Documenting a Classroom Demonstration of a Duck Still Life Sharing how to draw a duck toy with a pencil. Interested friends, please swipe right to the second image for detailed content. Following along will make it easier to understand. We've divided the steps into three stages:
● Simplifying Shapes to Help Understand the Form (Top Left Image):
First, use simple geometric shapes (like a trapezoid) to define the overall shape of the duck. This helps ensure the overall proportions and general outline.
●Breaking Down the Body into Parts and Drawing Them in Corresponding Positions (Top Middle Image):
Next, add circles and ovals inside the trapezoid to simplify the different parts of the duck toy (such as the head, body, arms, and legs). This step helps to better grasp the size relationships between the circles. Once the basic shapes are determined, start drawing smaller shapes like the hat, beak, and clothing.
● Marking Shadow Positions to Represent Light Source and Dimensionality:
Finally, add shadows to enhance the sense of three-dimensionality. Integrate the dark sides and shadows of the toy, gradually filling in the shaded areas. Simplify the colors to black and white, leaving uncolored parts as the light areas and shading as the colored blocks.
I hope the provided explanations and techniques help you understand how to draw shapes. If there are any drawing methods or subjects you'd like to learn about, feel free to leave a comment or message me. Happy drawing!
