It’s simply a question of having someone show you what to do and then practicing so you improve.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://emptyeasel.com/2008/07/01/learning-to-draw-the-one-drawing-skill-every-beginning-artist-needs/"><P>In today’s lesson we’re going to start with the most basic drawing skill that EVERY artist needs to learn. All you’ll need for this tutorial are some pieces of paper and a pencil, no other fancy supplies. Inexpensive computer printer paper and a plain old number two pencil will do just fine.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://emptyeasel.com/2008/07/01/learning-to-draw-the-one-drawing-skill-every-beginning-artist-needs/"><P>Ready?

It is NOT a test—that’s a scary word that implies success or failure. What I want you to do is draw the example illustration you see below.
