PROJECT NOTES BELOW MAY BE PRINTED

BODY
Start with a basic shape by drawing two curved lines, one going up and over for the back and one going down and over for the "tummy;" the lines will connect at the nose and tail. Draw the tail first as a large triangle.

DORSAL FIN
Draw the top, dorsal, fin (fin #1)  with two lines going up and curving back, the long one starts halfway across the back, the other line is shorter and almost at the tail. A third line curves down from the long first line to the shorter second line

TAIL
The back of the tail curves inward, draw two lines for the curve. (These lines for the tail and fins do not have to be perfect because if the fish is swimming the fins are moving and might be turned or twisted.)

FINS
 Fin #2 is a front fin where the neck would be and a little higher than the bottom "tummy" line. It is just two lines curving toward a blunt point.  Fin #3 it is a little larger and is also just two lines curving to a blunt point.  Fin #4 is at the back of the bottom; it is three lines, a long one starting a little behind the halfway point curving backwards, the second line is short and about 2/3 of the way toward the tail from the first line, the third line is almost straight and connects the two. The fins have hair-thin bones in them, draw these carefully, start at the body line and sweep outward lifting your pencil or marker as you go so they get thinner at the end.

EYE, MOUTH GILLS
The eye is a black circle with a white ring around it and a thin black ring around the white ring. If you are drawing in marker or pencil outline the white ring lightly with a black circle but don't make it too dark. The mouth is a short downward line. The gills are just two or three curved line in front of the fin about where the neck would be.

Example how to draw a goldfish art lesson.

I did not choose to draw the scales, if you draw scales don't make them too small or too big, take your time to make them even by drawing a light "grid" or some light guidelines to keep the pattern from getting crooked then erase the grid or guidelines when you are done.

PRINTABLE NOTES

If you look at a cylinder from the center side view it will look like a rectangle.

If you look at a cylinder from straight above it will look like a circle.

If you look at a cylinder at an angle you see both the top and the side at the same time; now the top appears as an oval and the side is no longer a rectangle.

To draw the cylinder start with a rectangle, add an oval across the top, make sure it is level on both sides.

Make a curve on the bottom this curve needs to have just the same amount of curve as the one on the top.

The oval of the top needs to be just as high on one side as it is on the other side.

Use shading to make it look round and three dimensional.

PRINTABLE NOTES

Everybody's eyes are different so don't get discouraged if the ones you draw are not perfect because somewhere there is someone with eyes like the ones you drew.

BEGINNING
This simple eye starts with three lines. The first one for the upper eyelid is like a rainbow arch. The second line is a circle with a little bit going above the arch. The third line is a wavy one for the lower eyelid.

Place your shiny reflective spot early so you won't work over it.

The eyebrow is wider than the eye, just make a few marks to place it in the drawing but come back and finish it later since it is easy.

DETAILS
Draw a circle for the pupal, it almost touches the eyelid with its top edge. The circle of the pupal and the circle of the iris should look like a doughnut.

The skin of the eyelids are thick. Draw a second line to show the thickness.

The iris has a dark edge, so go over the outside of the iris a little but not too much. There are flecks of color in the iris they are like lines going from the outside edge to the pupal.

There is a fold of skin above the eye, it is drawn as a shadow with a soft line.

The eyelashes start on the outer edge of the eyelids. The top eyelashes are much longer than the lower ones. There are more eyelashes on the side away from the nose and fewer near the nose.

The eyebrow curves over the eye. The hair of the eyebrow goes in different directions; near the nose, it goes straight up but in the center, it is at an angle toward the ear and at the end, by the ear, it is laying down pointing away.

There is a shadow on the eye caused by the eyelashes and the thick eyelid, it is a thin shadow so don't overdo it.

PRINTABLE NOTES

The body of the shark looks like an upside-down teardrop with a bent tail. Draw it using two long curving lines that wrap around and off to one side. The tail is four curving lines, two going out and back, and two going in . The top tail fin is much longer. Start the mouth as a rainbow arch shape.

