Drawing Every Day Objects | Learn Beginner's Drawing Skills

1. Introduction & Tools: Hi, my name is Jen Lo. I'm a watercolor nature artist and sketcher. Welcome to this class. Drawing everyday Objects. Everyday objects are a really great subject because they are easy to access and you see them every day. To take this class, it would be good if you have a little bit of basic knowledge about how to draw. However, if you don't, that's also okay. I have tried to make this class as simple and easy for anyone to follow along. This is also a series class. I previously put out basic shapes and drawing angles and folds. It would be good to go back and take the classes if you don't have basic of drawing. However, it is not necessary. Each class is also meant to be stand alone. The tools for this class are very simple. We will only be using three pencils and copy paper. The pencils are H B 4.8 Why are we using copy paper? Well, because it's really cheap and easy to access. However, if you have a sketchbook, go ahead and use that. Don't forget your eraser. All right, let's get into the class. 2. Class project: For the class project, you have two options. Number one is to draw one of the same drawings using reference photos. I will add some time to draw videos that you can use to follow along. What you can do is watch the tutorial and then use the time to draw videos. Another option is to set up your own little scene and find some of the everyday objects that you have around your house. Here is an example of how you can set it up, find some plain surface, or you can make one yourself, like using a really big piece of paper or a sheet. Once you have made a surface, then you can find some of your objects and put them in the middle. Here are some examples of objects that are really good and fun to draw. First step, we have this to go for a toy with a really simple shape. Nothing that's too complicated. Next up, we have the scissors. I love scissors because it's such a unique object. Scissors also have variation as well. You can open these ones and it gives you a totally different shape. Another one is bottles or some container. Here is a headphone case. It's a little bit interesting because it's got two different shapes. It's flat on the top, then it's rounded on the bottom. You can put it in different situations and it will give you a different shape. The next is also an interesting bottle with a different type of top. This will just give you a little bit of a challenge and there's a little bit of variation to it. Next we have a paint brush or a marker are really fun because they are objects that we see every day, but sometimes they have a different shape to them. For example, this one goes in and then out, and then also has a different rush at the top. That gives us a challenge. The next is the marker. It has a little bit of something difficult with the transparent hook thing, but the one thing that I would avoid is see through objects or objects that have liquid in them. That is because of course it depends on you. But drawing liquid or drawing anything see through is really quite difficult. I wouldn't really explore that until you get to the more intermediate levels of drawing. There you go. Have fun with all the unique and interesting objects that you find lying around your house. Please upload your project for everyone to see. You can do that by going to the Projects tab and clicking Upload Project. Look forward to seeing what objects lie around your house. 3. Vocabulary: Let's go over some vocabulary that will be used in the class form. The form refers to the object or subject that you are drawing a shade. This is what I will refer to when the form is not white, you need to fill up the entire form with a base shade. A shadow or form shadow. A shadow really refers to the first layer of shadow. This could be on the ground or on the form. Form shadow is usually referring to the first layer as well, but specifically on the form. Sometimes base shadow and form shadow will be used interchangeably. Second layer of shadow, this just means the second layer of shadow. It could be on the form or on the cast shadow. It is the darker layers of shadow being added after the base shadow. Let's talk about the cast and contact shadow. The cast shadow is the shadow that is being cast onto the ground or onto another object. The contact shadow is usually where two objects meet. Sometimes contact shadow and cache shadow will be used interchangeably but just know the context shadow is usually darker than the cast shadow angle. When I refer to the angle, I'm talking about the direction an object is pointing. Now you should have a good understanding of some of the vocabulary that we'll be using in this class. 