Questions and answers

What can I draw for Dad with a pencil?

Dad with his child, a kid on dad's shoulders or an animal dad with his cub. For something simpler, start with the polka dot tie, the mustache mug or the card with a heart.

How do I draw a dad and child the easy way?

Start with two ovals for the heads, a bigger one for Dad and a smaller one for the child. Add simple bodies, hands holding each other and hair. Draw the faces with dots and curves to keep them friendly.

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.
