Drawing Fundamentals: Line, Form, and Perspective

Draw confident, smooth lines using controlled movements originating from the shoulder.

Sketch basic 2D shapes (circles, squares, triangles) as the foundation for complex objects.

Construct basic 3D forms (spheres, cubes, cylinders, cones) from 2D shapes.

Apply cross-contour lines to describe the surface and volume of a 3D form.

Break down complex reference objects into a combination of simple geometric forms.

Draw simple cubic forms in one-point and two-point perspective.

Apply foreshortening to simple geometric forms to create the illusion of depth.
