      Practice, practice, practice. I find at first my shapes are so awkward and not pleasing at all. But the more you practice, the more you get a feel and eye for it. It's all about feel and that comes in doing.

Adults can hold their pencils any way that is comfortable and it isn't wrong. I promise: you don't have to fret over my little one learning to hold a pencil...I am teaching her just fine. ☺️

    I find that in order for me to really draw leaves, I had to actually see what they look like or else I feel like I'm just copying what you're doing. I wound up googling leaves of various trees, then making a large sketch and then miniaturizing it and this is really helping. In this way I see my own style developing. Thank you for this beginning guide. Its forced me to stretch my vision and skills in the right direction.

I love that when you let go of the supplies you actually found yourself making more! I tell people all the time, you don't need much more than a pencil... Best wishes to you and your family!