4. Toy Plushie: All right, in this video we're going to be drawing this plushy toy. It's very simple and easy to draw. We're going to focus on the areas where the contacts are, where each ball connects with each other. Just play around with putting these round shapes together. The first thing that I want to do is I'm going to see the angle that is being created between the head and the tail. It's slanted like this. I make a little line to show that. Then from here going to do the head, I'm going to just wrap around. I'm holding the pencil very loosely at the end. It's really easy for me moving with my whole arm and making this easy C shape. Now it's a bit wider at the head and a little bit thinner at the tail, maybe something like this all. Now we have our general idea, Now it's time to make what are these called, the lines in between each fall. This one you want to look at the direction it's pointing, a little bit to the right and also the curve. The curve is going out in it's shape. I'm going to just draw a line like this. Then I'm going to curve it a little bit. It's going to look something like that. Tiny bit curved. All right, the next line is pointing more to the left. It's not really curved at all, it's pretty much straight. I'm going to point it to the left and I'm just going to keep it straight. Let's count how many pieces there are. 123456. I need to break this up into six pieces. We can measure that these two pieces in front are almost the same size or the same length, but the second one is a little bit longer. Let's go to the next one. Now it's going something like that. It's also curved, but this one is making a backwards C. It's not making a C, it's making a backwards C. Next one is pretty much straight. Let's see, let's measure it. The line to the line somewhere right there's pretty straight, straight with the line of the paper straight. Then it's also making upside down upside down. The last part is pointed a little bit down to the left. It's also making quite a big upside down. Now we've broken it up into pieces. And what we're going to do is now we're going to make more of the shape of each individual part of this worm. Going to hold my pencil like this, let me think. Let's hold the pencil like this. I'm still holding it out in the middle because I need to make big shapes. If I hold it too closely, I won't be able to make those big shapes. I still want to hold it a little bit out so that I have more range of movement with my arm rather than just my wrist. Right. Let's do the next part. Next part is like this. You can here, where these lines overlap. This one comes over and this one comes under. So we're going to do that on the other side. It's the same but not as much. This is pretty straight and then it wraps around like this. This one is pretty small wraps. Let's finish this. Wraps it around like that. Okay, so we have the general shape, but the one thing I'm noticing is that this particular part of the worm is actually a little bit smaller than what I have depicted here. I'm going to erase this a little bit and just make it a little bit smaller. I think what it is is that just a little bit more like that then this part is coming out here. There. So we have it all drawn out, that's to the Y. And a little, not supposed to be, the feelers for the worm is just a little X. Okay, so now we're going to clean it up a little bit before we get into the shading. Now we're going to go in with the HP and just make everything darker, just to give it the base. The H. B is a pretty sharp pencil, the lines are quite obvious. You still want to follow the form and make it look like it's wrapping around. What I'm trying to do with this is I'm just trying to fill up the white space so that it doesn't look so empty. You draw the little tag here. Okay, I'm only going over and doing the darker ones. That's its base shade. And then now I'm going to go in and I'm going to do some of the form shadows for the lighter ones. Okay, let's start from this one here. Let's see. The light is coming from all directions but the top, it's looking a tiny bit darker. That's because the light is like touching all around but not hitting the top as much. Also the part where the balls connect, There's going to be a contact shadow there. Let's add a little bit here, a bit here, then a bit on the top. It already looks a little bit more like a ball. Okay, let's move on to the next ball here. It's being cast in shadow on the top here, the contact shadow here. And then maybe just a little bit in the back here. Okay, I'll move on to the last fall. Definitely the contact shadow, maybe a little bit around here. Now we're going to move on to the four. We're going to add in the second layer of shadow. We're going to use the four to do the form, so for the darker parts. Okay, So the same start at the top, it's a little bit darker here at the top. Try to get it to blend in a little bit more. Okay. And then we have this contact shadow here, which is pretty obvious. We have a little bit down here under the eye. That one is starting to look a bit more. D, contact shadow here, put a little bit here, but not too much, some around here. Contact shadow, maybe a little bit down here because it's touching the table more. There's less light there. Let's see where else maybe splend a bit better, but a little bit here now it is a little bit down here. It's the contact shadow down here for sure. Make this contact shadow a little bit more obvious. And go back to B to do the hi and use the four B to more contrast. Okay, now I'm going to go back to the H B because does look great. It looks a little bit, a little bit patchy, like there's just too much white space I'm going to try to use. So try to use the HB and just make everything a little bit, so the same here. Just fill it in a little bit. Make everything a little bit softer. Because after we go in with the four B, the darker parts become darker. But then as you can see, once I fill in the H B, then there's not as much contrast anymore. Now we're going to go in with the four B again and just push some of those a tiny bit