As a beginner, the materials you use to draw are irrelevant, until you get to the higher levels. Honestly, I've done 90% of my drawing with just a standard commodity HB or #2 graphite pencil and various pens on scratch paper. If you're intent on going digital, I've had good experiences with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, their graphics input and rendering is extremely low-latency so it feels like drawing on paper. But you can start with any pressure-sensitive tablet and stylus. Drawing is all about perceiving angles and distances more accurately, improving your eye-hand coordination, and lots of practice. Start by practicing the basic forms: - cubes - triangular prisms - spheres - cylinders Then start noticing that most objects consist of some combination of these shapes. Identify how you would subdivide an object you see into these shapes. Perhaps learn about the theory of 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional perspective: https://www.artistsnetwork.com/art-mediums/learn-to-draw-perspective/ https://www.artistsnetwork.com/art-mediums/learn-to-draw-per... Next learn about value (light-dark) and start cross-hatching or shading your works. A good exercise is to draw a value scale: 10 squares in a row, ranging from pitch black to completely white. Make each square as uniform in color as possible, and the transitions from black to white as uniform as possible using only fine cross-hatching: https://www.thedrawingsource.com/value-scale.html https://www.thedrawingsource.com/value-scale.html Next draw a sphere, paying attention to lighting: https://www.thedrawingsource.com/shading-a-sphere.html https://www.thedrawingsource.com/shading-a-sphere.html At this point, it's just a matter of practice. Carry your tablet or a sketchbook everywhere and just draw on a regular basis and ask artists for feedback (post on https://www.reddit.com/r/learntodraw/ https://www.reddit.com/r/learntodraw/, there are people there who will help you). A good introductory book is How to Draw What You See: http://carlosdamascenodesenhos.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/How-to-draw-what-you-see_by_blixer.pdf http://carlosdamascenodesenhos.com.br/wp-content/uploads/201... Wish you all the best on your drawing journey, it's a very rewarding art, but requires a lot of practice and patience to get good at it!
