How to Draw: Understanding the Basics

So you want to learn how to draw. Drawing, whether realistic portraits or fun cartoons and Japanese manga, all starts with the basics. Each type of drawing has its own quirks and perks so you will have to take some time to study each category but at the very beginning you want to focus on these simple tips to get you started.

Get the Right Drawing Materials: Pencil and Paper

How to Draw: Understanding the Basics

No matter what you do, you'll have to start with the right set of pencils and paper. Start with the right type of paper. Avoid sheets that are glossy because they can be too smooth, preventing the surface from catching the granite of the pencil's lead. Don't go for old paper either because they catch too much. Office paper and printing paper are some of the best.
As for pencils, this can be complicated depending on your preferences but there is a standard that most artists stick with. For your initial sketches and outlines you'll want faint lines and a hard pencil is best for that. Go for an HB pencil for those initial outlines. When you want to start adding darker lines and shades then shift to soft grade pencils. Most artists use 2B, 4B, and 6B grade pencils for darker lines and shading.

Start by Drawing Basic Shapes
How to Draw: Understanding the Basics

Professional artists can draw shapes and lines right out of their head but for a beginner you will want to start with a template. The best way to create your own template is to master the basic shapes. By mastering how to draw an oblong or egg you can learn to draw a human face. By mastering how to draw squares, rectangles, and angled lines you can draw the template to draw gigantic robots and war machines.
The first place to start is the egg shape. Master this along with oblongs and circles. Use them to draw faces. This will help you study the proper proportion of the human face and later the human body. By mastering this you can use basic shapes to draw a human figure in any pose.

The Use of Guidelines
Going along with the topic of basic shapes, you will want to learn how to use guide lines. This is where the faint lines of an HB pencil come into play. There are many simple templates you could learn to master. Here's a good sample:
  • Guidelines in drawing the human face (cartoonish)
Start by drawing an egg, with the point end at the bottom (it will serve as your chin). You'll now want to draw a vertical line right down the middle to divide the face into two equal parts. Now there are three horizontal lines you will want to focus on. The first one is located 1/3 from the top and this will serve as the hairline or top edge of the forehead. Halfway from the top draw another horizontal line and this will serve as the area where you'll draw the eye line. The last horizontal line is placed halfway from the nose line to the chin. This is where the lips will be.

Study the Masters
Of course one of the best ways to learn how to draw is to study the style of art that you want to emulate. If you are fond of Japanese anime then you'll want to look at some famous work and see how the shapes and lines are drawn. If you are fond of realistic portraits then take a good look at several famous artworks and look for similarities that you can practice.
None of this will mean a thing, however, if you don't sit down and draw. The key to becoming a professional artist is to sit and spend hours drawing. Draw anything. Don't just focus on what you are interested in. Draw people, cartoons, flowers, buildings, and more. This will help you grasp the full relationship of lines, proportions, and basic shapes.

How to Get the Right Supplies for Cartoon Drawing

Drawing cartoons is not as simple as it might sound. You want to be able to draw something that kids and adults will find beautiful but they should be simple enough that you can replicate the drawing in a short span of time. Any cartoon character from Mickey Mouse to Patrick Star can be done with the simplest patterns and lines. However, the other side to drawing them is to have the right supplies.

You might have the skill and talent but with the wrong supplies your drawing could go to waste. With the wrong paper your art could smear or smudge. With the wrong pencils you might end up having a hard time seeing your outlines or you might make mistakes that are hard to correct. With that in mind, consider the following tips on how to get right supplies for cartoon drawing.

How to Get the Right Supplies for Cartoon Drawing 

Getting the Right Paper
Your paper should be on the top of your list. You will want a type of paper that is not too smooth because smooth paper can lead to smears and faint lines. You will also want to avoid very rough paper because the lines could get thick, fuzzy, and hard to control.

 Bristol paper and Vellum paper are some of the most popular types used by professional cartoonists. Comic book artists tend to use Vellum because of the texture - it is just smooth enough to avoid unnecessary thick, fuzzy pencil lines but not too smooth to cause severe smears or smudges. Bristol has several variants so take some time to find which one works best for you. Sometimes simple Oslo or Office Printing Paper can do well and a lot of cartoonists use these papers for sketches.

Getting the Right Pencil

The pencil is going to be your bread and butter. Cartoon drawings tend to rely on two kinds of lines - one faint line and one thick line for borders and emphasis lines. However, you need three, not two, types of pencils.
Go to any office supply store and look at the pencils. You will notice they go from 6B to 6H. The H pencils use hard lead, with 6H being the hardest. This means they do not wear off easily but it also means you can only get very faint, soft lines. An HB or 2H is a good choice for doing sketches and outlines.
The B pencils are the exact opposite. They are soft lead and are much thicker. They are used for fuzzy, dark, and thick lines. 6B is the thickest. You'll want to use 2B for finalizing your drawing and then a 3B or 4B for dark emphasis lines.
If you want to use a mechanical pencil you will notice they come in three widths. 0.7 is the narrowest lead point, 0.5 is the normal pencil width, and 0.3 is the widest. In the long run it can be cheaper to use mechanical pencils than regular pencils that wear down and get shorter.
Getting the Right Eraser

A lot of novice cartoonists forget the importance of a good eraser. You will make mistakes - that is inevitable. Even expert cartoonists who work for comic books and animation studios make mistakes. And even if you rarely do, you still need a good eraser to remove your faint outlines and sketches as you do the final work on your cartoon drawing.
Avoid the usual type of eraser. Rubbing on your pencil work is not going to do you any good. It damages the surface of the sheet. Instead, use gum erasers or kneaded erasers. The problem with gum erasers is that they crumble easily. Kneaded erasers can be pretty fun to play with. You just have to make sure you practice putting pressure when you erase so you know how much pressure will remove a faint line and how much pressure will remove a darker, thick pencil line.
