Learning to master drawing with depth is an art that requires a lot of skill and precision. However, there are simple methods that can be used to learn the basics without wasting too much time. Here are a few basic exercises to start with: - Practice Drawing Contour: Draw the contour lines on a white sheet using only the side edges and lines visible as it folds. A. With pencil held vertically between thumb and index finger, hold close your face by moving the eraser near nose bridge. Start drawing the edges of what you are trying to draw. Do this in very faint strokes so that these strokes do not disappear as soon as you begin filling. - Create Shading with Contours A simple method for getting to grips with light and shade, without being overwhelmed by complex rules is a combination of a series of techniques: Practice contour drawing - Drawing just what we see is fundamental to all artistic techniques. By learning contour drawing we can learn much about shape, proportion and space. The most effective tool to master contour drawing in our art is a piece of black card that acts as the silhouette when folded along any line, against an ordinary window with daylight from inside. You draw your silhouette directly on this with a graphite stick. When you draw the folds and lines you will have no chance to correct your error because they become your permanent image once drawn. By drawing over every line until there is not room left, it is easy enough.
