✍️ Drawing Exercises

The umbrella's top is basically a semicircle, so practicing circle shapes can help a lot. Here are two simple exercises:

Exercise 1:

On a blank sheet, draw circles freehand. First, trace the shape in the air above the paper as a warm-up. Then draw the circle, going around three times for each one.

Exercise 2:

Use templates like a compass, lid, or circle ruler to draw multiple circles of different sizes. Then, trace over each circle freehand with pencil or pen.

Exercise 3:

On a new page, draw freehand circles again — just like in Exercise 1. Practice regularly to improve your line control.

You can repeat the same pattern for straight lines (vertical and horizontal):

  • Start freehand
  • Then use a ruler
  • Then go back to freehand

This is similar to how children learn handwriting — by tracing first and then trying on their own. It helps build muscle memory!
