How to draw a sphere

Sphere – one of the main geometrical forms which the artist has to own. Without sphere you will not draw either some apple, or a flower, or the sun. To learn to reproduce beauty of the visible world on paper, the patience and work which get skill is required. Drawing and painting – one of the few arts where it is possible to begin from scratch at any age. Who knows, perhaps, you own an unsolved gift.

It is required to you

  • - pencil,
  • - paper.

Instruction

1. Draw a marking for a circle: draw a cross, two lines which are crossed at right angle in the middle of a leaf. The point of intersection of lines will be the center of a circle.

2. Measure equal distances from the center to the right, to the left, up and down, and note them points on lines of a cross. Connecting the received points, draw a circle. You can add couple more of auxiliary lines which are crossed in the center to make a marking more often.

3. Repeat these actions so many time how many it will be required surely to draw an equal circle.

4. Draw an ellipse: draw two straight lines which are crossed at right angle for a marking. Put two end on the right and to the left of the center, from it equally spaced. On a vertical straight line put two end above and below to distance twice smaller, than across.

5. Connect points the smooth line so that the correct oval turned out. Repeat drawing oval several times to set skill.

6. Draw a sphere: at first draw marking for a circle and a circle, then divide the vertical line from the center three points into four equal a piece up, also divide the vertical line from the center down. Through the third point from the center draw the straight line parallel to the central horizontal up, draw the same line through the third point from the center down.

7. Draw an ellipse on the basis of the central horizontal, at the same time the top and lower borders of an ellipse pass through points, the first from the center, on a vertical straight line. Then also draw ellipses on the basis of the top and lower verticals, at the same time the lower bounds of ellipses pass in the middle between points 2 and 3 on verticals, the upper bounds – in the middle between points 3 and the top points of a circle.

8. Observe how the sphere reflects light where there is the most lit place and where – the most dark. Let's put, light falls on a sphere from above, then the most lit place will be in the top third of a sphere, the most dark – exactly in the middle, in the lower third – less dark place which is poorly lit with the reflected light. Note the fields of different lighting on the received circle, using the put ellipses as a marking. Shade a circle on a marking.
