How to Sketch Drawing 3D Shapes in Graphite – Cube, Sphere & Pyramid | Light and Shadow Study

Welcome To Erens Sketching!✨

In this graphite pencil sketch, I draw a collection of 3D forms—including a cube, spheres, and a hexagonal pyramid—to explore how light and shadow define structure and depth. This is a great exercise for beginners learning form, shading, and composition using basic shapes. Follow along as we use graphite techniques to create a strong foundation for more complex drawings.

Key Moments:
