How does INK differ from Charcoal or Pencil?

It doesn’t BLEND

It’s hard to draw LIGHTLY

It doesn’t erase!

Our drawings this month with TEACH you how to draw 3D objects in INK!

Specifically crazy towers like these:

But first, we’re going to practice ourdrawing skills with ink (sharpies)!

Follow along with the screen prompts to practice!

READY!?

Coming soon…(I have to draw the examples step by step)

WEEK 2Let’s get started!

STEP 1Wavy line with eight hashmarks

STEP 2Add “bumps” to your line, connecting the hashmarks

STEP 2Extend vertical line up from #1, #3, and #5 bump

These lines can curve, bend, narrow and widen…but they cannot CROSS.

STEP 3Add more curved “bumps” between the vertical lines

The towers only look 3D if your lines CURVE into the vertical line. This is an ILLUSION.

STOP HERECheck your neighbor’s towers.

Do they look 3D?Do the lines cross?

Are the curves CURVY?

STOP HERESwitch to sharpie if you feel good about your progress

Carefully trace your pencil lines in sharpie. Continue the REST of your drawing in sharpie.

STEP 4Add the curved “bump” lines for towers #2, #4, and #6

Does you drawing look 3D???

STEP 5Turn your paper upside down and do the same thing!

Does you drawing look 3D???

STEP 6Add shading in the form of *hatching* to the valleys!

Does you drawing look 3D???
