How to sketch - step by step
- Sketch a circle loosely. Don't worry if your lines are not great. Remember that you're going to work in layers.
- Refine the shape. Find the areas that need improvement and sketch over until you get closer to your desired result.
- Keep repeating until you get closer to what you want. Rotate the sketch to help your eyes look at the shape from a different angle.
