Begin your drawing

Watch your reference points to be the "guide" This means, question yourself as to exactly (within each block) what goes where, and how does each line‚ relate to another.

Tip: with one eye closed, you can hold your pencil to a particular line on the photo and this will show you exactly the position of that line.

Take the drawing to a mirror to examine it with a critical eye.When drawing is completed to your satisfaction, WET the entire paper using a very wet SEA SPONGE.

Let it dry naturally. Whenever possible, overnight is good.

When drawing lines and guide lines are light enough, there should be no need to erase them.
