How to Draw Famous Landmarks in Scotland

If you've ever thought that you're not talented enough to try drawing, we're here to prove you wrong. And with Scotland as your inspiration, we'll have you sketching away in no time!

What You'll Need to Create Your Scottish Drawings

Whatever your sketching ability, grab a bit of paper and a pencil and start drawing our famous landmarks from home and before long, you'll be planning a trip in real life to your favourite spots and sketching in person. Wouldn't that be a day out to remember?!

A piece of paper is enough, but a hardback spiral sketchbook works well if you're planning to tackle our full series!
Any pencil, but a range of different ones will help if you want different tones (HB, 2B, 4B, 6B, etc)
A pencil sharpener
A rubber (or eraser if you're from across the pond!)
A good seat and desk

Sketching Scotland: Easy

Try an easy sketch to begin with! Tobermory is the main town on the Isle of Mull, just a short ferry crossing from Oban.
