“Technology” in many fields is based on solid foundations and foundations in each field.
So what is the basic technology when you want to improve your drawing skills? One of the most common examples is “drawing”. Observe, recognize, and express as accurately as possible the shape and structure of what you are trying to draw, how light strikes and how shadows appear. It is an important technology as there are professionals who learn anew in the current job.
The textbook for beginners' drawings, which can be seen by comparison, provides basic knowledge on drawing, from basic figures to 3D expression, perspective projection, shadow tones, texture, gloss, composition, etc., with rich examples and illustrations. Explanation. It is a structure that presents the drawings before and after improvement in a form that can be compared and encourages the user to notice “common mistakes”.
Although this book is intended to practice drawing with analog art supplies, this series will focus on knowledge and concepts that can be applied to practice in a digital environment.
This article introduces an excerpt from one of the techniques related to the rendering method that expresses the three-dimensional effect of still life from Chapter 2, “Tone Attaching”.
Technique of 3D expression - Drawing method
The trick of drawing is not to “draw as you see” but to “express as it looks”. The drawing method is a technique for recognizing a solid by drawing the shadow of an object.
Before improvement: Cannot express the three-dimensional effect
A drawing that does not express the three-dimensional effect because it does not add light and dark shades using light.
Red paprika drawing
- Because the light and darkness is not clear, the direction of the light is unknown.
- The original color of the motif is drawn with priority, and there is no three-dimensional effect.
Improvement point: Know the drawing method with the image of the shadow character
If the characters are drawn normally, the three-dimensional effect cannot be expressed, but the illusion that the three-dimensional effect can be recognized by drawing a shadow occurs.

Romaji depicting only the shadow
Advice
Even if it is copied as it is, it does not look 3D. Since the drawing is two-dimensional, it can be thought of as “trick art” that makes it appear as if there is a solid in the plane.
After improvement: light and dark
Put a rough tone
Get in good shape
Advice
It is important that the light-dark relationship that has been decided when applying a rough tone remains until the end of the drawing method.
