1. Make sure the the size of the paper you are using has the same proportions as the image you are replicating. If you have a rectangular piece of paper, and try to copy a square shaped drawing, its going to come out skewed, and will be a very frustrating experience. An easy way to check is the line up your pencil from corner to corner, and make sure that both the image and your paper have the same angle. On the example drawing you can see that I drew a line from corner to corner to make sure that it was the same. This simple guideline is very important!
Sometimes the beginning stages of a drawing look very messy. This is ok. It might look like a mess to anyone who looks at it, but it just has to make sense to you. We can erase all the guidelines and extras later. No one will ever know!
2. As will the Still Life Drawing the first thing to do is block in the biggest shapes.
3. Proceed to shading.
