Answer 1

For the drawing task, you need to select one of the options and create a drawing based on your memory. Here are the guidelines for each option:
1. Two Bananas in a Plate:

Start by sketching the plate at the center of the paper. Ensure that the shape of the plate is round or slightly oval, depending on your perspective.
Next, draw the bananas in a natural position, slightly curved, overlapping with the edges of the plate to show their placement. Pay attention to the light and shadow on the bananas, particularly where the light falls on their curves.
Use shading to indicate the different textures, especially on the surface of the bananas and the plate.
Focus on the shadow cast by the bananas and plate on the surface to add depth to the drawing.

2. Suitcase:

Begin by drawing the outline of the suitcase, focusing on its rectangular shape with rounded corners.
Add details like handles and locks to enhance the realism of the suitcase. Pay attention to the light and dark areas on the suitcase to show volume.
Use shading to reflect the material (metal, leather, etc.) and create contrast between the lit and shaded parts of the suitcase.
Add the shadow cast by the suitcase to the surface, showing the relationship between the object and its surroundings.

3. Elephant:

Begin by sketching the basic shape of the elephant, focusing on the trunk, ears, and body.
Add details like wrinkles, toes, and tusks. Ensure that you show the elephant's weight and large size with the shading.
Focus on light and shadow on the elephant’s skin to show depth and texture.
Add shadow under the elephant, ensuring that the shadow looks natural and follows the form of the body.

4. Cooking Pan on Bricks:

Begin by drawing the cooking pan in the center, paying attention to its round shape and the lip of the pan.
Draw the bricks underneath the pan, ensuring they are placed at the right angle. Use lines and shading to show the texture of the bricks.
Add shading to the pan to represent reflections and light. Pay attention to the light source on the cooking pan.
Show the shadow under the pan and bricks to create a sense of depth and grounding in the drawing.

5. General Guidelines:

Use appropriate pencils (HB, 1B, 2B, 3B) for shading and creating depth in the drawing.
Focus on creating accurate shadows and highlighting the light sources to make your drawing more realistic.
Ensure that the size of the drawing is about 15 cm as per the requirements.
