STEP 1 Start Moving the Pencil

Put an HB pencil to the paper and start moving it, following the contours of the subject without lifting the pencil from the paper.

STEP 2 Continue the Pencil Movement

Keep moving the pencil so that the sketch is formed with a single line.

STEP 3 Finish Up

Keep moving the pencil until the sketch is complete.

Combining Approaches

You can combine some of the different approaches to achieve a more finished drawing. For instance, start with a structural line sketch and then add values.

A light box is a device that allows you to see the structural lines for a drawing without having to draw them on the artwork itself. First, create a structural sketch of your subject. Place the structural sketch on the light box, then tape a piece of drawing paper to the structural line sketch. The image will be visible through the drawing paper to provide a foundation for your value, black-and-white and contour drawings.
