You should start from drawing which refers to graphic materials. Use simple pencils, sanguine, ink. For drawings the tight, hard and smooth paper fits. The first stages might be simple: you can take the nearest simple objects. It could be an apple, a box, a cup, a kettle. Do not choose transparent materials, complex shapes or objects with textures. For example, a faceted glass has a textured surface. It is good to choose items similar to elementary geometric shapes such as a cylinder, ball and cube. Learn to place figures on a sheet, put light and shadow, make hatching . Try to paint every day at least a little, but regularly. The first works should focus on finding the right shape, the right intensity of shade and color, gradation of tone. The tone consists of several elements: the brightest is a glare, after a penumbra, shadow, reflex and its own shadow go. Try to capture the relationship between all these elements, compare them among themselves. After monochrome exercises you can move on to painting and colored materials. Remember that painting is more difficult than monochrome drawing, because color is added to light and shadow.
