Elements, Principles & Draw Rules.
I received this email-note from a Draw Page Friend who purchased one of the Instant Download Draw Books. It’s about the type of paper to use to print the PDF. I sent Cherry an email to answer her question but I thought maybe others are thinking the same question. So, let me answer for…
Yesterday we talked about setting up your Traveling-Mini-Sketch-Kit. Make sure you read the whole article because there are lots of ways to get around buying expensive materials. (and if you have more suggestions tell us: [email protected]) But, buying the best that you can at the moment helps! The reason that I suggest carrying only the…
As you probably already know, we moved recently, and I’ve been slowly unpacking all of the extra boxes. I found this in an old box: As you can see it’s been packed away for sometime, it’s pretty dusty! I’ll shine it up… but before I do…I thought that maybe we can do a similar project…
Hi, there! Today we’ll just go over a little bit about SPHERES. When you draw a sphere or a ball-shape…one simple way is to start with a circle. Then add the shading and shadows like you see in the illustrations below. You can make a baseball basketball orange grapefruit and on and on. Remember to…

Again, we’re not going into any geometry, just using the shapes to start off our drawings. Although we are drawing a cube, some of…
In the next five weeks we’re going to start with some simple shapes, how to draw them and how to use them to make fun drawings. The 5 shapes we’ll talk about are cylinder, cube, cone, sphere, and a squiggly-shape! We’ll learn the very basics and have fun adding our own twists! We’re not going…

Several of our grandsons live out of the country so we haven’t seen them in person to hug and love on them since March!!! We miss them so much! I can’t wait to see them in person, but…we spend a lot of time on Skype or FaceTime with them! We’ve been doing a lot of…
