Object Drawing Techniques for Beginners

The document provides practical guidelines for an object study at the secondary level. It aims to teach students how to draw and paint man-made objects realistically by focusing on volume, perspective, and shading. Students are instructed to study objects by looking at their basic shapes, contours, and volumes. Exercises include drawing simple objects like circles, squares, and triangles both with and without shading, as well as composing drawings of objects using different mediums like pencil, watercolor, and oil pastels. The objective is for students to accurately depict objects' appearances including their proportions, textures, and uses of light and shade.

OBJECT STUDY

AIM
To learn the drawing and painting of man made objects in terms of volume, per-
spective and shading.

INTRODUCTION
In any art work the total perception of art work is very important. An artist can
achieve this perception only through constant studies of this object. It is very impor-
tant to study the manmade objects keeping it in front of him. So the shape, contour
and volume are to be studied both with lines and colours. He is supposed to follow
some basic steps like perceiving the objects in terms of simple geometrical shapes
and he can bring the volume by adding colour and shades. This exercise will help
him to perceive the texture, proportion and volume of the manmade objects.

OBJECTIVE
On completion of this practical exercise you will be able to:
! differentiate between difference in basic shapes of objects;
! draw the perceived objects with all its real appearance.
! apply the proportion perspective, colour, texture, light and shade on the
objects.

Draw three basic shapes with pencil or ink.

(Secondary Level)
Shows an object done by dots also called stippling method. The entire form, light
and shade is achieved by dots. Draw the object very faintly with your pencil to get
the correct shape.
The areas where there is dark, bring the dots very close to each other almost look-
ing like black patches. Gradually move to the middle tone where dots are not so
Notes close to each other. The high lighted areas can be achieved by putting dots away
from each other almost like a blank space.

Fig. 19
Shows the object done by straight horizontal lines. The entire form and effect of light
and shade is achieved by short and quick horizontal strokes.
Draw the object first with faint lines with your pencil to get the basic shape. Then
with your pen bring the horizontal strokes (lines) closer to each other for the darkest
areas. The high lighted areas can be left blank.

Fig. 20
Shows the objects done by criss-cross lines. This is called hatching. Here the lines
are taken in diagonal strokes over-lapping with each other. Lines are brought closer
to each other to get the darkest areas and for highlighted areas space is left blank.
