Drawing Exercise #5
Check out this slide (scroll across for all photos). I take you through how shadows translate shape. From basic drawing all the way to realism, I never stop thinking about shadow, shape and light source. This 3D approach is how I make my drawings and tattoos, it’s a mindset and method to work by.
Practice drawing some basic things with shape and shadows. Think about your style, and how you’ll draw your shadows your way. It can be a simple cartoon character or something in your room. Just think about shape, shadow and light source.
Post your work for feedback.
