pop can drawing
Check out these examples below.
Yes, we are going to draw crushed pop cans. This is a great exercise in seeing shapes, shadows and highlights. In addition, it is much more interesting than drawing an uncrushed pop can.
First we will do some sketches to see what angle we want to draw our can from. Notice the different angles of the cans in the images above. Some are seen straight on, some are one their side, and one example even has more than one can. These things help add interest to the compositions.
Let's look for basic shapes in the can to sketch out the overall form. Then we will start refining the form, then adding dark values, and finally, finding the highlights. Check out these videos below to see how artists complete their drawings.
