Art tips,  So u wanna draw

So you wanna draw: 3 – Draw your keys

January 31, 2012 /

Are you ready for drawing exercise #3? Get your tools ready. I want you to take your keys and place it in front of you. This is more like a challenge because I don’t want you to draw another subject. Keys only.

 

Observe the key and draw the important shapes first. You put in the details later. Never mind if the ring is not round. One thing that is great about art is you don’t have to be perfect. The imperfectness makes the art.

Draw any keys you can find. Observe the details and put it down. Trace with pen and erase the pencil sketch. Write down anything you like; bold being your first impression or thoughts on keys. Why do you need to write when all you want is draw? It’s a way of keeping track of your thought about things you draw and the emotion you are having that time. It can be, “I love this key so much because it is the key of my very first car which now resides in a big junkyard waiting its turn to be demolished. Sob, Sob. – 31 Jan 2012” <– put the date as well.

Yeah, this can be a sketch journal as well.

Have fun! Don’t forget to show me your drawings!
