Are you ready to take your skills to the next level by bringing realistic 3D form to your drawings?
In this lesson for intermediate level drawing students, I'll show you how to draw a cat portrait with an emphasis on 3D form. In this project, 3D form refers to showing the planes or angled surfaces of the face.
By focusing on the 3D form from the start you'll gain a better understanding of how to use light and shadow to make your drawings look more realistic.
Many of the ideas covered in this lesson are also relevant to drawing 3D human portraits, so if that is a goal of yours, this is a great place to start!
You'll learn: Who Is This Class For? This class is best suited to people who: - are competent in basic sketching and shading skills eg. using proportion, shading a range of values - are interested in starting to draw human portraits (a cat is much easier to start with!) - want to get more depth and realism in their drawings While the main drawing project is designed for intermediate students, beginners will find the first two exercises useful. These exercises are good for practicing drawing spheres and looking at how light hits form.
• how to look for underlying 3D form
• how to use light and shadow to enhance form
• sketching and shading skills
