Ever wanted to draw? You've arrived at the right place.This series of tutorials is designed to introduce the basic techniques of drawing to beginners. Starting with how to hold a pencil and basic shading and tonal techniques we move on to drawing simple basic shapes. I show you how by using simple basic shapes you can draw almost anything. I explain how to look at quite complicated objects and reduce them, in your mind, to simple shapes. Once these simple shapes are draw I explain how to add light and shade to make the objects look three dimensional. The videos use the above techniques to show you how to draw a watering can and a teddy bear. In the 4th video I show you that an understanding of eye level will make your drawings look so much more effective and in the final video I show you a very simple technique for creating depth in a landscape and show you that an understanding of scale also helps. Once light and shade - tone, has been added to your drawing your landscape will look three dimensional and have great depth.
