Triangles

Get out your sketchbook and a pencil.
Draw a triangle, draw a line from the top point, to below the bottom line at a slight angle.
Draw straight lines from the bottom corners to the bottom of the line you drew.
Erase the lines that go through the shape (except the first line you drew).
Erase the lines that cross. Your triangle has become a pyramid.
Add value to your triangle shape to create a pyramid 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.
