Three people made of basic shapes drawing an oval, triangle, and rectangle. Trying to figure out what’s important. #basicshapes #shapelanguage #drawingpeople #figuredrawing #drawingbasics #shapes #visuallanguage #visualarts #drawinglessons https://www.instagram.com/p/BqFy5BdAA24/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1joxmxj8e966y

Playing with basic shapes. I’m constantly amazed at how much can be communicated with so little. #shapes #triangles #rectangles #ovals #proportion #figuredrawing #drawinglessons #drawingbasics #drawingtutorial #drawing #art (at Danbury, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnwM3FAhALJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1d1k56hb6b65r

We started with a plan to do some fan art of my buddy Jim Lujan's character John Henry Unicorn, but the chat asked a simple question about a difficult topic… PERSPECTIVE!!!

If you really want to learn perspective, go to this guy… JON MESSER https://www.jonmesserartclass.com/

I took a class in-person with him years ago and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. I've learned so much from him. And he's a kind, funny, and encouraging teacher to boot!

The Dance of Light and Shadow: Understanding Form and Depth

In the world of sketching, light and shadow play pivotal roles in bringing two-dimensional drawings to life. Each object, regardless of its shape or complexity, casts its own unique shadow, dictated by the direction and intensity of the light source. From the sharp-edged shadow of the cube to the soft, curved shadow of the cylinder, the interaction between light and form defines depth, volume, and realism.

This study explores how light behaves when it strikes different surfaces—whether it’s a flat plane, a curved cylinder, or a complex irregular shape. Notice how the areas closest to the light source are illuminated as highlights, gradually transitioning into mid-tones before plunging into deep shadows. This contrast creates the illusion of depth and gives objects their three-dimensional appearance.

Mastering light and shadow is essential for any artist, as it helps in understanding perspective and form. It teaches us how to visualize light wrapping around objects and how shadows ground them in space. This knowledge not only enhances realism but also adds drama and emotion to artwork.
