Questions and answers
What should I draw in pencil when I am bored?
Try a donut, a mug of cocoa or a cactus in a pot, since they are made of circles and ovals. Once that works, move on to the backpack or the sneaker, which have more details.
How do I copy a pencil drawing neatly?
Sketch the overall shape first with light lines, without pressing hard. Then add the details, trace the outline with more pressure and erase the extra lines.
Which pencil is best for copying drawings?
An HB pencil is good for sketching because it erases easily. For dark outlines and shading, use a softer 2B.
