Exercise 7:
CONTINUOUS LINE KITCHEN DRAWINGS

YOUR KITCHEN IS FULL OF FUN SKETCHING IDEAS—CERAMICS, GLASSWARE, UTENSILS. CHOOSE SOME INTERESTINGLY SHAPED ITEMS FOR THIS EXERCISE, SUCH AS A STACK OF BOWLS, A SINUOUS VASE, OR A SET OF UTENSILS, AS SHOWN HERE. EACH ITEM IS SKETCHED WITH A CONTINUOUS LINE, WHICH GIVES THE DRAWING ITS CHARACTERISTIC LOOK.

VARIATIONS

1. Find and arrange your reference materials from your kitchen, or use pictures from cookbooks or online.

2. Set up your drawing materials.

3. Jump in without sketching first. Your lines should be free and loose. To make a continuous line drawing, put your pen on the paper and draw what you see without lifting your pen, periodically looking at your reference.
