SPHERE

Image

Notice that I didn’t draw the sphere in the center of the page. It looks less planned when it’s slightly off-center, and the finished sphere will appear to be floating in the air.

When painting a geometric figure, you must pay attention to its proportions. Otherwise, the viewer will immediately pick up on any mistakes you’ve made. This is especially important when creating a sphere. If it’s even just a little bit crooked or inconsistent, the proportions won’t look right.
