Whether you're picking up a pencil for the first time or expanding your artistic skills, here's how to get started with drawing and creative arts in Lithuania.

1

Gather Basic Materials

You don't need expensive supplies to start. A sketchbook, pencils (HB, 2B, 4B), an eraser, and a sharpener are enough. Add watercolors or colored pencils once you've found your preferred medium.

2

Learn Fundamental Techniques

Start with sketching basics: proportion, shading, perspective, and line control. Spend time on each technique before moving forward. Consistency matters more than speed.
