Pastel Pets
Join Megan and her furry friend, Pheffer, and create a pastel drawing of your favorite furry animal.
You'll grid your reference image and drawing paper into squares so you can be sure to get the scale of your drawing just right.
Start by sketching out the outline of your image. Next, color-block where you think each color should go in your drawing. Use your fingers to smooth and blend the colors for your unique look. Don't be afraid to go back over your blended areas and add details.
