1) Sketching skills are an important part of the painting process, especially for beginners. They help you determine composition and proportions before adding color. However, it's not always necessary to sketch with a pencil first. Some experienced artists often draw or outline directly with a brush because they are used to controlling proportions and lines without needing a preliminary sketch. Using a pencil outline can be helpful when you want an accurate drawing and need time to correct any mistakes before moving on to painting. But if you're confident in your brush skills, you can skip the pencil and go straight to watercolor paper. This gives the artwork a more natural look without leaving any pencil marks behind. 2) Starting with a pencil is a safe method for beginners, giving you time to get comfortable with proportions and layout. Once you feel confident with sketching and how to use a brush, you can try painting directly without using a pencil. The timing of switching from pencil to brush depends on how comfortable you are with both tools.
