“How do we use lines and shapes to draw?”

When we draw, we combine lines to create shapes, then, we combine shapes to create an image. When we break down an image to its basic lines and shapes, we are looking at the image “skeleton”. Once we have an understanding of the “skeleton” and can draw it, it is then, when you can begin to manipulate the skeleton by altering lines and shapes and adding additional details!  
The purpose of the “skeleton” is so that we can begin to add information on our paper in the size that we want it to be. Before we draw, our surface is blank. The “skeleton” adds basic information to our paper that we can build upon through the process of revising and editing. The “skeleton” can be looked at as a rough sketch of your final image. This reason is why I encourage my students’ to use light pressure when drawing the “skeleton”, as it will be erased overtime as you add in your permanent details. Once you have your permanent details, you can add even more fine details when you begin applying color to your drawing. I would like to demonstrate this process so I will upload a “color with me” video where we will apply color to our fairy cottage!
