Air Balloons

Perspective is so fun and essential to an artist!

Without the ability, I wouldnt be able to illustrate these hot air balloons.

So, maybe actually being able to translate it onto the page is pretty important, too.

desert drawing

Draw the whole circle in pencil, and erase the top half.

you could draw balloons, clouds, and other airborne details from there!

The human dancing to the music can be in full motion.

nature circle drawing

The motion can come from the musical notes coming out of the music player.

JellyFish

Jellyfish are another great exercise to practice movement in drawings!

Start with the main part of the sea creature, then jump to the bubbles around the lower circle.
