Part 1: Cylinder Drawing by Jon deMartin

Drawing shapes correctly will greatly ease and enhance the rendering of most natural objects in your drawings. The cylinder, which is a combination of cube and sphere drawing, is the perfect shape to learn how to draw first. Learning to draw cylinders is essential, particularly in a still life, because an artist is continually confronted with ellipses found in items such as a plate, bowl, glass of wine or any other cylindrical man-made form. There are also many cylinders in figure drawing.

Drawing Circles and Ellipses: The Foundations of Cylinders

Before you can become a cylinder drawing expert, you must first learn how to draw an ellipse and properly construct a circle. Circle drawing can be difficult without proper guidance, but with Jon deMartin’s various illustrations to help you learn how to draw a circle, it becomes easy drawing for everyone. He explains how a circle becomes an ellipse when tilted away, because of perspective. Learn how to draw successful ellipses without distortion with these detailed beginner drawing exercises.

Drawing Cylinders

The eye cannot see halfway around a cylinder, so it is important to learn how to observe a cylinder correctly. These step by step drawing instructions show the process of drawing a cylinder out of a cube—you must be able to draw a good cube in perspective before you can build a successful cylinder. The detailed illustrations in this free eBook will help you understand the different steps required to learn how to draw a cylinder and how to correctly position cylinders in space.

Using the Cylinder to Draw the Human Figure

Artists for centuries have related basic geometric solids to the human figure. In these drawing exercises you will learn how much the human figure is truly made of cylinders that are different sizes. Several illustrations provided in this free drawing tutorial help you conceptualize this idea that even our fingers are constructed of cylinders. Understanding the axes of these forms increases our ability to conceptualize their volumes in space. By utilizing these constructs, artists can achieve a greater awareness and appreciation of a model when drawing from life. The potential for the model’s movements are limitless but finding the direction of the forms when drawing shapes is a very important technical consideration.

Sphere Drawing by Jon deMartin

The sphere and the ovoid are two forms that should be thoroughly studied to aid in the depiction of naturalistic objects of all kinds, including the human figure. The sphere, no matter how you view it, will always retain its original shape. The ovoid has an odd shape that makes it more natural for drawing the human figure because the human figure is not designed with perfect circles, as we all know! Learn how to draw a sphere and an ovoid with this free eBook from the Artist Daily experts. Start practicing drawing your basic shapes today!

How to Draw a Sphere and Ovoid

The sphere, a ball, and ovoid, an egg, are the two main geometric forms that represent curvature going in two different directions. Drawing lessons for beginners should always include learning to draw a sphere, because spheres can greatly aid your efforts when drawing many organic objects. Jon deMartin suggests learning to draw a sphere by drawing one inside a square. There are many more helpful tips given in this drawing lesson, not only about spheres but ovoids as well. An ovoid is slightly more difficult to draw than a sphere because of its irregular shape. Ovoids are generally used to create a more naturalistic object, like drawing the human head.
