Why Do You Need To Sketch?
It is recommended to sketch your picture before you add colored pencil, marker, paint, or shading to it. This is because if you ink your art before roughly sketching in the details, the size or shape could be really off. For example, if you paint an eye without making pencil marks first, you could waste your paper, mess up the rest of your painting, or mix paints. However, if you sketch first, you will have some guidelines to follow along as you paint and you wont waste paper, mess up your whole entire picture, or mix specific colors.
How Do You Sketch?
Going back to the example on the home page, sketching something simple is fairly easy. When you are sketching, you can simply keep adding lines or erasing lines to get a rough sketch. Then, when it comes time to ink your sketch, you can see exactly where you need to put something. NEVER press down as hard as you can on your paper! It will leave a dent that you cannot get rid of.
But sketching could also be very difficult. If your drawing is going to have a lot of details, you would have to sketch many more details then you would normally have to. For example, if you are just drawing a simple and easy eyeball, its not that hard to get three circles drawn. But if you are drawing a more advanced sketch of an eye, its going to take lots of time to get your lines right.
Also, in the conclusion tab, it mentions practice. Practice is what makes all artists, well, how good they are.
