Although that can help, it isn’t necessary and it certainly isn’t the only solution.
Some people will simply tell you that to shade well, you will need lots of different pencil grades. The lines you draw may delineate the shape, but it is the shading that will help bring life and depth to your drawings. Getting the balance of dark to light right is important when trying to create depth and shape within a drawing. If you use simple lines to shade, the closer those lines are together, the darker the shading will appear. It is a skill well worth spending time practicing. The basics of shading are simple, but applying them can be more difficult. You might well use all of them in a single drawing and practicing them will help you improve your results every time you draw. Practicing these simple lines will help you in all of the next exercises.īelow are some ways you can shade that are quite different.
From single curves you can then progress to S-curves. When you are happy that you can draw the lines straight, go back and start each part of the exercise again, but make each line a slight curve. Don’t worry or be surprised when some of the lines dont quite reach the dots as you intended. This will improve your hand eye coordination and also your ability to visualise the lines you are trying to draw. Reapeat this for any of the dots until you have drawn straight lines between every dot on the page. Take your pencil and draw a straight line between any 2 of the dots.
Draw 5 sec drawit series#
An extension of this exercise is to draw a series of random dots on your piece of paper. Vary the lengths but try to keep each line straight. Practice drawing straight parallel lines at the start, but as you progress draw lines that converge towards one end.Īnother exercise is to drawstraight lines radiating outwards from a single point.
