How to Draw with basic shapes

In this Fine Art video tutorial you will learn how to draw with basic shapes and apply them. The four basic shapes are spheres, cubes, cylinders and cones. A sphere is a three dimensional circle. On paper it will look flat without shading. Make sure you practice all kinds of circles. A cube is a three dimensional square. You can make a basic cube by drawing two squares and then join the corners. Cylinders are tubes or pipes. Draw two ellipses and join them by lines. If you are just starting out, practice making the two ellipses first. Cones are like cylinders except that there is only one ellipse and the sides converge to one point. Practice drawing all shapes of different sizes. Watch the video to learn about applying the basic shapes.
