To draw well, you need to develop five interconnected skills that cover how you see and how you mark the page.

• Line and contour: contour drawing trains your eye to follow edges closely and translate them onto paper.
• Shape and proportion: seeing shapes first keeps your drawing accurate and saves you from erasing later.
• Tone and shading: techniques like hatching, cross-hatching and blending create a full range of tones.
• Perspective: perspective lets you show depth on a flat surface, making objects appear closer or farther away.
• Composition: a strong composition turns a collection of objects into a unified piece of art.

Working with a tutor speeds up progress because they correct habits before they become ingrained.
