Learn How To Draw Pt 3: How To Use Simple Shapes To Draw Objects

[@Yesmypfpismeirl]

i have been drawing ever since i was a child, and now that I'm 18, i recently started to learn how to actually draw, your lessons have been the most helpful ones so far and i can already draw so many things just from 3 lessons and a bit of practice, you're absolutely amazing! thank you for your awesome tutorials!

[@ThePencilRoomOnline]

So glad to hear that! Sounds like you probably have a lot of skills already there from years of drawing but following a set of lessons can really help to identify how you can use those skills. Thanks for watching and best of luck with your drawing!

[@robertstryjak1973]

This lesson is real useful but it's proven to me that I need to practice more basic shapes and 3d shapes before attempting an actual object because most of what I've drawn is wonky as all hell.

[@ThePencilRoomOnline]

It’s a good thing to realise! It’s natural to what to jump ahead to the fun stuff like portraits but just getting the basic shapes flowing naturally will help everything else. Doesn’t mean you have to just do shapes but throw in 10 mins of shapes practice before you draw whatever you want to draw - over time it will all start to come together. Thanks for watching!

[@RaineyStorm26]

@robertstryjak1973 I agree completely! It's definitely helpful doing something more advanced so you understand what to practice and why!

[@user-ue8yz6xl2e]

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart!

[@ThePencilRoomOnline]

Thank you so much, I'm glad to hear the lessons are helping! 😊

[@annehunter265]

So glad to see you looking well and happy. Enjoyed this lesson. A very good refresher for me as I go along developing skills.

[@swapanghose8192]

I learn how to pratice to draw basic shapes well.

[@sharonh988]

I am going back to Lesson 2 to practice some more. My 73 y/o hands aren't what they used to be. Thanks so much for doing these videos. 😊

[@ThePencilRoomOnline]

Take your time and lots of breaks, especially if you feel any strain in your hands, but it's good to go back and and practice things again because improvement comes through repetition. If you get bored with Lesson 2, try the first two Boost Your Skills lessons as they go back to basics but also give you something different to practice.

I have always wanted to learn how to draw and have a new skill but never got these useful lessons like yours. Thank u 4 these series.

Hope you're all fine! Happy to see another video from you!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Doing well thanks and getting back on track!

[@lesleyevans6938]

Nice to see you online again, been looking forward to continuing the lessons with you.

[@ThePencilRoomOnline]

Thanks Lesley, more to come, should be every fortnight - gives you plenty of time to practice 😉

[@rehanabano9388]

Very informative video, just what I needed. My drawing is not that bad but I needed the basics and your videos seem to help me a lot thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤

[@ThePencilRoomOnline]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching and Im glad it was helpful!

[@cmonaco577]

Another great job, Emily. I couldn't get my apple to lean to the side. Any tips? Jar was ok. More practice, lots more practice with the ellipse. (hahaha...) Carol

[@ThePencilRoomOnline]

Thanks! Tip for drawing a leaning apple: draw the angle it is on first! I did this in the second apple a bit late but if you draw a centre line on a slope and then try to draw the oval also on a slope so it is even on each side of the centre line. It can be a bit of a brain twister because we generally think of apples as being very round.

[@manthasagittarius1]

A squished rectangular cone, that's it exactly, and hey, it's OK to say so! This is really great, and just exactly what I need! I am subscribing today. Thanks to you sensible, marvellous artists who share your gifts and teaching skills on line so generously.

[@posweetu]

Thank you!

[@RaineyStorm26]

Thank you so much for this amazing art class!! I'm just getting into art for the first time and this is by far the best class I could imagine!

[@ThePencilRoomOnline]

Yay glad it's useful!

[@marmyyetter5674]

[@maxinepeagler449]

I'm so happy to happy to fine your art so helpful because I needed to practice and I really want to get better. I been drawing on off some years I been working so hard and I know it's going to pay off big time and love it's so exciting. Thank you and God bless you ❤🎉

❤❤❤❤ I love you more than anything you can draw

[@MrChuck3190]

Isn't that the truth, accepting the level we are at. That's definitely the number one reason I would stop drawing in the past because I couldn't accept the skill level I was at. I'd look at my finished product and lose all motivation

[@ThePencilRoomOnline]

I'd say it's the main reason people stop learning to draw. But I can totally understand it - it's especially hard to keep the motivation when there are so many amazing artists out there showing their best work on social media and KZbin. We don't get to see all the practice and struggle and fails that came before though!

[@cmr2426]

I’m stuck on understanding the ellipses. If one is looking at a bottle like in your example wouldn’t the bottom eclipse be wider because you would be looking down at it whereas the cap etc would be eye level? Or at this point are we just working toward the basic form? Thank you kindly. I am learning so many practical skills,!

[@ThePencilRoomOnline]

Yes you are absolutely correct! The opening of the bottom ellipse is wider. In this video I keep it simple to just work on constructing forms. Sounds like you've got the idea of ellipses in perspective already but this video looks at it in more detail: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWW9d2VjnbWUaMUsi=cWEzCrmAt8DGbTlD Thanks very much for watching this video series!

[@cristinastivalet8944]

Thank you so much!! this is doable!!! thank you!!!!!!!

[@ThePencilRoomOnline]

Yayyyy! Glad to hear it 😊 Thanks for watching

[@adeebaanjum566]

Than you so much for sharing your precious knowledge and skills. First time I understood some basics. I am practicing a lot but ellipse are very difficult for me, please let me know any of your tips, again I want to thank warmly. You are really kind and gorgeous person.

[@ThePencilRoomOnline]

Ellipses are difficult when you first start! There isnt really any trick except to practice. Whenever you draw or take a youtube tutorial, spend a few minutes before you start practicing ellipses, moving your hand across the page (just use the same page each time so you dont waste paper!). Like anything new it will feel strange and difficult to start with but if you stick with it, they become easy and natural. I have a video on other ways to draw circles and ellipses but the loose ellipse method is the best one to master if you can stick with it. Heres the other video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/faLHdX9soc5nibMsi=9JMjqfTv90lsZWwD Good luck!

[@zaidhakim4597]

Nice nolej

[@IMAGINENGINE]

Your old El Paso jar top, from my view is a scale of approximately 1 1/4 tall x 2 3/4 wide. From my view point, it’s quite a bit wider than what you’ve drawn from your perspective.

[@ThePencilRoomOnline]

I expect you are correct! In this lesson Im just demonstrating how to represent objects with simple 3D shapes. I haven't measured any proportions but we do cover that in Lesson 4 :)

[@brahimadam6355]

Thanks so much.

[@ThePencilRoomOnline]

Thanks for watching :)

[@jogi1233]

tell me about drawing shading i am doing outline well but i am not able to do shading please show me the way

[@ThePencilRoomOnline]

Basic shading will be in lesson 5. Hope you can stick around until then :)

[@shubham6607]

Could we get the classes more frequently?

[@ThePencilRoomOnline]

Once a fortnight is what I can commit to at the moment 🙂