darker still. We should try to blend it as well as possible. It's okay if it looks a little bit scratchy, it's totally fine. Because these are not full render drawings. These are just sketches, they're just sketches of things around you. I do think the sketchiness adds this really nice quality to the drawings as well. Now, we're going to go with the eight B. First thing I want to do is get this one as dark as possible. Get his eye, it just for contrast around the eye. Now we got to do the contact shadow. Hey, next contact shadow, it gets a little bit darker, just in certain spots. Okay, looks great, but it still feels like something is missing. That's because there's no context shadow from the table to and the object. It feels like it's floating a little bit in space. For that I'm going to use the four B. It's pretty soft. It's a really soft shadow, but there's definitely some sharp lines on the very bottom of the little worm. I'm going to really sharpen all of that out, right then fill it in pretty dark, right next to the word. And then kind of soften it out. It has some words here, so it just add some little doodles, make it look like words. And we can put a little bit of shadow here because I see a little bit. Not too much though. We're back to just fill it a little bit here and there. This part just looks messy. I don't like it that's blended in a little bit more as this car. 6. Fork and Spoon: For this video, we're moving on to the next drawing, and that is the fork and spoon. Now the fork and spoon have a texture to them, because they are wooden. But I will not be filling in the texture. I will simply be filling in the form shadows and the contact shadows. These photos are all taken in the same place. There's light coming from everywhere. And most of the shadows are not very strong and very sharp. But we still need to add those shadows in. It looks like there is a surface on the ground where it's contacting. I know that the spoon and fork are roughly the same length. Once I map out the fork, it will be a lot easier for me to map out the spoon. Let's take the pencil, just measure it out. It's about pretty much the entire blue of the pencil. And then let's figure out the angle. It's almost straight, it's pointing up a little bit. I'm going to draw a marker here. Then draw a marker here, and holding it very loosely at the end. Draw a line. All right, now let's figure out the width, or the length of the head of the fork. See, I would say it's a little bit and it's pointing to the right. So let's do like this. Okay, marker and then draw a line. Then let's take the base of the fork, the very end, something this. Then I can just draw a line over. Let's just figure out where the head of the fork ends. I would say it's about one third. Yeah, somewhere around here. Then we can also figure out where those somewhere here. And the angle is following this direction, that's the rough outline of the fork. Now let's move on to the spoon. The spoon is about the same length, then measure the distance. Let's start from here. It starts about halfway. I'm just going to draw a line out here. That's the head of the spoon. And then I'm going to measure here straight. Maybe that's how far away it is. Let's get the angle. The angle is like this. It's pretty much the same as the fork. The fork was pretty much all the blue here there. I'm just going to draw a straight line down that tells me the spoon long. Let's measure the width of the spoon. I know that the end of the spoon is here. If I measure the width, then it should be about here. That is the general outline of the spoon. Then I guess it would come somewhere like this. That's the head of the spoon, curves up quite a bit here. Let's get the angle of the end, something like that. And then just draw it out like this. Now we have the outline of the fork and spoon. Now I'm going to go in and actually add a little details. Let's start with the fork. With the fork, it goes up here, and this one is pretty much straight. Okay? Then we need to make the, I don't know what these are called, edges, spikes of the fork. Okay? Then it goes like this. We need to have two more, one here. One here seems to be a bit too far apart. I think it's curved a little bit. Measure the handle, this. That means this needs to go inward all the way to this seems a little bit too thin. Then the handle curves in a slight S shape. It goes up at the point where you would hold it and then it goes down and then goes up again at the very end, but it's super slight up again. I think the curve is a bit more closer. Something like that. Okay. The next one, the handle at the very end, is also rounded. This side of the fork. We can also see it has a bit of depth to it, just a little bit. Okay, the fork is done. Now we're going to move on to the spoon. We already got the shape here. The spoon also has a bit of a different shape on either side. It goes up here and then it rounds out on this side, it's a bit more flat. That's just because of the angle that we're looking at, the spoon, it's something like that. The same with the spoon. A little bit more flat on the end of the spoon, but it still goes up a little bit. Right here between the head and the handle. Let's add that in. Then just goes down like this. Same here, goes up. The end is also rounded. Now, we need to make the depth of the spoon. You can see here, it looks weird, right? That's because the handle