Draw Some Distinct Items in Your Home
Choose some very distinct household items, such as a hanging shelf, a large clock or painting with some furniture in front.
Don't worry to have all lines perfectly straight, as you can see in this picture, some lines are a little curved where they would be completely straight in nature. It makes easier to let go and work fast to catch the most important details. |
Draw a Caterpillar
Drawing a Caterpillar with such contrast rich pattern can be an drawing that is quickly done. All you need is the outlines and filling in the pattern with a very dark, but extremely sharp pencil, to avoid roughness and achieve a smooth field of tone. Then add a bit of some lighter shading tones with a very light pencil, sich as 4H. Done

Draw a Tiger's Head
When drawing this tiger use all pencil grades from the 6b to the 6H for the lighter areas. This way the lighter section will look soft and almost fluffy.
For the whiskers I usually an embossing tool (see my website in materials glossary section, if you are not sure what that is). I emboss the lines into the paper by putting a piece of cardboard underneath the paper. When you draw with your pencil on top of it the lines will remain white and look very clear. |
Draw a Crocodile
Draw the head of a crocodile sitting half in water. Try to take your time for details. Then almost reflect the same image upside down underneath to show the reflection of the crocodile in the water.
Use only a 4H for the reflection in the water to keep a fair distance in tonal value to the rest of the image. |
Draw a little Landscape
Today we will be drawing a smaller landscape.
This drawing can be done with one pencil alone, this can be either a HB or any darker pencil you wish to use. For a landscape not to appear too stiff, it is advisable to use line contour variations in particular when drawing buildings. For quick sketching use a lot of cross-hatching, which is much faster than layering. But keep lines neatly parallel to one another as the drawing will otherwise look messy. |
Draw an older Building
With a HB pencil draw an older building. Try to only sketch, that means create lines swift and confidently, even if not immediately correct. You can always adjust later.
Don't spend too much time being too precise today, we just want to create a fast impression of the building. |
