BedTime Rhyme

----

"early to bed... early to rise.. makes u healthy wealthy and wise!!"

Of Paper & Pencils
================

This is one of the initial few sketches that I made... in the year 2000 if I am not wrong, in my 10th standard.. From then on.. I just started loving doing pencil sketches..

How to make

Req: 1B, 2B, 4B Pencils, MicroTip Pencil, Eraser, Plain Paper

Trace a rough outline on the paper with 1B pencil, and give strokes and shades of different tones based on picture lighting. Work upward down. Use eraser where needed to remove strokes and enhance the lighter tone.

Time: 2-2.5 hrs
