Drawing three-dimensional objects of a simple form in art studios is usually given a lot of attention. It is in these classes that a novice artist masters the laws of perspective. It is best to start mastering this science with a glass, since it has the simplest shape.
Draw a glass with a pencil
Place a glass directly in front of you. It is better if it is cylindrical and without edges. Imagine cutting it down the middle with a flat vertical plane. A trace from the bottom and walls will remain on the plane - a rectangle without an upper line. It is from the rectangle that you need to start drawing, and at the first stage it should have all four sides. It is better to lay the sheet vertically.
To make the glass symmetrical, draw a long vertical line in the middle. It is better to do this with a hard pencil, so that it is easier to remove later.
Bottom and top
Without bringing the glass closer to you, take a close look at what its bottom and top cut look like. You know for sure that they are round, but when you look at these parts of the glass from an angle, the circle appears to be an oval. Draw both ovals. The upper part of the glass is visible throughout the entire cut. For the bottom, draw the arc closer to you more clearly.
If you strictly follow the laws of perspective, the oval will turn out to be somewhat asymmetrical horizontally - the part farther from the viewer will be slightly narrower.
Convey wall thickness
Draw an inner path - draw lines parallel to the sides of the rectangle, as well as an inner oval at the top. Remove construction lines. Convey the shape with shading. Apply light arcuate strokes to the far side of the glass, then to the one closer to you. The strokes should go parallel to the bottom line, that is, when transferring the shape of the back wall of the glass, the convex part of the arcs is directed upwards, and when you hatch the part that is closer to you - down. If the glass is in the shape of a truncated cone, emphasize its shape with several diverging lines going from the bottom to the top.
Cup, mug and glass
Drawing a cup, mug, or glass step by step is not much different from drawing a glass. The only difference is that the cup can have the shape of a truncated cone (that is, you need to start drawing it not from a rectangle, but from a trapezoid), and the glass has a leg and a stand. In addition, the cup is most often opaque, that is, the part of the bottom farthest from the viewer is not visible. It is best to start drawing the glass with the vertical axis of symmetry. Draw a horizontal line through its lower point. Mark the leg height and glass height on the vertical line. The round stand in the picture will look like an oval. A leg is just two straight lines at the same distance from the axis. The glass itself is drawn in almost the same way as the glass, with the only difference that it does not have a flat bottom - the leg smoothly passes into the walls.
