Frequently asked questions

Which pencil is best to use?
Start with a graphite pencil and don't press too hard, so you can easily erase the guide lines later.
What if my circles aren't perfectly round?
That doesn't matter at all, real dogs aren't perfectly round either!
How do I color the shepherd?
Use brown and black colors, as those are the real colors of a German Shepherd.
Is this drawing lesson difficult?
Not at all, we use simple shapes so that everyone can learn it.
