Tips

  • Use a pencil most of the time so you can erase your mistakes.
  • Keep on practicing, you'll get better and better the more you do so.
  • Coloring your picture always makes it look better. Markers and colored pencils really make things look nice...so do slender crayons.
  • Try shading after you finish.
  • When doing the sketch, do it lightly so the marks don't stay. You could always go over the lines later.
  • If you don't have the same colors, don't worry. Any colors can work. Even purple!

Warnings

  • Don't worry if you mess up. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
