Turn flat shapes into solid forms: a cube from two offset squares, a cylinder and cone built on ellipses, and a sphere made round with tone. Clear steps and fixes for common problems.
Give flat sketches light and shadow with a five-step value scale, four ways to lay tone and a step-by-step shaded sphere with a highlight, core shadow and cast shadow.
Learn to judge sizes by eye with nothing but a pencil held at arm's length. Includes a worked example of a bottle three units tall, plus angle and negative space checks.
Eight pencil drills for smoother strokes, from dot-to-dot lines to ghosted circles, with advice on drawing from the shoulder, rotating the paper and using line weight to add depth.
Practice the five shapes behind every sketch, learn to ghost a stroke before the pencil lands, and build a simple teapot from a circle, an oval and a few curves.
