  1. The Seven Magic Words of Drawing

  2. Foreshortening • Distorting objects or parts of an object to create the illusion that one edge is actually closer to your eye.

  3. Shading • Adding darkness to a surface that is opposite of a real or imaginary light source adds depth to your drawing. Shading is the key to a successful drawing.

  4. Size • Generally objects drawn larger will look closer, except when overlapping. This can easily be accomplished with the use of perspective.

  5. Overlapping • Objects drawn in front of others will make the front objects appear closer. This is a form of perspective too.

  6. Contour Lines • Lines wrapped around the contour of an object adds volume and shape.

  7. Density • Images drawn darker, and with more detail, will appear closer than images drawn lighter and with less detail. This adds “atmosphere” to the drawing.

  8. Surface • Drawing textures such as wood grain, brick, and others will create interest and depth.