doesn't really start there. The handle actually comes from around. I'm going to start from here. I'm going to go like that. Now it looks a lot better the same because it has a little bit of depth. Goes a bit on this side, this is right, but it's a little bit too wide. I'm going to connect those. That shows that there's depth of the. So then we're going to fill in the side like this. Now that it's cleaned up, we're going to start adding the shadows. Now like I mentioned in the beginning, even though they have texture, we're not going to be drawing the texture. We're just going to be focusing on the form shadow. Even though it's quite bright, there is still some form shadow because it's not a completely flat object. It is changing and moving. Still use the HB and we're going to put down the base form shadow. Let's start with the forked. The most obvious is on the side. Weirdly, it looks too wide. Right now we're at the stage where the drawing just looks a bit ugly. Worry, it will get better. Now let's add a little bit of shadow. I see on the head of the fork, there's a little bit of shadow, the very top of the spikes. And there's a little bit of shadow where it dips down here, where the head of the fork dips down a little bit. And then we can see a little bit here, which is like the middle of the fork. Let's start there a little bit. Right here. Okay, that's all we're going to do for now. Now, let's move on to the spoon. The head of the spoon here can see it here. That's where it dips down. And then we can see a little bit around here. And then the same we can see where it curves up and also the part where it dips down, Let's start here, can also follow the form a little bit on the side here where it dips down. And then of course, just the other side of the spoon, maybe a little bit here. I'm also going to go in and do the contact shadow. Very faint, and that's because it's quite bright. There's not a lot of strong light coming in any one direction. A little bit like this. Keep that spot light there. That shows that the spoon is curving up. Okay. And also on the, for a little bit down here that shows that the fork is curving the same in between. The fork doesn't have as much as a curve on the handle. There's not that much shadow, contact, shadow, but there is a little bit. Okay. Now we're going to go in with the four. And just to make everything a little bit darker, start with the spoon. I whole bit, a little bit darker. So you can see the difference between the side of the spoon and the contact shadow. Now it's a bit more obvious which part is dark and which part is light, but we can't really tell the difference between the paper and the fourth end spoon. Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to go in with the HB and lightly fill out everything, but keep a little part, some parts white because those are the parts of the reflection. Starting with the spoon. I can see a reflection going here, which is on the right. It's darker on the left and lighter on the right. Then on the other side where it's on the right, then it's a little bit lighter on the left and it goes all the way down the handle. We're going to leave some of those parts white and try to go as light as possible. Try not to use the sharp side of your pencil. Try to use the light side. Try to use the soft side of your pencil. On the left light, we're going to fill in all the dark here. Keep a tiny bit on the left. There we go. Let's do the same with the fork. Similar ideas. If the right is dark then left. It's going to be a little bit lighter. But this one doesn't reflect light as much because it has more texture and it has dark light within the fork itself. Just going to use the soft side all in, leave a little bit light here, same leave the left side here. Light mostly fill it in. And where it's dark as going to have a little bit of light, there we go, but now it's looking a little bit flat because the difference between the dark and light is not as obvious anymore. For the very last, final touch up, we're going to use the eight. Now use this lightly, Don't overdo it, just use it in certain areas to really pop a little bit here on the spoon just to make it more obvious. A little bit down here, I don't want to use it for the contact shadow, just doesn't seem like I should use it there. Maybe just use it to draw the outline a little bit clearer. Blend it in as much as possible. Use it here just to draw that a little bit. Moving on to the fork, let's have a little bit darker in between. And right around here, maybe we can use it the same. To draw the shape a little bit clearer. I'm going to go in and use the four B on some of the cast shadow, or the contact shadow, just because the eight B is so dark, even starting to look a bit too light. Now, find that a little bit better. It's not really clear what is what I'm going to go in. Again, make that clear. Just looking at it and seeing what needs to be changed. I still think that the contrast between the two is a bit too strong. Now I'm going to take and just try to blend things a little bit. For example, right here just feels a little bit too dark. Blend it a little bit just here on the screen, for some reason just doesn't look very smooth. Just go over and smooth it a little bit. The same over here, doesn't look very smooth at all. We want to be careful not to go overboard, just get the details in cave that this is done. 8. Two