Drawing Organic Shapes with Depth and Perspective

  • Objective: Learn to draw organic shapes with depth and perspective.
  • Steps:
    1. Draw the First Type of Pancake:
      • Place a horizon line in the middle of the page.
      • Start by drawing an organic shape split by a middle line.
      • Freehand two isometric lines, intersect them, and create a rounded top like a roller coaster.
      • Draw the contours over the top to give the shape depth, using dotted lines for additional effect.
    2. Draw the Second Type of Shape:
      • Mimic the line from the first shape both above and below the horizon line.
      • Pay attention to the thinness of the ellipses as they approach the horizon.
      • Divide the shape with a line to see through it for better understanding.
    3. Practice Stacking Shapes:
      • Draw some shapes under and some over the horizon line.
      • Stack different shapes on top of each other to see how the perspective changes.
      • Always draw through the shape, which helps in understanding and visualizing the 3D aspect.
  • Timing:
    • Spend 20 to 30 minutes per page, or more if you are a beginner.
    • Try different speeds: set a timer for 5 to 10 minutes on some pages to challenge your pace.
