Have you ever tried to draw holding two pencils together? It is fun to see what queer pictures you make. If the pencils slip, put an elastic band around them.- Draw a circle and you will have two. Try writing your name. If you have crayon pencils, you will be able to make two color drawings by mixing the colors together.

The best way to draw circles is to use a compass. You can make your own with a pencil and a piece of string. Just tie one end of the string around the pencil, and holding the other end of the string by a finger of the other hand, pressing down with it in the center of the circle, swing the pencil around. Keep the string stretched tight. The circle will vary in width by changing the length of the string.

Lets Draw Faces

eyes

noses

mouths

shapes of faces

put these together and draw some faces

Use a piece of tracing paper-thin tissue paper: first draw the shape of the face; then pick out the eyes to go with it; next a nose that will look right for the shape of the face; and last of all the mouth. Be sure the eyes suit the mouth-sad eyes do not go with a happy mouth.

How To Enlarge Your Drawing

If you want to enlarge, or make smaller, a picture you have drawn, this is the way to do it:

Mark your picture off in squares. (If you do not want to mark on the picture, lay a piece of tracing paper over it, copy the picture, and then make the squares-all on the tracing paper.) Then mark off squares on another paper-if you are decreasing the size of your picture, make these squares smaller; if you want to enlarge the picture, draw bigger squares. In each square draw the same lines that are in a like square of the original picture. When your whole drawing is finished, trace the picture-without the squares, and copy it on a clean sheet.

How To Make A Stencil

Draw your design on a sheet of very heavy paper, then cut out the outline, and you will have a stencil.

If you are going to paint the stencil with more than one color, each colored section should be separated from the rest. That is, in a flower, separate the stem from the blossom and leaves.

Stencils for paint work should be painted with shellac, or wax, so the paper will not soak up the paint and blot it on your picture. Hold a lighted candle over the cut edges of the outline, and let the wax drip on the stencil. -If you prefer to give it a coat of shellac, hang the stencil to something while it dries. (Or the top edge can be pinned to the edge of a table.)
