When you begin your drawing, you’ll notice that I start with some basic lines and shapes. This is a fun way to lay the groundwork for your artwork! After I’ve sketched out the outlines, I leave the coloring for later. Remember, while I’ll share my color choices, you have the freedom to choose whatever colors you like!
