Building Form with Planes

Building Form with Planes

Below are some drawings of fruit. Study these and create four pages of fruit and vegetable drawings in your sketchbook. You are think of the fruit/vegetables as planar objects and build them up as planar forms as per these examples. You are to use real fruits and vegetables as models.

If necessary you are to exagerate the planes on the forms to help create a better sense of three dimensionality.
