Drawing for the scared stiff beginner!

I am teaching some 'stickman' and scared stiff' students how to draw! Two of them have never taken an art course and after a bit of a pep talk they found out drawing isn't what they thought it was and it's a whole lot of fun! Now they are the first ones coming early to class! This is the FIRST PROJECT-Lemons and Pears

Five Hidden Talent Drawing Tips!

1. Sharpen your pencil the right way....with a razor so more of the graphuite is exposed and you can lay down broad strokes.
2. Hold you pencil correctly.....like a wand or a baton. This allows greater arm and wrist movement.
3. Have a good grade of drawing paper, not photocopying paper!
4. Find you ultimate eraser- There are so many great ones out there, don't settle for the one at the end of the pencil.
5. Come with an open mind! Like most things in art, it isn't what you thought it was going to be like!

Remeber that drawing is accurate measurements and angles...period!
