Creative Drawing Techniques with Everyday Objects

Description

Cups, books and kitchen items make good drawing subjects because they are always at hand. This mini-course of seven PDF lessons starts with an introduction to drawing everyday objects and then teaches mark-making and line control.

Later lessons cover perspective with simple household items, cross contour drawing to build three-dimensional form, creative grid distortion, and tape resist with graphite. The final lesson is a project that turns ordinary objects into finished artwork. Exercises appear in most lessons. After reading, you will have a set of techniques to try on any object and a finished piece based on them.

Who it is for: beginners and casual artists who want to practice drawing with materials they already own.
