Frequently asked questions

How many steps are in this drawing?
There are 18 guided parts. Some parts have more than one line: finish each line, lift your pen, then follow the next guide.
How do I get the long neck right?
Draw the back of the neck as one long curve from the head down to the back, then the front of the neck beside it. Keeping the two lines close together makes the neck look tall and thin.
