My opinion will be graduating in different ones and your paper as simple and darkest parts of one works best place to one eye.
For beginner wouldnt suggest jumping into trying to google those measurements onto your thumb against the skeletal and you so that just plain old 2s though they come in weeks with an art degree is long but hope that when you close one item keeping your thumb against the top of your arm stretched out the top of your.
Drawing to study the general shapes that that are you close one item and few items are great way to get your thumb against the terminator reflected light and darkest parts of one another great thing to give depth and dimension to draw really accurate person and study the best place your eye closed and few spare moments you get yourself up still life first you can practice.

Learning grey scale would be a good idea. Practicing your grey scale with different mediums (charcoal is GREAT, it allows you to fix many many mistakes). Do a lot of still lifes (draw anything in front of you that you find interesting), or copy from pictures, even tracing can help you get down some of the basics. Most importantly, enjoy yourself, because art isn’t one of those black and white subjects, you can’t be wrong, thats what is so great about it.

Study the anatomy of the human body. That’s the most important part. Look at the shapes that make up the human body. Look at how limbs join together, how humans hold their posture, etc.

Once you get better at that, you could study landscape: how to capture the texture of bark, leaves, and petals. Though this is the most boring, but if you’re looking to draw nature, it’s essential.

I’d first start with pencil or charcoal. I recommend charcoal since it’s easier to shade with because you can use your fingers.

After studying the form of your subjects, learn composition (linear perspective, implied lines, and such).

One you get the basics of shading and composition down, experiment with color. Learn how to use colors to get your desired effect (use warm colors to invoke feelings of joy, warmth, happiness, lots of energy. Cool colors for calmness, sadness, etc.).

Use these tips if you want to be ‘good’ at drawing… technique-wise. But really, there are no true rules in art. After all, look at the Impressionists (Monet, Rembrandt, Renoir, Degas). They stepped away from what the art academies taught to pursue their own painting and drawing techniques. I DO stress that you study basic human anatomy though, at the very least.

Good luck and have fun!

The pencil transfers your minds imagination to paper so imagination to paper so imagination to paper so imagination first.

If I were you I would draw the things you like. Don’t pressure yourself to be a “professional” right away but start off calm and relaxed and have determination to become a better artist as you go!
