Five minutes may not seem like a lot of time to allow yourself to work on a drawing, as artists have been known to take days, months, and even years to complete a single work of art. However, as this book will prove, you can draw some really cool stuff in just under five minutes. By limiting their time, artists will start to see only the most essential parts of a subject while communicating action, movement, and expression into one timed drawing.

This book is jam-packed with step-by-step lessons for drawing cool objects quickly – in 5-minutes or less! Author, artist, and instructor Catherine V. Holmes will start by teaching you how to quickly interpret basic information onto paper using simple but meaningful lines made with purpose. Start by observing, then draw the main shapes within your object. Next, you’ll find simple lines and smaller shapes that build on the original ones, blocking in areas with lines and curves to represent the major details of your subject. The final steps should be filling your subject in with tone and refining shadows and highlights.

Drawing under a time limit is a wonderful exercise that will help you learn how to draw more instinctively and gain a better understanding of form. The final outcome is not meant to be a polished drawing, but rather an all-around practice exercise that will improve your game and help you draw really some cool stuff with ease. The fifth book in the How To Draw Cool Stuff series, this exciting new title will teach you how to create simple illustrations using basic shapes and a drawing technique that simplifies the process of drawing, all while helping you construct height, width, and depth in your work. It will guide you through the creative thought process and provide plenty of ideas to get you started.

Suitable for All Skill Levels

Whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned artist looking to refine your techniques, this workbook offers adaptable challenges designed to inspire growth at every artistic stage.

Learn to See Like an Artist

Learn how artists simplify complex scenes by breaking down complicated objects into basic shapes. Mastering this approach means even intricate subjects can become achievable creations when built step-by-step from circles, lines, and fundamental shapes. This powerful skill allows you to draw anything with confidence and clarity.

Understand Value

Discover how value—the range of lightness or darkness in an artwork—brings your drawings to life. By effectively applying highlights, shadows, and tonal contrasts, you create depth, realism, and believability in your drawings. Grasping value transforms simple sketches into captivating artworks full of dimension.

Master Textures & Patterns

Explore how to enrich your art with realistic textures and captivating patterns. While texture illustrates how an object visually feels (rough, smooth, soft, hard), patterns involve the strategic repetition of shapes or forms. Combining texture and pattern effectively adds visual interest, realism, and style to your artwork.
