The horizontal and vertical dashed lines running through the center of the page on Cute Things to Draw are helpful to beginner artists. By drawing their own center lines on blank paper before starting, learning artists have a guide to follow as they draw.
Getting the right size and placement of lines on the page provides visual reference points that help improve accuracy. To create these guides on their own page, students can simply fold their paper in half both vertically and horizontally, slightly creasing it, then unfold. Once the drawing is finished and colored, the creases will not be noticeable.
