The Slow Pencil Tracing Sheets

The quickest way to get a drawing into your hand: trace it first, then draw it again on your own.

The Slow Pencil Tracing Sheets are 25 full-page drawings of the subjects in your drawing books. Lay a sheet of printer paper on top and follow the bold lines. Your hand learns the shapes, the proportions and where each line goes. Then put the sheet away and try it freehand.

What's inside (25 drawings, 5 for each book):

• Volumes & Topiary — box ball in a pot, spiral topiary, cone topiary, standard tree in a pot, climbing rose on an obelisk.
• Trees — the oak, the pine, the birch, the weeping willow, the bare winter tree.
• Flowers & Grasses — daisy, sunflower, tulips, rose, poppies.
• Water — the post in the water, the tree by the pond, the boat and its reflection, the stream over the stones, the little waterfall.
• Landscape & People — the cottage and the path, the fence across the field, the village street, the walking figure, the walk with the dog.

Every drawing has two kinds of line: bold outlines to trace first, and fine details to add when you're ready. Print the same page as many times as you like.
