How to use these drawing tutorials
Keep the first lines light
Build the large shapes before adding detail. Light construction marks are easier to adjust when you compare proportions.
Pause after each step
Look at the newest illustration and compare it with your page. Correct the shape before moving to the next part.
Try it once more
Repeat the subject without tracing. Pick one feature to change, such as the petal spacing or the width of the head.
