Recommendations for creating a drawing

In most cases, geese are drawn with orange beaks and feet, but in reality these elements can be of any color.

For example, a Canada goose has a dark brown head and beak, a whitish neck ring, and a gray torso.

1. With light and shadow to work thoroughly, in order to well convey the texture of the bird. Take to express the beak and paws darker shades of colors. Leave the cut on the cheek blank to further understand how the colors will be distributed in this area.
2. When you draw the outlines, don't press too hard on the pencil. Because it makes the pencil traces begin to shine, and the sheet from several such methods of drawing can break. It is better to go over the outlines several times, but with a little pressure.
3. If you want to remove the wrong transfer of light and shadow, you can use a cotton swab soaked in isopropyl alcohol. This alcohol is commonly used in hand sanitizer sprays. This method can be used if you draw on thick album paper, you should not do it on thin sheets, because there will be a hole.
4. If you want to learn how to draw cool plain pencil, then try to give this case 20 minutes every day. Only then will you get the basic skills of drawing in just 2-3 months. We advise you to buy a small sketchbook that you can take to work, school or just for a walk in the park.
5. If you are only sketching outlines, then don't forget to sharpen your pencil more often, in this case the lines will be thin and they will be much easier to remove with an eraser. The best way to remove a pencil is with a soft eraser that you can easily bend in half and it won't break.
6. It is better to use a sharpener without a storage container, take a regular one made of magnesium alloy, practice shows that such sharpeners sharpen pencils better and do not chew the shavings at the same time.
7. In the process of drawing, it is advisable to periodically change the degree of pressure on the pencil, in which case the tone of the drawing will be strongly differentiated, and it will look spectacular. Stroking is properly performed from the direction of the base of the feathers, you can use your finger, cotton buds or a cotton swab.
8. For competent shading it is better to prepare several pencils of different softness. It is better to do shading slowly and evenly, than to rush and spoil the goose.
9. If you are new to drawing, it is very important to use drawing schemes or video instructions. At the same time, do not forget to do everything step by step, only in this way you will get a good drawing of the goose.
