Over keep these things in mind:

1. Start in pencil so you can erase unwanted lines.

2. Have an image of what you want to draw in front of you as a reference.

3. Break down a complex object into simple shapes to help create the image you want.

4. Use light pressure to start,  it is easier to make your drawing darker than to try and make it lighter.

Have fun, pursue excellence!
