PROJECT NOTES YOU MAY PRINT

BEGINNINGS
The body of the egret is a large oval with a smaller oval below it. Draw this first step lightly so you can erase it later. The neck is like a large letter "S," use two lines for this, so you have a back and a front. The head is like a long triangle beside an oval.

DEVELOP FORM
The large body oval is going to be the wing. There are some feathers at the bottom; draw them with curved lines. Erase the top line of the oval and darken the other parts. The belly is covered with long soft feathers; draw them as short, bent lines.  The front of the neck has some long soft feathers, so draw them as curved lines too,

DETAILS
The eye is a circle with a white dot in the middle. The beak has a line going across it to divide the top from the bottom. The back has some shadow, and a shadow goes down the center of the back where the two wings meet. The legs point a little backward at the knee.  It is easiest to hide his feet in the water or tall grass.  The far leg is darker since it is in shadow.

PROJECT NOTES YOU MAY PRINT

FIRST
Start with the line down the middle that makes the quill and shaft, so then you can use it as a reference for everything that follows. Draw the middle line as two lines so you have a top and a bottom. The line on the bottom will be a little thicker to show the shadow.

SECOND
The shape of this feather is oval, though some are triangular. Lightly outline the feather as an oval. Use two lines to draw the oval it will be evener.

THIRD
The feather has barbs, draw them as lines coming off of the middle line (shaft), and going to the edge, that is the outside oval we drew in the second step. Sometimes there are gaps in the barbs so draw the gaps early on, that way you are ready when you shadow it in.

There are downy barbs at the base of the feather. They go wild, so draw them every way, almost like a scribble.

FOURTH
Use shadow technique to show the connection of the barbs to the shaft this is done with short lines starting at the shaft going outward to the edge. Lastly, draw shot lines going from the edge inward toward the shaft. Leave spaces for interest. Use longer and darker lines on the bottom to give the shadow effect.

How to Draw a 3D Cross is a free worksheet that you can print by highlighting it and sending to your printer or saving it to your device and printing later.

If you have trouble making the file below to print, then see the how-to-print tab above for some suggestions.

PROJECT NOTES YOU MAY PRINT

The 3D is seeing not only the front of the object but turning it to see the side angle also.

BEGINNINGS
I start with a ruler. Some people do not think an artist needs a ruler, but a ruler is a tool, and every craftsman uses tools. Use a ruler to draw the lines straight and start with a light pencil to draw lightly since you will need to erase some of the lines.

DEVELOP FORM
This project requires attention to keeping lines parallel to make it look good. Draw two parallel lines going up and down for the shaft of the cross and then two parallel lines going across for the crossbeam. It is OK if they cross over each other since you are still drawing lightly and will be erasing later. Draw lines to close off the ends and the top and bottom. This should be a basic flat cross.

Use the ruler to measure both sides of the crosspiece to make sure it is not lopsided.

THE SIDE VIEW
To begin the side view that makes the 3D effect use the ruler to draw five diagonal lines from the top corners going down at an angle all going the same way. These angle lines are at the very top of the shaft, one at the top of the crosspiece, and three under the crosspiece. Last, draw the lines the make the backside edges. These will start at the short angle lines.

DETAILS
Many people add the sign on the top, or the nails, or the crown of thorns. Some add the shroud draped over the crossbeam. Put in the background with some long wavy lines for the near hills and some choppy lines for the distant mountains.

How to Draw Black-Eyed Susans Free Worksheet by MrAdron.

PROJECT NOTES YOU MAY PRINT

BEGINNINGS
Start with the flowers. In our example, there is one that is facing the viewer and two that are viewed from the side. Begin with basic shapes. Draw lightly so you can erase later. The flower facing the viewer is a circle, but the ones that are viewed from the side are a half-circle. The center of the one facing the viewer is another circle, but the center of the ones that are viewed from the side is more oval.

