Drawing Three Real Things
Age 8 · Art
Look very closely at a real pine cone, shell or leaf, then draw its shape, its rough or smooth surface, and where it is light and dark. Later, open your old pages again and draw the same thing once more, a little better each time.

In the picture
- The real pine cone: the object itself, studied from close up
- The pencil outline of the seashell: the shape as seen from close observation
- The darkest shaded scales of the drawn pine cone: its rough texture and the change from light to dark
- The faint earlier leaf sketch: an old page looked at again
Examples
- Drawing your own shoe while it sits on the floor beside you.
- Sketching a shell you picked up at the beach, then drawing it again a week later.
Key takeaways
- Drawing slowly from a real object shows details a quick glance misses.
- Looking back at older pages shows what to practise next.