When you have finished the basic shape, then start adding the details. There is a hump over the eye like an eyebrow. There are two long fins, shaped like skinny triangles but slightly curved.  There is a fin at the back, but only a little shows from the slight 3/4 view.

The teeth are not even; some are broken, and some are missing. There is space between the teeth, but there are rows behind too. The gums are ragged, so use jagged lines to draw the gums.

Don't forget the gills, they are just curved lines behind the mouth. There are three small fins underneath the shark's belly. There are two nostrils, which are not for breathing, but sharks have an awesome sense of smell.

Color him gray or blue. The underside is lighter than the top and the tail fin is dark but not black.

How To Draw A Hero Jumping to Action. Drawing Worksheet

This free printable drawing worksheet will help put some action into your drawings. This is one method that helps to easily draw a figure in action with drama.

FIRST, A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT; If your drawings do not turn out the way you want do not give up learning to draw takes practice so draw every day and soon you will be making beautiful pictures. Come back often and try a few projects for ideas.

Worksheet for How to Draw a Hero Jumping Into Action.

To print just highlight this and send to your printer or save to your device to print later. Some printers work better if you drag the image to your desktop and print from there. If you have problems see the how to print tab above for some suggestions.

If you want to put some action in your drawings of superheroes here is a method that is easy and will help.

PRINTABLE PROJECT NOTES.

I suggest you start with a light pencil that you can erase easily and cleanly. You can switch to a darker one or markers later.

Begin with a jointed stick figure. We can all draw stick figures but go the next step and put dots for the elbows, knees, shoulders, hips, ankles, and then draw lines for the bones. It will look like a skeleton. Use this method to figure out the pose of the hero.

In my illustration I have him jumping with both feet off the ground, one leg is forward with the knee straight up and the leg is foreshortened; the other leg has the knee straight down and the lower part of the leg is behind the first. The shoulders are tilted, the hands are grasping a weapon, one hand is palm up and one hand is palm down.

Place the weapon before you get too far along but don't get caught up in detail just yet.

Once you are happy with the pose and the sense of action start to fill the figure out by adding the shape and the thickness of the muscle. Add clothes and armor last or drawing the figure will get lost inside of it and things just won't look right.

Keep the face simple. In my illustration the face is turned to the profile so it is seen from the side. The eyes are half way down and the nose is halfway from the eyes to the chin and the mouth is halfway from the nose to the chin. Our hero's hair is blowing back since he is in motion. If you have problems with the face you can add a beard or some helmet.

Erase the extra lines. You can go over it in sharpie and then color it in like I did, in my example I used water colors.

Give him some enemies to jump over and fight, or have him jumping over a bridge that is collapsing, or a volcano.

How to Draw a Well: Art Lesson and Worksheet

Here is a free printable how to draw worksheet, How To Draw A Well, 

This is a fun little drawing project for a beginner artist. Look at my example below in watercolor to see that it makes a lovely greeting card. A well can be a focal point in any rural or garden scene.

Worksheet for How to Draw a Well 

My how-to-draw worksheets are free, and you may print as many as you like. I only ask that you consider making a small contribution to support my art.

Thank you!

PRINTABLE PROJECT NOTES 

Begin with a basic outline. The base of the well is a cylinder. The curve of the front top should go down and match the curve of the bottom. The curve at the top back should go up. The roof starts with parallel lines; two for the post on either side of the well, two for the top and bottom of the roof, and two at an angle for the edge.

I draw guidelines that form a grid on the roof for the shingles. Draw this lightly since you may need to erase extra marks. Make some shingles wider than others but keep them pretty much the same length. Don't draw everyone; on some, just give a slight suggestion that the shingle is there, making it look old and weathered.

The side posts are three lines going up and down. There is a cross piece for the bucket to hang from, making two lines for this. Remember to draw the rope in the middle. The bottom of the cross piece is darker than the top because of the shadow.

