The best way to learn how to do anything is to start with the basics. If you are learning how to draw, that means starting with drawing fundamentals. One of the most important drawing skills for beginners to learn is how to draw 3D shapes and that's exactly what we focus on in Lesson 2. Because it's cubes, cylinders, cones and domes that make up the structure of most of the objects around us. By learning how to sketch 3D shapes NOW, you'll find things so much easier when you move on to more complex subjects!
In this free drawing lesson we'll cover:
• how to sketch
• how to draw squares, circles and ellipses

Lesson 2 is here...Its a long one! 😅Take your time and split it up over a few days if you need to. Then practice! Spend a bit of time this week and next week just drawing 3D shapes until it becomes more natural. It's good to draw other things too, but give yourself some 'study time' focusing on sketching shapes. Good luck!

@vkmukta629 Год назад

Have been waiting for this. Thank you! Could you suggest something for loosening the grip while practicing? I'm observing that I tend to tighten after a while.

@ThePencilRoomOnline Год назад

Thats a tricky one. Its actually great that you observe this! It can happen when you are concentrating a lot on the drawing task at hand. You could try holding it with the loose grip (further back along the pencil - I have a video on pencil grip here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_70yJ36fNXc.html) but thats not always suitable. Other than that all you can do is try to stay mindful of what your hand is doing, take a deep breath every now and then to relax your upper body/shoulders. I do have a few reminders in this lesson to use light, loose, sketch lines, so try to use that as a reminder to also relax your hand 😊

This is an amazing course. And I feel very good start learning the basics of art. I missed this stage when I started drawing because my goal is to learn how to draw heads so I downloaded the for Andrew loomis. Even though I have that I still felt there's something missing. Having knowledge about the basic shapes. And I found this platform, you really know how to teach ma'am. And I practicing very well. And I am begining to even have some confidence in my journey of art thank you very much

@ThePencilRoomOnline 2 месяца назад

Thanks for your comment! Yes, Loomis can actually be pretty tricky to get right if you dont first have an understanding of how to put 3D shapes together so hopefully this lesson helped. I will be doing some portrait drawing lessons including Loomis at some time in the future here on RU-vid :)

Hi I have been doing drawing since childhood i can draw what i see in a picture but am unable to draw through live portraits.....so i decided to learn from the basic but i am wonder i am not able to draw a cube although i trace all othe shape cone bottles perfectle please help me out to improve cube shape

@ThePencilRoomOnline 14 дней назад

There's not really any instant fix except to keep working on what you find difficult and identify what is going wrong. Often with cubes it is the angles that people have trouble with. The vertical lines are always straight up and down and the horizontal lines are always straight across. The angled lines should be all on exactly the SAME angle if you are practicing these 'isometric' cubes which have no perspective. So that's one thing to check. Use a straight edge of something to see if all the angles for one cube are exactly the same direction and length. The good news is that if you are doing well with cones and cylinders then eventually you'll figure out the cubes. It just takes time :)

@Sarum9nich 22 дня назад

I hate drawing cubes and geometric shapes, it give me school flashbacks, and i do not have fond memories of that place and my geometry/math teacher especially. I thought i could skip this step but the results i have been getting so far says otherwise 😢

@ThePencilRoomOnline 20 дней назад

Its not the most fun exercise but I think it's important to try drawing 3D shapes before you try drawing 3D objects. Don't focus on getting them perfect. Try to think of it as a way of practicing moving your pencil in different directions. It's really more about developing coordination than it is about drawing perfect geometrical shapes :)

@Sarum9nich 17 дней назад

@@ThePencilRoomOnline every day i have been drawing geometric shapes and some other beginner exercies from your videos. To the point that my hand feels very tired. I dont notice im getting any better at this, drawing cubes right with all the angles being correct is especiallby hard 😭 I have been doing this whole drawing thing for a month now, you are not the first online teacher i had, but so far you were the best.

@@Sarum9nich Good that you are practicing! But take it easy and don't cause any strain to your hand. Learning to draw takes a long time...at least a couple of years! That sounds like a long time but if you keep practicing regularly you'll look back and see how far you've come. It is important not to try to do too much too soon because it's just not the way learning works. Its a bit like learning a musical instrument - after a month you can play some very simple exercises....after a couple years you can play lots of interesting songs. So try to practice patience as well as drawing :)

@cmonaco577 Год назад

All the lines need to be parallel to each other, side lines, top lines, etc. Are they also they same length? Thank You

@ThePencilRoomOnline Год назад

Yes, the pairs of height lines, width lines and depth lines are the same length, within each pair! If you need to, you could use a ruler when you start to work on getting them the same length and angle before trying them freehand, to help overcome the wonkiness :)

@happydaysrcoming8792 11 месяцев назад

My drawing of boxes just doesn’t look the same, is there a way to know if all our lines are parallel?

@ThePencilRoomOnline 11 месяцев назад

If something looks wrong or wonky with your boxes then yep its probably that the pairs of lines aren't parallel. Make sure the front square or rectangle of the box is even first. The top, bottom and side lines should be in line with the vertical and horizontal edges of your drawing paper. The angled depth lines are trickier - you can check them by lining up a ruler (or any straight thing) up with one of your angles and then slowly sliding it over to the other angle, trying not to rotate the ruler at all. If you have a set-square (triangle ruler), try using it with the bottom edge always in line with the bottom of your drawing paper and use the angle side to draw all the angled lines the same. When you add in the very back edges of the box, don't just join up the depth angles because they might be different lengths. Remember the back edges need to be horizontal or vertical and parallel to the front edges. Other than that its just lots of practice moving your hand at the same angle over and over again! Hope something from this helps, Emily

@dpelpal 4 месяца назад

Arent all the lines supposed to converge when drawing a box? Im confused😥

@ThePencilRoomOnline 4 месяца назад

If you are drawing using perspective then yes that is true, the edges of the box will eventually converge. For beginners I recommend just getting used to drawing simple cubes with parallel edges (isometric cubes). There are two reasons I teach simple cubes first: 1. To get used to the idea of drawing a cube in 3D without all the rules that come with perspective 2. Perspective and converging lines become significant when drawing something from a distance. When drawing objects up close, perspective does still apply but it's minimal. When drawing a still life I wouldn't usually use converging lines and vanishing points etc, I'd just draw by eye. That said, it is important to eventually understand how perspective works. if you are comfortable drawing simple cubes with parallel sides or if you have a keen interest in perspective drawing then go for it! Here's my playlist of videos for drawing cubes in 1pt and 2pt perspective: ru-vid.com/group/PL-i_GDP6hCKm7mXrbRD627fq9BkHq3PBs Thanks for your question! Emily

@aeolianslot3277 8 месяцев назад

I don't know why, no matter how much I practice, I can't draw the last two squares

@ThePencilRoomOnline 8 месяцев назад

For the cubes? The trick is to make sure all the sets of lines are parallel. The height lines should all be straight up and down. The width lines should all be straight across. The depth lines are the hardest to get parallel as they will be on an angle, but they should all be on the SAME angle. If even one of any of lines is not parallel to the others in its set, the whole thing is thrown off. Get something with a straight edge and hold it against the lines in each set (height, width, depth) and you might be able to see where you are going wrong. You might feel like the angled lines should go a certain way but they really need to be parallel to each other (at least for this exercise :)). Good luck!

@kerseykrewzoo 3 месяца назад

You can try practicing your cubes on either lined or graph paper until you get the hang of the depth angle. Graph paper would probably be the easiest to practice on first, then lined paper and finally blank paper. Having the straight lines to help take the guess work out of some of it can really help you practice the part you're having the most difficulty with in my experience.
