You may be wondering why you should even sketch in the first place.

Have you ever heard someone say that when you're writing a first draft, you shouldn't worry about spelling and grammar errors? That the first draft is just for getting your thoughts out?

The same concept applies to sketching.

Sketching your ideas is the first step in the design process, and is something that every artist should do.

When you sketch, it doesn't have to be perfect. The purpose of your sketches is to get your ideas out quickly.

Don't worry about erasing, or trying to make sure that everything is just right.

Your main focus should be getting your ideas out uninterrupted.

Easy Sketch Ideas Beginners Can Draw

Check out this collection of sketch ideas that are beginner-friendly. There are even some step-by-step tutorials.

Baby Turtle

If you're looking for a cute drawing of an animal, check out this adorable baby turtle drawing.

This drawing has a bit more detail, but it's still very beginner friendly.

One of my favorite easy drawing books is The Drawing Book for Kids: 365 Daily Things to Draw: Step by Step.

Even though this book was created for kids, it was really helpful in teaching me how to draw animals and more.

Little Shark

If you're looking for a beginner friendly drawing, it can't get any easier than this drawing of a shark.

If you have kids, this is a very kid friendly drawing too.

I love drawing simple images like this. I find it to be so relaxing and fun.

I use a Sharpie Fine Point pen for drawings like this. I first draw lightly in pencil, then I trace over it with the Sharpie.

Baby Alligator

How adorable is this drawing of a baby alligator?

I love how you see the drawing from two different angles. I find that to be so helpful for beginners.

Choosing Your Pencils

Before you begin your drawing, it's important that you choose the right pencil.

If you're new to sketching and aren't sure what pencil grade to start with, I recommend starting your sketch with a pencil on the H scale.

You can finish off your drawing with a darker pencil grade, such as a pencil on the B scale.

How to Draw a Pumpkin

When fall rolls around, you'll probably find yourself wanting to draw a pumpkin. Especially if you have a bullet journal.

This tutorial shows you how to draw a pumpkin step-by-step.

I think this would look great if it were colored in with watercolor. I love to use this watercolor paint for my art.

Try Not to Smudge

If you can, avoid smudging your drawing. You can place a piece of paper underneath your hand to minimize how much your hand smudges your drawing.

This will help ensure you have a clean looking drawing once it's complete.

Remember, you can use smudging to your advantage to smooth out your shading.

How to Draw Realistic Eyes

Use a Blending Stump

It can be difficult to get a good blend with pencils. However, you can create a smooth bleeding effect by using a blending stump.

Blending stumps are great for smudging graphite and charcoal.

Small Camping Area

Here's another drawing of a camping area. This one has slightly less details and is perfect for drawing newbies.

I think simple drawings like this make great gifts to friends or family.

For example, you could draw something like this on a handmade greeting card.

How to Draw a Nose

Drawing a nose can be a challenge for some; however, this tutorial shows you how to draw the easiest nose ever.

This is such a great tutorial for new artists looking to draw a simple nose on a character.

Nose Studies

This isn't a tutorial exactly, but it shows you how different shaped noses look from the front view, side view, and at an angle.

Don't Blend with Your Fingers

Once it's time to blend, try not to blend with your fingers.

When you blend with your fingers, the oils from your skin will transfer to the paper and may affect the look of your drawing.

Again, I recommend blending stumps for blending your work.

How to Draw a Diamond

I love how simple this picture breaks down the steps it takes to drawing a diamond.

It's actually a lot easier than the final step looks. Simple draw one line at a time, and you'll have a stunning diamond.

Practice Sketching Daily

If you want to get better at sketching, the best thing you can do is practice daily.

I recommend setting aside an hour every day to sketch. Don't worry about your work being perfect. It will get better naturally the more you practice.

Fingers Touching

If you'd like to practice drawing hands, you can use this picture of two hands touching as your reference.

I love this drawing of flowers in a light bulb. After finishing this sketch, it would look great hanging up on your wall.
