  • Drawing to music

    Artist Dale Berning demonstrates drawing to music, in a lesson from the Guardian and Observer guides to drawing and painting.

  • Step by step

    This supplement will show you a way to draw animals. You need not start with the first illustration. Choose whichever you wish. When you have chosen, follow the step-by-step method shown. Very lightly and carefully, sketch out step number one. However, this step, which is the easiest, should be done most carefully. Step number two is added on top of step number one, also lightly and also very carefully. Step number three is sketched right on top of numbers one and two. Continue in this way to the last step. It may seem strange to ask you to be extra careful when you are drawing what seem to be the easiest first steps, but this is most important because a careless mistake at the beginning may spoil the whole picture at the end. As you sketch out each step, watch the spaces between the lines, as well as the lines themselves, and see that they are the same. After each step, you may want to lighten your work by pressing it with a plastic, or "putty", rubber (available at art supply shops).
