Questions and answers
What can I draw for Mom with a pencil?
A mom with her child, a family holding hands or an animal mom with her baby. For something simpler, start with tulips in a vase, hands making a heart or a gift with a bow.
How do I draw a mom and child the easy way?
Start with two ovals for the heads, a bigger one for Mom and a smaller one for the child. Add simple bodies, hugging arms and hair. Draw the faces with dots and curves to keep them cute.
Which pencil should I use?
A regular HB pencil is good for the outline because its lines are light and easy to erase. Use a soft 2B for shadows and clean up extra lines with an eraser.
