Merrill Kazanjian Collection: Step By Step Drawing- Beginner Level
The most popular series of videos on my Youtube channel (kazanjianm) is my step by step drawing series. These videos are aimed at beginner artists, and the step by step instruction allows me to model how I break down an image (in to shapes) and then shade.

Do not stress if your drawing does not look exactly like mine. In portraiture, you need a likeness, but you don`t need to be as exact when drawing a flower.</td> </tr> <tr> <td><img src=`https://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/s720x720/304550_2173499789907_1619167147_32100761_1404872105_n.jpg` alt=`` width=`720` height=`405` /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Step 7: The same rule applies with step seven.

Each colored pencil features a thick, soft core made from brilliant, light-resistant pigments, to ensure smooth, rich laydown and color saturation. The colors are easily blended, slow to wear, break-resistant, and waterproof. Each 3.8 mm core is enclosed in a round cedar casing that is lacquered to match the core. Choose from a variety of sets — or replenish your favorites with the individual colored pencils listed below. Set contents are listed on the Item Specs tab of this page. Note — Set contents may occasionally vary from the colors listed. Note — Manual sharpening is recommended for these pencils. Clogging can be prevented in electric sharpeners by periodically sharpening a graphite pencil to keep the blades clean.</span></p> <hr /><input type=`hidden` name=`pid` value=`3724826` /> <input type=`hidden` name=`aid` value=`10495307` /> <input type=`hidden` name=`cjsku` value=`20508-2409` /> <input type=`hidden` name=`sid` value=`2858963` /> <input type=`hidden` name=`url` value=`https://www.dickblick.com/products/prismacolor-colored-pencils/?wmcp=cj&wmcid=feeds&wmckw=20508-2409` /> <input type=`submit` value=`Buy` /></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </form><img src=`https://www.lduhtrp.net/image-3724826-10495307` alt=`` width=`1` height=`1` border=`0` /></td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table>](http://iown.website/bx/_files/113images/art_large/dsc08826.jpg)
