Leonardo da Vinci, Study for the “Virgin of the Rocks”, 1483.
Today you can use any subject that you find of interest. Some people prefer to draw still life objects and others might prefer drawing a face. In this drawing, focus on how you use lines. Use a middle range pencil such as HB or 2H and use a light pressure to draw the first light lines of the outline. Look at the placement of light and shadow and make marks similar to the ones shown above. You can use a softer pencil in the B range to finish the drawing with darker marks. Like Leonardo, keep the darkest marks to the center of the picture and lighter marks at the edges of the picture.
