Advice
- Stay light with the pencil so you can easily erase mistakes.
- If you want to color your drawing with markers or watercolors, use a rather thick sheet of paper and before coloring, go over the pencil strokes to darken them.
- Outlining the important parts of the mouse or object you drew is important to show that you have done a thorough job. (Especially in case you have had to change shapes or sizes.)
