Step 1. Paper Orientation: Place the paper in the landscape position.
Step 2. Trace Geometric Shapes: Use a marker to trace geometric shapes to properly position the subject (foreground) within the available space (background).
Step 3. Sketch with Organic Shapes: Use organic shapes to add forms and areas that better resemble the subject we are going to draw and paint about.
Step 3. If Necessary, Erase and Sketch Again: Use an eraser to carefully eliminate lines that are no longer necessary or lines that are not properly representing the subject matter. Softly sketch again or retrace until you are happy with the structure or basic forms and shapes that will later need to be colored or painted.
Step 4. Darken Up: Use darker lines or color to identify the shapes and forms that better represent the subject matter.

Make sure you use strokes that go along with the anatomical sections of the subject and the background. Add mid tone values first, then dark tone shades. Highlights will always be the last set of tones, value and shades that you will add to any section.
