Project: Creating a cubist style still-life
Step 1: Find something that you like to draw, like about geometric and organic shapes. Take a photo of it or draw it in person.
Step 2: Drawing your image. Start with drawing a contour line drawing of the object. Then, draw the still life again larger and overlapping on the first drawing. Next, drawing the still life at least two more times either enlarging or making it smaller each time. Just make sure it is overlapping on the other drawings. Watch my video below for more details.
Start with a contour drawing 
Draw it again larger and overlapping on the first. 
Draw again, and again making sure to overlapping.
Step 3: Adding color, value, variety or unity. Using color pencils, pick a color scheme that you want to apply throughout the artwork. For example, I am using Blue, blue-violet, violet, red-violet, red, and red-orange. These groups are considered Analogous colors.
Think about value -tints and shades 
Finished: outline with a black pen or color pencil. Sign your name.
Step 4: Sign your name and make an artist statement. Take a photo of your finished work and place it on your weebly site. Also, write an artist statement that follows the DAIJ Describe, Analyze, Interpretation, and Judgment.)
