How can I start drawing if I have never tried?
You will learn gentle first steps to enjoy simple drawing.
Anyone can learn to draw. You do not need talent to start. A pencil and paper are all you need.
Begin with simple shapes like circles and lines. Draw what is in front of you, like a cup. Practice a little each day, and you will improve.
Do not judge your early work too hard. Every artist starts with messy first tries. Drawing is meant to be calm and fun.

- Warm up by drawing circles and straight lines.
- Pick one simple object to copy.
- Draw slowly and do not erase much.
- Try again tomorrow with a new object.
