ORIGINAL DRAWING LESSON

School Backpack

In this lesson, we will learn how to draw the main attribute of all students—a backpack. First, draw a rectangle for the main body of the backpack, then add the top part with straps and a handle. After that, detail the front pocket, zippers, and other elements to give it a realistic look. Finally, add shadows and highlights to emphasize volume and texture, completing the look of the school companion.