bottles: All right, for this next drawing, we're going to be doing a bottle that has a different shaped top, and then another sort of triangle, cone like bottle. First let's get the length, let's get the width. Just draw out a box or the bottle. Then let's get the top, which is like this much. For some reason this doesn't look right. Then what we can do is we can figure out the width of the bottom of the bottle because it's lying down. We can see the bottom of the bottle, We know it's about this wide. And then from there we can draw out the eclipse. Then on the top, it's just making a shape, shape like this. Then we have our lines that should go around the bottle. Also we can measure, if we look closely, because the bottle is on its side and the back is going further in the distance, it might actually be a little bit thinner up here. Instead of going straight, these lines going straight, they might go in a little bit. That's just because that bottle is receding into the distance. Very slight, but it's wider here and then it goes in a little bit here. From there we can draw out the top. It's a backward C. Try to make the sides rounded. You can see a tiny bit of the bottom of the cap here going to do the same, it's also a backward C. Then it goes like this. The top part a bit like this. Great. For now we have the general outline of the bottle. Now let's move on to the next one this bottle is covering. And we can't see a lot of it, but it's okay. We don't need to draw through at all. Let's just figure out from this point to this point, how much space is there? It's going to be something like this. Okay, that's the top. Then let's find the angle and the length of this top part, something like that. Okay, now let's just draw a line, make sure the angle is right, and then just draw a line down very quickly to check we can look at the negative space between, is there enough space between the bottle and this line. If it is correct, then we can move on. Okay, so let's draw the next part. It's like this and then just draw a line down. Let's look at the negative space. Is there enough space in between? It looks. Then the bottom of this bottle is a rounded top. We can only see a tiny bit of it. We're just going to put that in the teeny tiny bit. Let's figure out the top part that's curved. There's a line here to show that that's different. There's this little tiny detail on either side. We can also see the top part of this very little bit. All this one is pretty simple, So we're going to start from the bottom of the bottle. The first thing you're going to notice is that the bottom of the bottle is not completely flat. It concaves up a tiny bit. That's why there is this white light part in between. Taking the H B, we're going to make that, we're going to make the form shadow. And we're going to leave the middle white. It's the same as we were sketching the cylinder. We're going to do either side, leave this middle part. Maybe we can do a little bit here, but generally leave the middle part white. Just a little bit here. There we go. The form is already starting to take shape. Here is a contact shadow, it's quite dark there. We can put up a little then for the cap is going to fill the entire thing in and use the four later. There's a tiny little high light at the top. I decide to leave that in. Okay. Now, let's move on to the other bottle. This bottle is a little bit darker, it's not white. What I'm going to do is I'm going to fill in the whole thing with a base shade using the HB. One thing you need to know about sketching on just regular copy paper is that it's really smooth. It really shows all of you, all of your pencil strokes because it's not rough and it doesn't have any texture. It doesn't really help you blend. That's the good thing about using sketchbook paper, is that it helps you blend a little bit. But it's okay for these drawings because these are just practice sketches. These are not finished drawings. The idea behind these sketches is just something you can have super easy access to right away. You can practice without making things complicated. At the very top here, it's white, very bright highlight. I'm going to leave that out. We can also do the cast shadow on the bottle that's lying down. Moving on to the four B. Let's use the four B just to add in some detail and make this shadow form shadow a little bit darker. Just a little bit. Then here I just want to make it a bit more obvious, what is what. Just a tiny bit the same on the bottle here. Now we're going to start putting the shadow in the same as bottle. The top also just going to fill in here and there on either side. That shows that it's a cylinder and the light is wrapping around for this part, I'm going to go in with the eight, just make that a little bit darker so we can see. It may make this part here a little bit right here. There's going to be a little bit of a cast shadow because these two are very close to each other. We have one here and we also have one on the bottle itself. The bottle that's standing up, maybe a bit over here as well, where the two touch. Now filling in the form shadow here, it might be a little bit difficult to figure out where you should put the shadow, but just look for the darks and lights because this shape is not a very specific shape. It's round on the bottom and then it has a triangle on the top. It's a little bit like a cone, but slightly just fill in a