the lam tutorial

Frank wants us to draw on three pieces of bond using the 45degree perspective grid we made. On the first sheet, draw simple shapes like spheres, cones, cubes. On the second sheet, draw compound objects (i.e. booleans). In the thrird sheet, draw real life objects which are made up out of basic shapes.

1. Use rulers and circle templates to draw the understructure of your shape. Make the blue lines very bold and visible.
2. Go overtop of the lines with a dark (~2B) pencil. Draw these lines freehand.
3. Shade with bold visible lines going in a uniform direction. Do not attempt to soften the shading, frank wants to see the lines.

Look at these three drawings:

This is not a good example because the shading is too smooth.

 

This is a good one. The smooth shading is mine and the coarse shading has been added by Frank himself, showing what he is looking for. I will explain the way to make a proper shadow in person.

 

This is pretty good, but the shading could be coarser
