🖍️ Tools For Success

  • Paper (Our Free How To Draw Template PDF)
  • Pencil
  • Polymer Eraser
  • Outline Markers
  • Coloring Tools (I recommend Crayola's 140 Piece Coloring Case)

🎨 Parents:The only tools you need to use these how-to-draw tutorials are: an eraser, a pencil, and a piece of paper. But – if you have them around – a sketching pencil makes for fainter and softer lines that help kids build fine motor accuracy. I also recommend going over the sketch pencil with a black outline marker when you're done for a neater finish. Lastly, erase the pencil marks before adding color.
