Now it's your turn to try it. You've already done the stick figures before haven't you? If not go back and do them. Stick figures are important the they will help you for this lesson.

STEP 1: Start off with the basic shapes as above. Don't worry about the next steps as this will come later. It doesn't matter how your initial drawings look just try and get the shapes nice and in proportion.

STEP 2: Fill in a bit more detail. The home study course has many more examples but we can't show you everything here so you'll need to just follow this example. Once you've added the outlines of the body you can move on.

IMPORTANT: Make sure you use very loose strokes with your pencil. We provide Artists pens for you but if you don't have these then any pencil will do now. Do it gently and be patient.

STEP 3: Add more detail and fill in the lines that you like. Don't be afraid of making mistakes it's all part of the process and you will get better.

The Arms to the right are just an example of the guidelines you can use.
