The simplest shape is a dot. Two dots connect with a line, like we did in the first video. Now, add another dot and connect it to the original dots with two new lines. This will give us a triangle.

This is simple geometry and a triangle is our most basic starter-shape.

Now, draw another triangle alongside the first and then join up the corners.

It makes a prism shape – If you can’t see it, then you haven’t developed your visual skills quite enough yet, but that’s what we are working on!

Erase the “back”- hidden – lines and the prism becomes more obvious. Add a bit of shading and it becomes a 3D representation of a prism, which I hope you can see quite clearly now.

Task: Keep drawing this simple prism method until you are really clear how it works.

The aim of this course is to show you how complex drawings are really built out of very simple shapes.