little bit here and there, especially on the sides. And then that will start to give it its form. Then for this one here, just fill it in here and there. And that's what will make it look a bit different. Like a very sharp line here. Also put in some of those lines, not all of them, just a few here and there. That looks a bit too, even. We're going to change it up a bit there, that makes it look a little bit different then the same on this bottle top, it actually has those little grooves. Let's put it down. We can also write some of the putting in little things like the labels and the text will bring your drawing to life and make it look a bit more interesting. There's nothing wrong with leaving it blank. If you want to leave it blank, you can, but if you want to just add in a little bit of that extra detail, then go ahead and write some of the labels. You don't need to write the actual words either, you can just make some scribbles. The thing to note about the label here is that the text is wrapping around, the text needs to have a little bit of an upside down. I'm going to just draw a line like this, then can use the sharp part. Just add a bit of text like that. There's some text here that goes all the way around. Just add it in like that. There's also another line here. It just makes it look a little bit more interesting. This is pretty straight, so it's going to do it like that. So now we have the label one on this one is going to be a bit more difficult. Let's start with the H B, wrap it around, make it a little bit darker here. You can see there's a difference. This one is quite complex, so I'm not going to fill in everything. I'm just going to fill in, for example, like this line here, some of the detail here, and maybe the stuff here just for interests. Just little interests here and there. All right, Next thing I want to do is I just want to make the top A darker. Let's go in with the eight B. Now, get some of those contact shadows. There's this tiny little shadow here. Maybe we can add it around here just for interests. There's a little bit of a shadow here. Contact shadow. We can just draw a line here, it's clear. What is, what we can add a little bit here. Super light. One thing that I'm noticing that's bothering me is the fact that the top and this bottle look almost the same shade when actually the top of this bottle is a lot darker. What I'm going to do is I'm going to go in with the four B. Just try to make it darker. I tried with the H B, but it wasn't dark enough when go in again with the four B and use the four B as the base shade. But now all of the detail that we got in from before it disappeared. Let's go back in with the B and lightly add some of that back in there. That looks a lot better. This drawing was really fun because although it's more simple, it's fun to add the little writing detail in. I think that's what makes drawing every day objects so fun because they have all of these little details. The more you look at something, the more you observe how something is, the more you'll see you are the artist, you are able to put in or take out anything. It's your drawing. Have fun with it. 10. Scissors: I feel like being able to draw scissors is a really big accomplishment because it's quite a weird and unique object, but it's something that you can see every day. It has different depths. The top part of the scissors is a little bit thinner, and then usually the handle is a little bit thicker, it has a lot of variation. And it will really help you improve your drawing skills. Let's start by measuring how long it, what I'm going to do is I'm going to measure from the top to the bottom of the longest side of the scissors. In this case it's the one that has the longer end. It's about almost the entire pencil. Also check the angle. I'm just going to draw a straight line. This is our reference for this part. This side of the scissors. Now let's do the other side. But before we do that, let's figure out the distance between each of these this much, okay? So make a marker there. Check the angle. Okay, it's right. You can also check the handle side. It's pointing a little bit to the left, maybe something like that. Let's put a little marker there. Okay, that should give us the general idea of how long this part should be. But let's also just measure, just in case. Okay, it's slightly different, it's slightly off. I made it a little bit longer, but I think it's generally okay. So let's draw a line that should be the beginning of our scissors. And this point where it meets is where the circle part should be. Let's see, the width of the scissors. So this is exactly in the middle. The scissors would be something like this. So this is just the rough outline of what the shape of the scissors. Check the angle. Yeah, it's correct. Okay, let's do the other side first. Let's measure in between, so it's like a little bit black, something like this. And then now let's measure the actual handle, which is the black bit and something like that. We already have the end of the back part of the scissors. We're just going to draw the line. Like this goes up, then it goes around. For this part, we know this is the circle that's in between. Then we're just going to draw two straight lines down. Then it's about okay, so we have our general outline. Let's erase this. Always check before you move on, let's measure the length. It's pretty much the entire pencil. This