It is always important to see what you're drawing. Don't just try to draw from memory because you'll end up with something that is not very accurate. It will look more like a "symbol" rather than being realistic. So... I chose to have her do a still life pencil drawing of an apple.
To do the still life I took her step by step through the drawing process. We looked at the contour, the shapes made from shadows and highlights, texture, etc. She used a #2B drawing pencil, blending stick, and kneaded eraser.
Keep in mind that Sydney is only 9 years old! I am so proud of her! This is awesomeness!!
Sydney working on her parrot...this is a drawing that
I'm doing step by step with her. When it is finished I'll post it.
So focused!
Happy Drawing!
