In the first section I have reproduced the way
in which I help people to draw more effectively.
The level is higher than you need for copying the drawings in this book However, I have

1 to make an object more recognisable if the shape is rather ordinary, for example, an
o r a n g e ;
2 to direct attention to something, particularly
if it is small within a picture, for example, one person giving another a present The people could be drawn in black line and the present in a colour;
3 to express feelings and to make the picture look nice!

The head and body are equal in length to the length of the legs.

Trang 36-On page 37 I have drawn one of the pictures
of the street in perspective in order to
demonstrate that there is no particular gain.
If you draw flatly across the picture all the
line For example, draw all the stickpeople with
a thick line and the background with a thin line.
Another way of separating people away from
the background is to draw them as solid people
