Instructions for drawing scissors. Drawing a pair of scissors is not as hard as it looks, because I'll show you how to draw scissors in nice easy steps. You'll soon have a brilliant drawing. This drawing tutorial takes you through how to measure the scissors first, and how to draw the basic shapes accurately. Once the basic shapes are drawn I explain how to make the scissors look three dimensional by using vertical lines. This simple drawing technique will ensure that the handles of the scissors are all the same thickness.
Once this is complete I explain how to complete the shading using a 2B and 4B pencils. The shading is completed by using the pencil on its side and not using the point. The drawing is created on good quality cartridge paper.

4:13 Check your drawing for accuracy, size, shape etc, before starting on the shading.
4:40 Where is the light coming from? Where are the shadows?
5:51 Remember, varying the pressure on the pencil varies the tone.
6:40 Allow some shading to create an edge, therefore, removing the outline.
7:24 Make sure the pencil has a long sharp tip. You may need to use a knife to sharpen it.
8:33 You may wish to soften some of the edges.
