Working lines are one of the approaches outlined in these phases. These are the basic lines and forms that will be utilized to define some parameters when refining and adding detail to the image. They will be erased after you finish your picture, so draw them very lightlyâonly dark enough to see while you work. While the working lines do not need to be accurate, if you are a novice, it may be beneficial to utilize some basic tools, such as a ruler for straight lines, a protractor for angles, or a compass for circles.

This brief seminar on sketching a horse's legs and feet comes from my own blog. Because this is frequently the most difficult portion of the horse to draw, I illustrate it every step of the way. I also demonstrate how to utilize the grid approach, which is my preferred method for all portrait work and most other difficult drawings. Now for some vids!
Eraser. Larger ones that you can hold in your hand perform much better than pencil tips alone. Sharpie Marker in black. These fine point permanent marker pens produce great black outlines, have a good coloring tip, and never bleed when wet. Use these with caution and additional paper below to protect your tables.
