Welcome to your next drawing practice! Ready to sketch everyday objects

like a pro?

This video breaks down how to draw a side lamp (or abjure) using just the simplest lines and shapes! We'll turn this seemingly complex object into manageable forms like cylinders, rectangles, and circles. You'll learn to see the lamp in terms of its basic structure first, making the drawing process fun and stress-free. Before you start, look around you!

Find a real side lamp or table lamp in your own room or house. Drawing directly from life is the best way to improve your observation skills and make your sketch look realistic. Another option is to find a photo of a side lamp on the internet and draw that one. Grab your pencil and paper—let's start sketching light! Thanks for joining me today!
