Many things around us are just simple geometric shapes or combination of these shapes. Your wardrobes, windows, tables, chairs, laptops or maybe even your houses is made out of cubes. So practising these shapes are very important.

Its not easy as it seems to obtain some of these shapes. As you can see some of these shapes doesnt seem right and points out that i need more line quality practice. There is some tricks to draw these shapes.



Cylinder is made out of two ellipses and two vertical lines. Lines should be parellel to each other and ellipses should be in same shape. If you have a plaid notebook you can determine where an ellipse starts and ends. Draw two identical ellipses. Draw the parallel lines between ellipses and as a final touch you can remove the parts that is not visible in life.

For drawing the cube you can start by the corner. Draw three lines. All the other lines should be parallel to the first three lines. All parellel lines are in same length(except for perspective).
