What ever you are doing, the basics of drawing are always the same. Basic. Shapes. Always. When you see a person you want to draw, always start with the basic shapes. The head is a circle and the body a rectangle. Same goes for a house or a even a pot. When you start drawing, this is what you need to practise and develop an instict for before you start anything else.
Grab a bowl. Place it infront of you and start drawing a trapazoid. Then start rounding it out. The edges should be soft and blend into each other. The top edge of the trapazoid should have an oval which also blends into the rest of the bowl. And even though we started of with a trapazoid the sides of the bowl shouldn't be straight. Keep adjusting the drawing until it looks like the bowl infront of you. Then repeat the process, this time with a box or a jar, just anything simple.
Think of what you did in the unit above and then make apply it to more complex shapes. And if you haven't already started this, it would be a good idea too start practiseing shadeing. When you shade your shapes you're bringing color and realism to your drawings. To shade, first identify your light source. (The shadows are always opposite to the light source.) Then identify your lightest and darkest colors. Then create a gradient from light to dark with your selected colors. (Complex shapes include bottels,buildings,stuffed animals and exotic produce.)
Again identify the basic shapes of a 3d figure and then draw it. I don't really have much to say in this area, it's mostly just practising what you have done before, this time with more complex shapes.
