Understanding the Drawing Guide
Our guide consists of 23 clear steps. But first, let’s decipher the color-coding system:
- Red Color: Represents the current step you should focus on.
- Black Color: Showcases the lines drawn in previous steps.
- Grey Color: Denotes the basic sketch, drawn with light strokes for proportion purposes.
Starting with a basic sketch ensures you have the correct proportions, and using light strokes is pivotal at this stage. By the end of this guide, you’ll have the option to ink your drawing. If you do, remember to wait until the ink dries thoroughly before erasing the pencil sketch, ensuring a clean and professional finish.