part seems to be a little bit longer than it should be. Should end here actually. Okay. Let's measure the other side. It's about this, where my finger is. Okay. We also have the same problem. We made it too big. Okay. Now let's measure the scissor part. It's about this much. Yeah, so that's about right. This one is also right. Okay, it's kind of hooked like that. Let's draw the circle again. Okay, so before you go any further and start to add in all the little details, it's better to just quickly double check that you have your proportions correct. All right, so let's add the information here. Let's start on the left side, so we can see the side of the scissors, it's pretty wide up here. And then it gets a lot thinner. Pretty wide up here, it's a lot thinner. And then just wraps around like this. Okay. Then we can see the other side, thinner again and wider on the two sides. Thinner in the back and wider on the two sides. Try to get this shape accurate, it goes up like this. And then around this part, although it curves, it's not that deep of a curve starting from maybe around here. The back side of it is pretty thin, then the front side is a lot wider like this. We can try to make this shape again, something about it doesn't look right. It's a little bit thinner here. And then it gets thicker here, then it wraps around. It wraps around and makes this kind of tail. And this side of the eclipse, or the oval, is a lot thinner than this side. Those little details, if you can notice it, then it will really help you to draw moly. It looks something like that. Okay, now this part needs to be wider and this part should be thinner. And that's what's going to make it look. Let's draw the inner part. The inner part we can't really see. This side starts out from here. And here, this part is pretty straight. You have to really observe things because sometimes things just look a little bit of. For example, this scissor part just looked a little bit off because it's going in this direction. But the scissors were going in this direction, the angle wasn't really correct. Again, there looks a lot better. Now it looks like this, the scissors are actually coming out of the handle. Whereas before, it was like the handle was going this way and then the scissor part was going this way. Yeah, just making sure that everything is correct the same at this side. Side looks fine. Okay, let's go in and start doing the details. I'm still going to use the HB and very lightly fill this in. Okay. Then we're also going to lightly do the scissors because it's a different shade. That's just the base of the form shadow. Now we're just going to go in and push everything a little bit darker so that there's more contrast before we add in the shadow on the white part. That will help us to make sure that we don't make those shadows too dark. Let's go in with the four B, it's a little bit dirty, right? Add some dirt. There's a little bit of shadow side and then a little bit of shadow down here where the scissors curve here where they touch. Okay, so I can see it a little bit darker here on this one and here around the edges or the corners, it's a little bit darker. Okay, now let's add in the context shadow down here. There's a little bit of light in between and that means that the scissors are not entirely touching the ground the same on this side. There is a context shadow here, but it still curves. And then there's a tiny bit of light right here, you can see it. Let's make sure we keep that the same here. Let's erase this out and try again. It touches here where it's dark, then you see a tiny bit of light which is right there like that. All right, We're going to go back in with the H B and do the white on the scissors. Make sure to do it very lightly. Once again, I'm going to erase this out. I'm going to use the shading to show that this is a different side. I'm going to leave this part here and here. I'm just going to make this line a tiny bit darker. That's going to show us that there's a difference. But this one, I'm going to start with this triangle here, because it seems quite obvious. That's going to show us that there's a different side. We're seeing two sides to this part of the scissors, although it's a little bit harder to notice the same here I see the difference between the dark and light. Just gives you an idea of the form, just hints of information here and there. Okay, now we're going to go in with the final details using the eight B. I notice that there's some detail on the scissors here, but I don't want to fill that in. I'm just going to put in that little dot there, contact shadow a lot darker in here and just around the scissors and the inside here, right here. It's pretty dark right here on the form on the scissors and also in the shadow right here. Okay? And then for this one, just going to draw out that contact shadow here where they connect. Had it in here. Use the four B to make this a bit more obvious. There's a little bit of dirt on the scissors. Final details are just clean up. Not really that necessary unless you want to clean up then I'm just going to use the eight to really enhance some of these lines because it's a little bit messy and it's a little bit hard to see what is what. And finally take the H B go in and make the handle part darker, and we're done. 12. Final Thoughts: Well, I hope you had fun drawing some everyday objects and learned something.
