Step 1: Basic Shapes
If you are an artist, you may choose to make a masterpiece out of a language learning process and that is fantastic! But for the most simple yet still as efficient artistic project of learning cards making, three basic shapes will do. All you need is adjustable size square/rectangular, circle and triangle.
Step 2: Cut down your shapes
Now that you have got the basic shapes down, it’s time to make adjustments to their lenght and height. Depending on the object you are drawing divide the initial basic shape into as many parts as an item of choice has. Let’s draw a chair! There are many types of chairs, for the mst basic one, all you need is a square. Divide the square into 4 different sections.
Now arrange the four rectangulars into a shape of a chair.
Step 3: Add more shapes
Want to elavate your chair design? All you need to turn it into an armchair or an office chair is an additional shape. Take a circle and slice it in the midle, then cut out a smaller circle from the center and use it as a rail for an armchair.
Shorten the chair leg squares and make the seat square heftier.
If you want tu turn your armchair into an office chair, simply replace the two legs with one central leg and add the half-sliced-center-missing circle at the bottom. Take full small circles at attach them in the place of wheels. Now you have got yourself an office chair.
Step 4: Try new objects
Now that you know how to draw a chair, the next step is to add a table into the mix. In order to draw a table all you need is three long rectangulars that you will stack onto each other. If you want to turn a regular table into a coffee table, shorten the legs to make for a cute accent. If you wish to transform into a desk, expand one of the leg rectangulars and add several smaller rectangulars inside of for drawers. Now you have yourself a table.
Step 5: Resort to all the shapes
While square might be the most used shape which can easily be elevated into more elaborate designs with the helpf of a circle, let’s not forget the triangle. Cut down the top of a triangle to create an interesting and very effective shape.
Use this shape to create a lamp by stacking a wider cut-off triangle on a much slimmer triangle.
