You may want to start off with pencils- they are some of the best tools you can buy for drawing-- especially for beginners. You can find them at any craft store.

There are different kinds of 'lead'- thickness and a range of 'harness' Those pencils that have an "H" on them are lighter. Those with a "B" are darker.

I also suggest a kneaded rubber eraser- it's like Silly Putty. It will take away smudges and help with erasing.

You will also need a good eraser- the pink erasers are good as is a gum eraser.

Be sure to buy a good pencil sharpener and a sketch pad.
There items called 'blending stumps' that will help with shading.

If you can afford it get a kit. I am including a link to a nice kit that you can buy at Michael's. If you're serious about learning to draw and draw well, these are good tools to start with.

If you live near a college or university or a place that offers continuing education (like a community center), check into their drawing classes. Many will take beginners and the teachers will show you the right way to do things...

Good Luck. I love to draw. I wish I had more time to devote to it.

I have an old picture with 3 yellow dots how can i seal it?

The picture is 70 years old and the glass broke during a move and I'm planning to re seal the glass but i cant right now I'm wondering ways i can seal it and make it last longer can i use seramic wrap thank you.

I personally tend to think that they actually do hate things.

'Hate' is an ego-mind thought-pattern ... and it's also a very big trap. Once the "I hate this" neural pathway gets started, it can grow into a person's main thought-pattern. An example of how it progresses :

~ I hate school
~ I hate college
~ I hate my job
~ I hate my entire life

Hence, I don't think it is most often used to make others mad.
Hate is all about the person who thinks in terms of hate.

However, I can amend my answer by pointing out the old phrase :

"Misery loves company."
