Drawing #1 - Spend 5-10 minutes drawing your hand. Don’t worry about what it looks like, just draw in any style you are comfortable. This is a pre-instruction drawing to compare later.
Drawing #2 – Do a blind contour drawing of your hand. In a contour drawing, you do not lift your pencil. Add details by backtracking or retracing lines. A blind contour is done by looking at your hand and NOT YOUR PAPER. So this drawing is done by not lifting your pencil or looking at your paper. It will not be accurate. The point is to notice every place where the line changes.
Drawing #3 – Draw your hand again incorporating all the detail you noticed from doing the blind contour. You may look at your paper. This drawing should be much more detailed and accurate than the first.
Drawing # 4 – In preparation for shading cylinders, make 20 ellipses that could actually be part of a drawing. It takes practice!
Drawing #5 – Shade two different cylinders; one with pencil and one by cross-hatching with sharpie. Shading should be gradual and as realistic as possible. No outlining!
