This is a classic expression of the human figure. While there is more than one way to draw the human figure, this is an easy approach that is ideal for the young artist. If the drawing does not look perfect, do not get discouraged. Drawing takes practice, and if you draw something every day soon, you will be making beautiful pictures. I have a lot of projects, so come back often and try some more.

PRINTABLE PROJECT NOTES.

BEGINNINGS
Start by drawing a "balancing line up and down to keep the figure centered and balanced. There should be equal amounts of the figure on both sides of this line.

Start with a stick figure that includes the joints like the elbows and knees.  Take time to get the pose right.

DEVELOP FORM
Using ovals for the muscle groups fill out the arms and legs. Give the body shape.

DETAILS
Keep the hands, feet, and face simple. The hands are seen from the side view, so all the fingers do not show. The eyes are halfway down from the top of the head to the chin, Keep the clothing simple.

Add shadow to give the form depth and roundness.

PROJECT NOTES

BEGINNINGS
There is more than one way to approach drawing the human figure. This technique starts with a stick figure that is articulated with joints for the elbows, wrist knees, hips, ankles etc. In our pose she is on one toe, the other leg is extended back and the arms are raised up. Use a sharp pencil and draw lightly at first so you can erase later.

BUILDING BODY
Since the dancer has a slender figure draw lines around the stick figure to give it thickness. Add curves for the muscles and joints.

BODY DETAILS
Keep the hands, feet, and face simple. Do not try to draw every finger and all the face. It is art and can express perfection without drawing perfectly.

The hands start like the stick figure body. Think of drawing the bones first, draw the finger bones, the hand bone, and the thumb bone, then draw around them to make them thick. Use the same technique for the foot she is standing on, but the foot outback is only an oval.

Keep the face simple, her head is tilted back. Use guidelines to make a cross in the center of the head, that is where the ear will be, The eye will be at the bottom of the cross arm. Keep the chin small. Make the nose small and pointed up a little. Use a sloping line for the eye.

CLOTHING
Do the clothing last. The skirt is airy and has waves. The top is skin tight.

LESSON NOTES

Keep the image as white as possible. The wings are medium to small for their body size. The tail is medium to large. The beak is small.

BEGINNING
Plan to have the dove at a more dramatic angle, not just straight up and down- which is boring. Draw a line for the axis; this line goes from the tip of the head to the tip of the tail. Next, draw a line across for the leading edge of the wings; draw lightly at this point since you will want to erase some of this later.

DEVELOPING FORM
Use an oval for the body; draw this on the axis line. The top will be at the wing edge and will end at the base of the tail. The tail is like a Chinese fan; the head is a circle that goes over the oval of the body just a little. The wings have a curving line going from the edge to the tail. Draw a line on each side of the body to the wing and round it off for the shoulder.

FEATHERS
Don't draw too many feathers. Eight or nine on each wing and ten or eleven on the tail will be fine. Mark the feathers off for spacing before you draw them, so they are all even and the same size. Make them round on the ends.

DETAILS
The eyes are black and almost round, with just a slight almond shape. The beak is a triangle. Keep the feet simple; a few curved lines will work.

Do not color the dove; just use a little shadowing. Color the sky and leave the dove white.

LESSON NOTES

BEGINNING
Begin with the line for the water, this will help keep the perspective true. Next, draw the three curved lines that form the basic shape of the boat, it will look like a long thin banana.  The front and back go high out of the water. The ends go straight up. There is a circle at the back end and a rectangle-like shape at the front.

ADD THE MAN
Start the man as a stick figure holding the long oar. Put him near the back. Make this stick figure have knees and elbows that bend. After you have the position of the man the way you want it then go around the stick figure to make it thick. The hands are like boxes on the oar. Draw the clothing last.

DEVELOP THE FORM
The gondola has two seats in the middle They are half circles with circles inside. Draw a second line parallel to the front and back lines for the keel.

A LOT OF BLACK
The boat is colored black but does not draw it solid- give places where water is reflecting and the paint is shiny. The pants on the man are black, his shirt has black stripes, and his hair is black.

Draw some ripples for the water.

PRINTABLE ART LESSON PROJECT NOTES

BEGINNING
Use basic shapes to make an interesting house. Draw lightly so you can erase later and experiment with the design. Some parts are in front of other parts like the porch or the tower. Show the house from the corner and have two sides. Don't worry about straight lines- in fact, if the lines are a little crooked it makes the house look older and more spooky.

DEVELOPING DESIGN
Add the windows and the doorway. Use guidelines to keep the tops and bottoms of windows all in a line if one is higher or longer it looks sloppy.

Add a line for the brick foundation and two lines that curve outward for the stairs

DETAILS
Add the roof shingles by drawing the letter "U" in rows. Add shutters by drawing long rectangles next to the windows, have some hanging crooked. Add a railing for the porch, Add the brick foundation with short thick sideways lines

FINISHING TOUCHES
Add a fence but have a few pieces falling down or missing. Draw flagstones in the sidewalk. Add bricks to the chimney the same as the foundation. Add a few dead trees on the side of the house. A few tombstones are always a good idea and a bat or black cat. and don't forget the moon.

Make the windows dark unless you are going to have a spooky green light coming from inside.

I hope it turns out to be a spooky masterpiece!

LESSON NOTES

Start by drawing lightly so you can erase later.

The poppy is a cup-shaped flower with four petals. Start by drawing two ovals on the paper, one will be slightly behind the other. Mark the center in the middle of each.

Begin to define the four petals by dividing the circles into sections, use sweeping "U" shaped curving lines, do not worry about being even. One petal on top looks like a Chinese fan. The petals on the sides look like curved lines. The petal on the bottom looks like a ballerina's dress.

The edges of the petals are wavy. In the middle are little fingers that come up draw them at the center circle.

The stems are not straight. The leaves look like groups of feathers pointing up.

Thank you!

PROJECT NOTES

Start drawing lightly so you can erase it later. Don't worry if the lines are not straight- in real life these boats get beaten up, and a lot of the parts get bent and crooked.

BODY OF BOAT
The Body of the boat is drawn with some straight lines, one for the top and one for the bottom. The front is tilted out at the top and has two lines for the prow. The prow sticks up higher than the side of the boat. The back is like a  bent rectangle

SAIL
Not all sampans have sails but I think the bamboo pole sales look cool, so I put one on our drawing. It is just straight lines. Two go up and down for the mast they touch at the top and are wider at the bottom. There are six or seven lines going across. Do them in pairs so you have a top and bottom of each cross spar. Connect the ends for the cloth.

PUNTER MAN
The riverman is small, so don't try to give too much detail. Start with a stick figure that has a triangle for a chest and elbows in the arms. Put the punt pole in his hands that way you get the position of the hands and arms right. The hands are like squares. Next, draw the body around the stick figure. Lastly draw the clothing. Give him black pants.

DETAILS
Draw circles for tires on the sides of the boat. Draw an eye at the front of the boat. Add ropes and boxes. The house on the boat is another rectangle with an arch at the end. Use lines to show the bamboo poles inside.

If the boat is light make the water dark. if the boat is dark make the water light. Add mountains and trees on the edge of the river for a background.

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.
