Academic Drawing for Teenagers 10-14 Years by Zhenya Melnikova (Академический рисунок. Для подростков 10-14 лет – Russian, Eng sub)

Everything around us consists of just a few volumetric geometric shapes. Therefore, the secret of drawing is simple:

1. Imagine any object as geometric shapes.
2. Draw these simple geometric shapes.
3. Distribute light and shadow on the form.
4. Depict the object in 3D.
5. Add details — and our drawing is ready!

This is what we will talk about in our academic drawing course, adapted for school-age children!
