Step-by-step sketching examples

You are here Practice >> step-by-step sketching

I have included some basic step-by-step sketching examples from around the web to let you learn 'How to sketch as a beginner'. Understand how the images/cartoons are sketched from simple basic line sketches. Just go through and understand the process.

These are some simple basic sketches illustrating how by following basic steps can we sketch any figure. These pictures are not meant for practice. Of course, as time moves and as you move on to intermediate level of sketching, you will find this easy and in fact you might skip starting from line drawing.

Perception sketching guide and exercises

Sketching practice - PERCEPTION

You are here ......... Practice >> perception sketching

Sketching is an important medium in CEED exam and Part-B is intended to test your design and creative ability through the mode of sketching. So, we will try to learn how to improve our sketching work in the coming days. Lot of practice is required to master the art of sketching. Perception is an important concept in any sketch, drawing or even photography. Whatever you see - they appear in perceptive or converging to our eyes. So it's an important factor in CEED exam. 

To ease you with the perceptive way of visualizing and sketching, I had included many sketches below, You are advised to go through each sketch and do the following :

1. Observe how things/objects are arranged
2. Observe how walls are converging (in perceptive) with proportionate convergence of other things/objects placed
3. Identify how simply they were sketched with minimal details (shadings and so on)
4. Start sketching by looking or copying
5. Finally try to sketch (roughly) the same without seeing; by remembering or visualization.

Doing this, might help you with the concept of perceptive. Friends remember  that when you perceive things or portraits in perception, then sketching them will be damn easy and one who is good at perception is also good at sketching !!!

I had already discussed the following concept in my earlier posts, but just to remind you and as an example, let me show the below sketch and discuss the same concept here.

Now try to perceive or visualize the same sketch as a picture in which lines are converging as shown below :

Visualizing like this is a great and faster way of improving your perception sketching skills. Now please sketch the below as practice

Sketching practice - HOUSEHOLD

you are here ......... Practice >> household sketching

Most of the sketching works in Part - B of CEED exam were more or less related to day-to-day used products or surrounding things at home or workplace. It's important that we get habituated to sketching of such things so that whenever such questions were asked, we shouldn't be feeling like a new exercise. This will save our time also. Let us practice them with the same principal that we followed in perception practice !!

That is, we will go through each sketch and do the following :

1. Observe how things/objects are arranged
2. Observe the texture/composition used 
3. Identify how simply they were sketched with minimal details (shadings and so on)
4. Start sketching by looking or copying
5. Finally try to sketch (roughly) the same without seeing; by remembering or visualization.

Please see the below pictures for practice. Right click on any picture and click save to save the picture to your system/PC for later use and reference.

Please see the below pictures for texture practice. Right click on any picture and click save to save the picture to your system/PC for later use and reference.

We will use our usual principle here. That is, we will go through each sketch and do the following :

1. Observe how things/objects are arranged
2. Observe the texture/composition used 
3. Identify how simply they were sketched with minimal details (shadings and so on)
4. Start sketching by looking or copying
