Drawing 2 vases with and without a grid
Step 1 of his exercise will give you a sense of drawing with the left side and alternatively with the right side of your brain.
STEP 1. Draw two squares on two separate pages.(about 20x20cm)
Draw a 4 x 4 grid on the first page and use this first reference photo (with same square grid) and map out the intersecting points with objects and grid
Leave the other photo with a grid (below) for another day and just draw the vases by measuring by eye.
STEP 2. Re-visit all of the hatching and shading marks you have already played with (from the foundation drawing course)
