Add a drawing of a sand bucket to pictures, walls, or clothing.
Sand buckets, seashells, and starfish all say "ocean" or "day at the beach" when added to pictures, stenciled on walls or used as clothing decoration. Drawing a sand bucket is very much like drawing a glass or a cup. There are some variances depending on whether you are looking up at the bucket, down at it or observing it from the same level. Location is also a factor: on sand, in water or seen alone.
Instructions
1. Use a paper or plastic cup for perspective.
Place the paper or plastic cup on a surface that will put it in the same sort of perspective as the sand bucket you wish to draw. This will give you a visual reference to see if your bucket looks realistic.
2. Use a pencil to draw a large oval.
Position your view slightly above the cup. Use a pencil to draw a large oval horizontally positioned on your page. Draw a slightly smaller oval beneath the first oval. Draw a line from the right hand side of the top oval to the right hand side of the bottom oval. Draw another line from the left hand side of the top oval to the left side of the bottom oval. Erase the back line of the bottom oval.
3. Draw an arced line that bows slightly upward on the horizontal plane of your page.
Position your view slightly below the cup. Draw an arced line that bows slightly upward on the horizontal plane of your page. Draw a smaller arced line that bows slightly downward on the horizontal plane of your page. Connect the ends of the lines with sloping vertical lines.
4. Draw waves.
Place your bucket in the picture by creating a surface for it to sit on. Draw a softly curved line across the bottom of it to indicate sand; or draw waves to show that it is in the water.
5. Make any decorations on the bucket follow the same curve lines as the top or bottom to help create realistic perspective.
