Instructions
Step 1
The hardest part is starting from scratch. Nowadays, using the Internet, you can quickly get any information. You can climb through different forums, but the best start is to find literature for a novice artist. Willie Poheney's The Art of Drawing is an excellent starting point for the visual arts.
Step 2
It is best to start learning drawing with a pencil. This is the most convenient and unpretentious tool with which a beginner will be able to master the basics of construction, composition, and light-and-shadow development. First, you should draw simple shapes - balls, cubes, cones and their various combinations, drawing both from nature and from photographs. Then you can move on to still lifes. Then you can start drawing a human figure and portraits. In general, as in any business, it is worth going from the general to the particular.
