A Lesson in Art (Drawing)-- Task 1: Form

I picked up an art book recently that would help me build upon my skills in drawing. The Complete Drawing Course is filled with hundreds of tasks in which you practice your skill. The first task which I have just completed is "form". The assignment was to find two objects of different form and create a drawing only of its form. To create a form drawing one is simply creating a line drawing without any sense of light or coloring. One is simply trying to interpret the shape of the object. My form drawing is of a small jewelry box and a cup. The more I look at the drawing the more incomplete the drawing feels. You not only want to draw the outline of the items but if there are other lines that create shape to the item you want to include that as well which I realized when I looked back at the text. So my little box should have more to it. I can't go back to this drawing because I have already moved the items out of place, but at least I know where there can be improvement. One think I would like to note about this is that once you begin to concentrate you start to really see all the ways in which the shape of the object moves. The more you look, the more discoveries you find in your chosen object.