THE FLOWER
There are about 13 petals on the Black-Eyed Susan. Draw each one as two lines going from the center to meet at the outside of the circle on the one facing the viewer or the bottom of the oval for the ones viewed on the side.

DEVELOPING THE FORM
The stems start together at the ground and are two lines that are slightly wider apart at the bottom and gradually come closer together at the top. The leaves are bigger at the bottom and thinner at the top. They weave in and out behind and in front of the stems. The leaves are spear-shaped.

DETAILS
Add shadows to give depth and shading to give roundness. The center has bumps that are dark. Give texture to the soil.

How To Draw A Robin's Nest Worksheet by MrAdron.

To print the worksheet just highlight it and send it to your printer or save to your device to print later. If you have problems see the how-to print above for some suggestions.

PROJECT NOTES YOU MAY PRINT

BEGINNINGS
Start with a loose sketch where you use basic shapes to work out the design. The nest is shaped like a bowl with rounded edges, so draw an oval with another oval inside and almost touching the top edge. The robin is shaped like a teardrop upside down with a circle for the head at the top. The tail is like a long triangle.

DEVELOP FORM
Since robins lay up to four eggs draw one or two ovals for the eggs.
The hatched chick is a circle for a body with triangles on the sides for the wings.
The chick head is turned up and all you see is the beak that is shaped like a triangle.
Draw leaves that are heart-shaped or almond-shaped below the nest and behind the nest.
Add a tree trunk, it is drawn as parallel lines wide apart below the nest and narrow together above the nest.

DETAILS
The nest is textured with long lines going around it. Make the lines thicker and darker for the shadow underneath and inside bottom of the nest. These lines should follow the curve of the nest.
The robin has two long feathers on the wing. The wing on the far side sticks out a little at the back.
The tail has two long feathers.
Give the tree trunk texture of bark by using short choppy lines.

SHADING
Things that are behind other things could be shaded darker to make the foreground stand out.
The robin's head is black, the wing and tail is gray and the chest is orange-red.
The egg is blue.
The chick is brown and gray.

LESSON NOTES YOU MAY PRINT

BEGINNING
Start with three large circles, you can do more or less as you want. Just get them in place in the center of your picture, have them overlap a little to be interesting. In the middle, draw three tiny circles close together.

DEVELOPMENT
The flower has five petals. Start with the bottom one, it is shaped like a bushy beard on an old man or a triangle that is roundish. Next, draw the ones on each side they are like elephant ears. Last draw the two on the top, the top left is first and the top right is last it is behind everything.

LEAVES
The leaves are like triangles with bumpy sides. Start with a line down the middle and then draw the sides. Draw them behind the flowers.

DETAILS
The flower petals have jagged edges. There are veins or wrinkles that go through the petals. They have a dark spot on the lower three petals, use shading techniques to show this. Do not worry about making it perfect it is the randomness that makes the flower interesting.

The pot is just two lines going down to a level point and a curving line that connects them. Add shadow around the sides and below the flowers.

How to Draw a Viking Face. by MrAdron.

Here is a link to a file that may print better, CLICK HERE.

PROJECT NOTES YOU MAY PRINT

OVERVIEW
This Viking face is a man's face with a short beard. He is wearing a helmet that has a slight point and nose piece.

Every head has a different shape but this one is hidden by the helmet and the beard so it is almost impossible to make mistakes.

BEGINNINGS
Draw a large oval for the head. Use guidelines to keep things even. Place a guideline straight up and down for the center. Draw a guideline halfway down across the face for the eyes. Place a guideline halfway between the eyes and the chin for the nose and one halfway from there to the chin for the mouth.

ADDING FEATURES
The eyes are on the guideline halfway down. The tops are like arches drawn with straight lines; first up, then over, then across. The lower eyelid is almost straight across but just a little curved. Draw a shadow below. Draw a shiny spot before you do the iris or the pupil.

The nose is partially hidden by the helmet nose piece. Draw two lines like the parenthesis for the outer nostril shape and a line like a slight "V" between them.

