Step 1. Preparation Hello, welcome to the course. For your drawing to achieve a likeness to the original photo accuracy will be necessary. To help get the accuracy we will make our drawing to a large size, probably bigger than the desired finished print, but this can be reduced as it is photocopied. I suggest you draw on 11" x 17" photocopy paper. If you have a choice choose a photograph that is sharp rather than fuzzy. The clearer the photograph the better chance you have of a good result. Pens. You need the following new pens: 1. A black 'Pilot' Precise Rolling Ball - Extra Fine. Cost about $1.30 2. A black 'Paper-Mate' Flair - Felt Tip Pen. Cost about $1.20 3. A black broard tip Magic Marker (Stanford Hi Impact is ideal - pack of 3 for $1.94) It's best to have a spare of each, they can run out at any time, usually around midnight. You also need a blue pencil (that's one with a blue lead - blue doesn't photocopy) and a regular HB grade pencil. Paper - get a few sheets of 11" x 17" regular photocopy paper. Photo copy shops will sell single sheets. You need to draw on an inclined board. Even a sheet of Masonite will do. If you have a tee-square, and setsquare it's a help, but it's not essential. We are now ready to start!     This concludes Step 1. Preparation
