Sketchbook #13: Crushed Soda Can
Sketchbook #13: Crushed Soda Can
May 10, 2022
2 points
Using a real crushed soda can as reference (not another drawing), render a drawing of the crushed can using drawing pencils only. SHADING is the key here--you can blend or use cross-hatching for the shading. Include the logo, etc., on your drawing. You can have a background if you wish, but it's not required.
Here is a page with lots of useful examples and
videos (how to) on it! Pop Can Drawing.
Remember to label your page with # and title and show it to me when finished to get your points posted.

Label your page(s) and show me when finished.

Drawing cloth is all about highlights and shadows!
Find a piece of material or fabric (solid color will be far, far easier) and drape it over something, pin it to the wall to hang freely, or arrange it in an interesting format on the table. Then, sketch what you see in your notebook. (*I will have some fabric here to use.)
Materials: Drawing pencils. This will be just a black-and-white sketch, capturing the shapes, highlights, and shadows. THINK IN SHAPES, NOT LINES as you sketch what you see!
