Process of learning

• Drawing free hand with strokes like parallel lines, parallel curves, circles, curves etc.,
• Drawing various shapes & objects by slicing them into 4 equal parts, initially to attain symmetry
• Putting some basic shading & learning blending like spheres, prisms, cubes, cuboids etc.,
• Drawing the objects with free hand to attain the actual size
• Drawing the objects from photos/print outs (not from other drawings, but from mother nature)
• Shading & blending the objects with proper light & dark tones which helps you understand the properties of light on various textures, objects etc.,
• Drawing the objects by measuring the sizes using pencil
• Now shading & blending the objects with proper tones
• Drawing from real life i.e., real objects are placed in front, where measurement of object is taken & drawn using pencil
• Observation of light effects, shading & blending accordingly & instilling some life into the work
