A clear demonstration shows how to build up the shape and form of the object (in this case a flower) using line and then tone. The video can be used as the basis of a classroom lesson or alternatively could be sent to students who are currently in lock-down and having to do distance learning. It is quite useful to have the video running on loop on the whiteboard whilst students are doing drawing exercises so that they can remind themselves of the process whenever they want.