The upper lip is hidden by the mustache, the lower lip is more of a shadow below going across.

HAIR AND BEARD
The hair is stringy. Do not try to draw every line, just get the shape. Not all Vikings had long hair, so this one has his hair- just collar length. The hair does not just go down but poofs out a little from under the helmet. Draw the bottom edge of the hair and the beard with a lot of short choppy lines. Then have a few long lines going all the way.

HELMET
Save the helmet for last. The helmet is not rounded but has a slight point. It is wider than the head. Draw an arch over the head but give it the slight point. There are metal straps going around it and over the top, draw them as double lines. Draw the nose piece with a rectangle. Add circles for the nails.

FINISHING TOUCHES
Give him some scars. Use shading to give the face a rounded look.

PROJECT NOTES YOU MAY PRINT

BEGINNINGS
Remember to draw lightly so you can erase later.
The head is an oval shape. The pose is the three-quarter view, (where she is turning slightly away) so draw a guideline slightly to the left to help keep things straight. Use guidelines halfway down, and going across the face to place the eyes. Halfway below that draw, another one for the nose and halfway to the chin draw another for the mouth. The hair starts out as three large ovals.

FACE
Keep things simple. Draw two arches for the upper eyelid and a slightly curved line for the lower eyelid. The nose is a line going down and curving a little inward at the bottom. The mouth is small. The eyebrows are a thin line.

HAIR
Outline the flowers and any other ornaments you want to put in the hair before drawing in the hair. There are two chopsticks poking out, there are three strings of paper bells hanging down, and a charm that looks like a comb on the right side. The hair starts high up on the forehead. Remember to leave areas to be highlights- it is good to outline them early on. Use long curving lines starting at the forehead and going up or out. There is a bun at the top and a bun at the side. The highlights will help it to look real.

DRESS
The dress wraps around the shoulders. Draw two or four lines going down from the shoulders like cloth wrapping across.

NOTE: There is much confusion about the Geisha as who they are and what they do. The geisha is an artist who performs songs, dance, music, and other art forms. They were to be living expressions of art and beauty

BASIC SHAPE
From the side view, the hand is like a long triangle, with a shorter triangle for the thumb.
Draw a rough outline using the basic triangle shapes of the hand and thumb- draw lightly so you can erase later.

UNDERSTAND THE HAND
Inside the rough outline of the hand, draw circles for the joints and knuckles and use lines as if they were the bones inside the hand. This helps to make the hand look real. Draw lightly; you will be erasing this later.

FILL THE AREAS
Between the joints draw large ovals for the muscles of the fingers and the thumb.

OUTLINE THE DETAILS
Outline around the ovals and circles. Draw one finger in front of the others by drawing the tip of another past it and drawing a line below the near finger for the one behind.

SHADING
Use shadows to show the roundness of the hand and fingers. Erase any extra lines last.

I hope you have fun with this lesson.

Thank You!

YOU MAY PRINT THE LESSON NOTES BELOW.

DESIGN STAGE
Lightly draw two or three circles to place the blossoms where you want them on the paper. Make them interesting and not in a row. At the center of each circle, draw a smaller circle. The cherry branch is mostly straight, so lightly sketch a line going across the blossoms for the branch behind the blossoms. Place two or three leaves behind the blossoms coming off of the branch.

DEVELOPING THE DESIGN
There are five petals on the blossom; use five lines to divide the circles into even sections. Inside each section, draw a teardrop-shaped petal. The petals should not touch each other.
The center of the flower is a circle of short fuzzy hairs; just draw short wavy lines in a row on the circle.
Draw little circles halfway between the ends of the blossoms and the center. Connect the circles to the center with a thin line.

BRANCH AND LEAVES
The branch has little bumps where new growth is happening; draw one or two little bumps on the branch. The leaves have a fold in the middle, draw it as a line, and then use a shadowing technique on one side of the line, so it looks like a fold. The branch is darker than the leaves.

I hope you draw a masterpiece!
