Hello steemians. My name is Arthur and I’m untalented.

Many people believe that only those who have talent, a gift from birth, can paint. Do you think so too?

I think it’s not true. Everyone can learn to draw. If you have a strong desire, then everything will turn out. Of course you will not start painting masterpieces of world art, but you easily could draw a landscape or a picture for child. There is nothing complicated in drawing, it’s just like, for example, driving a car. No one is born with the ability to drive, but to learn this gradually, each time more and more improving their skills. The same is with drawing. If you systematically train, then in time you will be able to draw whole pictures, which now only live in your imagination.

I offer you a series of lessons, starting from the very first and simple steps in drawing and finishing with more complex ones. This is a course of drawing from mediocrity to a professional. And in a few weeks you will be able to draw masterpieces yourself. Well, ok, maybe not masterpieces, but you will learn how to paint beautifully :)

So, let's start! Lesson #1.

The first lesson is very easy and even a child can cope with it. In order to learn how to draw, you first need to learn how to ‘hold a pencil’, you must get used to the pencil. I mean you need to take a pencil in your hand and start drawing ordinary figures, for example circles or other simple figures like squares, triangles or just plain lines. This method will help to train your hand, to accustom it to the pencil. The main thing is to draw a lot, draw every day.

Do not strain your hand very strongly when draw, relax it, imagine that pencil is the continuation of your hand.
