It is easy to start drawing and homing your fine motor skills. We are going to draw an apple as an exercise in classical drawing, all you need is a pencil and paper, eraser and pencil sharpener.
Making a classical drawing is good exercise to hone your fine motor skills, memory and powers of observation. This will benefit you in any other art projects you might have planned.
Get yourself an apple and join me in my studio as I show you my favorite tools, explain a bit about how to hold a pencil, about line and shading and I will be thinking aloud as I draw.
Share your own drawing and ask me any questions you like.
I am looking forward to see your projects!
