How can I make cool drawings with ordinary templates?
Is there a recipe for cool drawings?
Do you have any idea how art students learn to draw still lifes? They usually sit in large rooms where there is a plethora of everyday objects. They are taken as role models. They are often hung on specially designed panels.
Cool drawings are very much dependent on the motif
This strategy works not only for art students. Even beginners and semi-professional designers can do that.
Light and shadow games
Make cool drawings of everyday objects or paint them yourself
The everyday objects are a wonderful subject if you want to learn or practice drawing still life. You have two main strategies to choose from. The simpler method that we recommend to beginners is imitation.
The hardness of the mine and the quality of the paper are also significant
The most important thing is to learn to see
Properly reproduce the condition of the material
Find cool drawings and try to draw the lines. If you are an absolute beginner, then you will find out a different, better technique for you. Some people intuitively perceive the strokes intuitively through imitation. Others like to have some additional theoretical guidance.
Learning to see the light!
The second strategy is more recommended for advanced “artists”: In this you take the real objects to the template and draw them.
Try different techniques
The objects do not have to look photorealistic
Criteria for the selection of objects
The really good drawings work out especially if you choose the templates carefully. There are a few rules that could be useful to you.
Practice with everything you have, always and everywhere
Very ordinary at first glance
Particularly suitable for great results are the absolutely ordinary appearing objects. At first glance, they are nothing special. The more effective it is when you show them through cool drawings in a different perspective.
Drawing drapes is important and not exactly easy
Visually interesting
In fact, some objects do not interest you, no matter which artistic perspective you choose. Others, however, have an appearance that stimulates the imagination and can arouse many exciting associations.
Watch the shape and its interaction with the light
Practical to wear, conquer … or prepare
The practice makes perfect if it is repeated long enough. You need the templates for your drawings for a long time. Surely you do not want to create a big mess!
Choose items that you can easily put back in place. These items could also be assigned a special location.
Practice, practice, practice …
Foods can also be suitable objects for still life drawings. The important requirement here is that they can stay fresh longer, even outside the refrigerator. Then you can also use these for cooking or baking.
Set goals
Popcorn
Consider a popcorn! It seems incredibly exciting seen from different sides. Such drawings would be great basis for the decoration of minimalist spaces.
Learn to distinguish styles and strokes
paper bags
Filled and some crushed paper bags are more great templates for drawing. They cast wonderful shadows and have a reflective effect. These objects evoke different associations. For people who like to let their imagination run wild, they are wonderful!
That which looks simple is usually hard
Styrofoam cups
Are you interested in repainting drawings with geometric figures? Then these styrofoam cups are a wonderful basis for your drawing exercises. They are also suitable for further work with children who have to develop their math, space and perception of geometry.
The perspective wants to be memorized
Perspectively see and draw
fruit
Fruit and fruit bowls are of course a classic in the cool drawings. Do not worry if you can not resist the temptation to bite off an apple. This could make the object even more interesting.
Learn from the best
Take your sketchpad with you everywhere
More examples
We could go on with the examples of great everyday objects for so long, but let’s let the cool drawings speak for themselves.
