Overlapping Squares

Get out your sketchbook and a pencil.
Draw two squares that overlap at the corner.
Draw a straight lines connecting the three corners that don’t intersect in the shapes. This turns your square shape into a cube form.
Erase the inside lines of the back square to make it look solid.
Add value to your cube shape to create a cube form.
Think about:
- Where the highlight, or the lightest area, is.
- The darkest area will fall on the opposite side of the highlight.
- The cast shadow should touch the bottom of the shape.
- Remember, lines should not cross. Lines closer together will create a darker value, space them out to create a lighter value.
