ORIGINAL DRAWING LESSON
Envelope
Drawing an envelope with a heart is a touching and heartfelt creative process. Start with a sketch: a light rectangle and flying diagonals that create a sense of volume. The heart will be the center of the composition—a symbol that fills the sketch with meaning. Finish the work with a play of light and shadow to give the envelope depth and make it truly tangible.
