In this project you'll draw different objects from life, looking specifically for the terminator.
Materials Needed
Pencil
Paper
Eraser
Object you can draw
White or light objects with matte (not shiny) surfaces are ideal. Good examples are toilet paper rolls, eggs, garlic, paper cups, folded paper, etc. You can also cover any object with white paint and then draw it. 😀For now, avoid shiny objects such as glossy ceramic. Avoid complex objects unless you have plenty of time to draw.
Examples
Steps
Set up your matte white object in a place where you can clearly see the terminator. (Direct sunlight usually works well. If you are indoors, make sure you only have one light source shining on your object.)
Sketch the object, emphasizing the terminator. Tone in the form shadow and cast shadow each with a flat, unified tone.
Take a photo of your object and your sketch and combine them into one image. (If you don't have Photoshop or similar, you can use Canva.com.)
Duration
This project should take 30-60 minutes to complete.
Common Mistakes
Rendering Don't render/shade the drawing. Just focus on identifying the terminator.
