Drawing for Beginners: PART 4 - How to Draw a Plane using Simple Shapes

In this art video I explain how to draw a complicated object by using simple shapes. The video is designed for beginners and those looking to develop their drawing. The drawing is based around a carpenter's plane , I explain how to look for the basic shapes of the object and then once those are established add the detail and the final shading. Towards the end of the video I give you 4 great tips for improving your drawing and making the outline sketch much more three dimensional.

This videos Patrons are: Farida Grewal and Marie Gamboa

I've learned how to have fun with my " beginnings" in art because you teach it so well, instead of, " Look what I can do and you can't yet."
Thank-you so much!!

Thanks so much Paul. As a child I was told I had a talent for drawing and colour. Over the years Ive used those skills to decorate my home and create a garden, blending colours and shapes. Now I have a bot more time on my hands, I have discovered watercolour, but am a complete new starter. Your tutorials are perfect - easy to follow and they get you started straight away. I also love your boundless enthusiasm.
