Week 4: Video Drawing Lesson #3 Putting It On Paper

Lesson #3 - Putting it on paper.

One of the hardest things as a budding artist, is to just get something down on the paper. I believe it is important to use shapes to take away the pressure. They also are a great help in creating the line we desire. I call them helper shapes. Everything can be deduced into circles triangles or squares.

I also use a line down the center of my subject so that while I am going back and forth across my drawing, I am insuring a center point and balance in the drawing.

Try this exercise and then begin to draw all sorts of objects using these methods - I know you will be pleasantly surprised.
