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!

[@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.

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

You are an amazing teacher. I am really enjoying your lessons. Thank you so much for generously and genuinely sharing your knowledge.

I love these videos. I love your teaching style and I am truly enjoying it. By watching your videos I realised how much I love drawing. Thank you so much for these classes. I am going to repeat what I learnt.

[@ThePencilRoomOnline]

That's awesome to hear! Thanks very much for watching the series 💚

[@TasneemFaizz]

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.

[@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 😉

[@kennethbilling499]

First class instruction,simply explained and drawn,.thought I could draw until I watched your lessons,so it’s literally back to the drawing board and paper. Muchas Grasias.

[@ThePencilRoomOnline]

Thank you, I'm glad to hear this has provided some useful instruction for you. Best of luck!

[@miriamamjad441]

Thank you so much for step by step instructions. Honestly you have no idea how happy you have made me feel.

[@ThePencilRoomOnline]

Very happy to hear that, thank you!

[@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.

[@juliamarcandida1900]

Thank you! I’m enjoying watching your videos. I’ll start to practice soon.

[@ThePencilRoomOnline]

Now is the best time to start practicing :D

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.

Thanks for watching!

[@SqBall]

Great vid, got me started ( one of da most difficult steps fr me😅) and that matters alot, thxs !❤!

[@ThePencilRoomOnline]

Yayyyy! Yes getting started is hard. The important thing is just sitting down and doing some drawing every week, no matter what it is, exercises etc. Develop that habit and you're guaranteed to improve 😊

[@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]

[@DT-kx2gu]

Thank you so much!

[@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!

Could we get the classes more frequently?

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

[@shubham6607]

@@ThePencilRoomOnline Thank you 😊

[@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 :)

[@swapanghose8192]

I learn how to pratice to draw basic shapes well.

[@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 :)

[@whiskerske3218]

Love these lessons but wondering if you have a pencil sharpener 😂, your pencil looks so dull that it looks like you are at the wood.

[@ThePencilRoomOnline]

A blunter pencil line gets picked up by the camera sensor better so it can be seen more easily on the video. It's purely for that technical reason and so I don't keep getting comments complaining about not being able to see it well enough 😅 Highly recommend sharpening pencils when you need to 😇

[@brahimadam6355]

Thanks so much.

[@ThePencilRoomOnline]

Thanks for watching :)

[@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!
