In cursive art, it is a classic, elegant hand that emphasizes structure, consistency, and a slight slant. Here are key topics: use smooth paper designed for calligraphy that won't feather or bleed. This included practicing every day to get better at it.

EXAMPLES

Use dip pens with broad-edge nibs or specific calligraphy fountain pens like the Pilot Parallel pens or broad-tip calligraphy markers, or you can just use pencils like I do sometimes.
