ABOUT THIS LESSON
In this lesson we're going back to the fundamentals of form! Believe it or not, almost anything can be drawn using spheres, boxes, cylinders, pyramids and cones. That applies to characters, creatures, vehicles and entire environments!
This is achieved by mastering the ability to draw these primitive forms in perspective, and modifying them to construct the subject you're drawing!
So it's important to study them. To become comfortable drawing primitive forms on any angle - as well as stretching, squashing, twisting and turning them in space so we can use them as the building blocks of our illustrations.
At minimum, primitive forms give us an introduction to understanding form itself - how it works, and the ways in which we might convincingly present three dimensional objects on a flat, two dimensional piece of paper.
By the end of this lesson, you'll have an increased understanding of form in general, how it can best serve you and your art, as well as a reinforced confidence when it comes to drawing primitive forms in perspective.
