In this week’s Sketch Starters lesson, we’ll transform a basic rectangle into a realistic 3D cylinder using light and shadow. It may seem like a simple exercise, but this is one of the most important skills you’ll learn as an artist. Why? Because cylinders are everywhere. Once you understand how to draw and shade this form, you’ll be able to draw objects like coffee mugs, drinking glasses, soda cans, water bottles, flower pots, tree trunks, candles, pipes, arms, legs, and even parts of the human neck with much more confidence. Master this one form, and you’ll begin seeing the world as an artist—breaking complex subjects into simple shapes that are easier to draw accurately. Let’s get out those art supplies, and bring a flat rectangle to life! https://www.skool.com/sketchclubwithmrty/classroom/11454f5d?md=9fbc537c1bcc41329bb1645ef42fd7cd
