Drawing Organic Shapes with Depth and Perspective
Objective:
Learn to draw organic shapes with depth and perspective.
Steps:
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.
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.
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.
