While I’m searching was thinking how silly thing this is I’m searching but look someone made a video about my need of learning how to draw lines correctly. I appreciated 🙏

[@cmonaco577]

Amazing how a few simple lines can turn into a wonderful abstract. Thanks, Emily. 🙂

[@sabinak4983]

Thank you for this episode. Looking for the next one!

[@ThePencilRoomOnline]

Coming soon :)

[@DrawingSources-wm9zu]

thank you for the video, how many exercises and time do you recommend for a warm up?

[@ThePencilRoomOnline]

Good question and it really depends on how much time you have so it will be different for everyone. If you have other drawings to do then I'd suggest 10-15 minutes warm up beforehand. The warm up could either be working on skills like in this video (just do what you can in 15 minutes) or the warm up could be doing a quick practice sketch of whatever you are drawing.

I am very thankful for your wonderful effort. I desperately need to learn how to draw the right way. Please continue with us🌹🌹🌹

[@cmonaco577]

Lots of paper turning. 😄😄

[@ThePencilRoomOnline]

Yes! Unfortunately for me I have to keep my workbook still for the filming! It is a good exercise in itself though, to try drawing lines at different angles without turning your page as then you have to learn to move your pencil in a different way 😊

[@cmonaco577]

Thanks for the tip. I will try your suggestion today.
