Step by step drawing

How to follow a step-by-step drawing

1. 1

   Look at the whole step first

   Notice where the red lines sit compared to the black ones: touching the head, halfway down, under the chin. Position matters more than neatness.

2. 2

   Draw light

   Guide shapes are dashed and light in the picture; draw them that way too, so they rub out later.

3. 3

   Tick the step

   Each step card ticks as you scroll past it (or tap the number). It is a small thing, but it keeps a child moving.

4. 4

   Go bold at the end

   When all the steps are done, go over the real lines with a marker, rub out the guides and colour it in.
