Drawing tips for kids
✏️ Draw lightly first Use a pencil and press softly — light lines are easy to rub out.
🔍 Look at the orange lines Each step adds only the orange lines. Everything grey is already on your paper.
🔵 Start with big shapes Circles, ovals and triangles first; small details like eyes and whiskers last.
🎨 Colour it in Go over the final lines with a dark pencil or pen, then colour your picture any way you like.