I also use a grid for the stones on the side of the well. Keep this light so you can erase it later. Don't make the stones all the same shape. Give them some different shapes. Draw the stones by outlining them and leaving a gap between each one for the mortar.

The bucket is a cylinder with a few details, like some lines curving across for the metal bands and some lines going up and down for the wood. Draw the crank like a letter "Z."

Add shadows under the stones and the bottom edges of the shingles and inside the roof.

You can put trees in the background and bushes in front of the trees. You can add flowers and a stone path leading to the well.

INTRODUCTION
Learning to draw takes time, patience, and practice. If the hummingbird does not turn out the way you hoped, do not get discouraged because you learned some skills, and your next picture will be better. The more you draw, the better you get, so look over my worksheets and print out a few, do one or two every day for a while, and you will be surprised at how good your art will become.

OVERVIEW
Hummingbirds are beautiful, amazing, and very easy to draw. You only need to know a few basic shapes and take your time to make a beautiful picture.

BEGINNING
Start with a 2b pencil and draw lightly so you can erase later. Use a circle for the head and an oval for the body. The oval should be no more than twice the size of the circle you drew for the head. The first wing, the one away from you on the other side, is just a triangle; don't make it too big, no more the size of the oval. The tail is a small triangle.

DETAILS
The beak is two lines, don't make it too fat at first; do it skinny, and you can fatten it up later if it needs.

The rear wing is a line like a fancy number "7" with a foot on the bottom; it should look like an incomplete triangle. Draw eight wing feathers on each wing, starting at the top and working your way down. Try to draw the feathers in one beautiful stroke going out, then down and back.

Erase any extra lines.

Draw a curved line for the eyebrow and then draw the eye underneath it like a half-circle with the top of the eye covered just a little by the eyebrow. Draw the shiny spot in the eye before you color it in, so it doesn't get colored out.

The feet are tucked in, and you only see three toes, use short straight lines to draw them.

Some hummingbirds have brilliant colors. Most are green with white bellies and chins and black wings. Some have red throats or blue.

Using a simple "Jointed" stick-figure frame makes drawing this picture and others like it easy.

Start with a framework of dots for joints and lines for bones. It is like a stick figure skeleton. Keep it simple, just get the basic position and correct proportions.

Remember one figure is above looking down and the other is underneath looking up.

Add lines drawn around the stick figure to give it more body shape. Keep it simple.

Erase the stick figure frame and finish both bodies' shape.

Add shadow to give both bodies form.

A WORD ABOUT PRINTING

If you have problems printing this, CLICK HERE to visit my how-to-print page for suggestions. You could drag the image to your desktop and print from there. Or try the link below to an updated image file (PDF) that may work better on some printers. You have to copy and paste the image to a Word Doc on some printers and then print the Word Doc.

Candles can add something to a picture and are full of meaning. The trick is to get everything. Even if you have something on one side, you have something that matches the other, especially if you have a fancy candlestick.

PRINTABLE PROJECT NOTES

Begin with a line going up and down to be a "center" guideline that you will use as a reference, but you will erase later. It is OK to use a ruler to get the lines straight.

On each side of the guideline, put marks to indicate the places where the candle and candlestick have shape. Don't draw the shapes just yet; right now, you want to mark the places- like making a plan. The marks must be the SAME DISTANCE on each side of the center guideline. If the mark for a curve on the candlestick is an inch on the right side, there should be a mark that is one inch on the left side.

Use circles to make the curves of the fancy candlestick; make sure the circles are the same sizes where they mirror each other. Part of the circles will get erased later, so draw lightly.

Connect the marks with up and down lines.

The bottom of the candlestick has a curve going down and out like an upside-down rainbow but slighter.

The candle has drips at the top; they look like teardrops.

The flame is two curving lines that touch at the top, the flame looks like a teardrop, but one that is bent like an "S." And the wick looks like a question mark.

Add decoration to the candlestick using dots, circles, or diamond shapes.

Erase the extra lines.

Add shadows.
