Hi and welcome. I'm Jolyn Parker here with another basic drawing lesson. Today
we're gonna draw coffee cups and tea cups. I hope you'll take a minute to go
get a piece of paper to draw along with me, because that is how we learn, by
doing, not just by watching. It doesn't have to be any fancy paper at all.
Just a piece of scrap paper the back of an envelope and a pencil, pen, marker,
whatever you have handy. Today we're just sketching to get a concept down. It
doesn't matter what it looks like. You're not going to show it to anybody. You
don't have to do anything with it, so it doesn't matter how we do any of
this. We're going to go very quickly. First off I'd like you to write the
words "coffee cups" at the top of your page. It doesn't have to be neat. Just write
coffee cups - C O F F E E C U P S. All right, now you have just drawn 10 pictures. Are
you exhausted? We don't think of writing as drawing, but essentially it is. When we
were children, we were taught to draw a picture that represents a sound, and when
you combine those different pictures together in the right order, you are
creating words and then phrases and sentences. Same with artwork, just some
combination of lines dots and curves, and the way we do them influences how things
go, the way we combine them with other marks on the page. So today we're going to use
some of these pictures. We're going to use a C. Now in art you're going to
draw Cs lots of different ways. It could be like a C, or a backwards C, could be
a C laying on its back like a half circle, okay? We're going to use an O, but
instead of kind of a circle we're going to use an ellipsis which is a flat
circle. So try sketching a few ellipses just to get used to that
movement. They don't have to be neat or perfect today. We're just sketching, so
just ellipses, just practicing your ellipses. The more you do,
the easier it gets, just like when you were a kid learning to write. We
are gonna use straight lines. People say "I can't draw a straight line." Did you
hesitate to write the letter P? No. It's just a straight line like you're doing
the letter P. It does not have to be fancy. We're also going to use letter Ss
today. I love the letter S. It shows up everywhere in art. Basically an
S is a curve that goes one direction and then flows evenly into a
curve going the opposite direction. An S can be on its
It could be a backwards S. It could be a little curve on the top and a big
curve on the bottom. It could be a big curve on the top and a little curve on
the bottom. That kind of thing. So just play around with S curves. They are all over
whatever we draw. So let's start with a coffee cup. We're gonna do an ellipsis
first. Doesn't have to be neat. Then we're going to draw a line down from the edge,
and from the other edge we're going to also draw a line down from the edge. Now
we're going to do kind of the bottom of that ellipsis, just an arc, a flat circle
on the bottom. Now we're going to do a backward C. Okay? And now let's put in a
smaller C inside that C. Alright, now let's do the letter Ss, long skinny
Ss. There you've got your coffee cup. Now you can add all kinds of flourishes to
it. You could add another little line on the inside to show that you've got
coffee or soup in there. You could draw a picture on the outside for your coffee
mug to be decorated. Alright, let's go on to tea cups. Let's draw an ellipsis, and
now we're going to draw a half circle.
Alright now, I'm going to show you an S and this is a backwards S and it's gonna
be a big curve on the top and a little curve on the bottom. And then I'm going
to do the same thing with an inside S to make a fancy little cup there. Now
that's a little trickier, but you'll get it because the basic concept is just the
Ss. So if it didn't turn out right, that's okay, but you know how to
practice it. I'm gonna put my coffee in, and I'm gonna put two Ss for my steam
and this time I'm gonna draw an ellipsis around the bottom here for the saucer
and then another little one there showing where the cup's sitting inside
the saucer. And for my flourish I'm gonna write a cursive E... e, e, e, e, that's
all it is, little loops, a little design like that. Then I'm gonna draw a line
that follows kind of the curve of the cup. You can decorate your teacup however
you want. These are just some suggestions, and then I'm gonna go and I'm gonna,
whatever design I use on my teacup I'm gonna make my saucer match so they can
be a set. And you're free to turn your paper around if things are harder to
draw upside down when you get there. Whatever. We're gonna stop there for
today I hope you have fun with that. I hope that you will take 30 seconds to a
minute each day to just draw a teacup or a coffee cup. See what happens. Each day try
to come up with a different design, a different picture to put on it. A different
way to cover it, and I hope you have fun and see how easy it is to start drawing
today. Bye.
