OK, so simple shapes and letters are easy but lets take a look at some in a picture.....

A tip on how to see shapes is to ignore detail and just look for large shapes and then as you begin to 'see' them, others will pop out at you. This is the ground work that will prepare you to draw when you put pen to paper.

More about drawing shapes on paper later, but first take time to get used to looking at shapes.

As you train your eye to 'see' shapes you will find it a very powerful tool when you come to draw.

What shape is your flatscreen television?
What shape is your car steering wheel
What shape is Africa?

Africa is almost a triangle shape!
