If you’d like, get a set of graphite pencils with different hardnesses so you can experiment.For instance, you might try filling a page with two-dimensional shapes such as circles, squares, or triangles. After you get comfortable with lines and curves, try drawing shapes.Try wavy lines, zig-zag lines, and tangled, scribbly lines. Practice drawing lines of different lengths, thicknesses, and textures.This will help you build up your coordination on the page. Try making a series of big loops on the paper, then draw tiny swirls below that.

Once you feel comfortable drawing a straight line, practice rotating your wrist as you draw to create a curve. Normally, it is easier to draw a straight line when you use your whole arm, not just the wrist.

It’s harder than it looks! Practice holding your hand at different angles to see what feels best. If you're just learning to draw, start by dragging the pencil over the page in a straight line.
