ATC - Carol's Drawing Club Oct.'08 Exchange
Each art journey is traveled a step at a time. It's never too late to start walking the path of art. Just follow your heart, pick up a pencil, and draw!

Why Pencil Drawing?

Drawing is simple but very expressive. When you draw, you feel rooted and happy, and that's a lovely place to be, and all you need to make lovely art is a pencil, paper, and a perch.

Look around! There are many online step by step drawing lessons here.

Start with this video and lessons if you're new to drawing.
