Plus, these lines are easy to erase.<\/li>\n<li><strong>An HB pencil:<\/strong> This type of pencil has a medium-hard lead, so it leaves a moderately dark trace. They\u2019re the best choice when adding light shading to your sketch.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A B pencil:<\/strong> The softest lead of the three, this pencil is your best friend for shading your drawing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A kneaded eraser:<\/strong> Easily stretched and shaped to your needs, a kneaded eraser is just what you need to get rid of unnecessary lines. You can also use this eraser to highlight parts of your drawing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lightly sketched paper:<\/strong> The smooth surface of this paper ensures your pencil glides over it. It\u2019s also easier to erase lines when the paper isn\u2019t heavily textured.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Grab all of the tools above, or simply opt for your favorite pencil and start sketching!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"mceNonEditable cta-custom\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/biowars\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Follow us on Instagram for more drawing tips and the latest BIOWARS updates!<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>How To Draw A Rose Easy In 6 Steps<\/h2>\n<p>In our guide to drawing a rose, we\u2019ll show you how to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Draw the flower\u2019s core<\/li>\n<li>Add the petals<\/li>\n<li>Draw the sepal<\/li>\n<li>Shade the rose<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The key to learning how to draw a rose (and pretty much everything else) is to break it into basic shapes.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s exactly what we\u2019re going to do.<\/p>\n<h3>1.
