Look for the gesture
Fill a page with loose curved lines. Let each one travel in a different direction.
FOUNDATION LESSON
Draw a leaf
Build organic forms with one simple center line.
Artist habit: Start lightly. Your first lines are a map, not a commitment.

- One sheet of paper
- Permission to make messy lines
USE THESE EVERY TIME
Three drawing superpowers
Shape first
See circles, boxes, curves, and angles before you chase details.
Light to dark
Sketch gently, then strengthen only the lines you want to keep.
Compare, don’t guess
Ask “how long?” and “what angle?” before every important mark.
