There are seven elements that provide a foundation for creating a work of art. Among them is form, a three-dimensional shape or object. When drawing on a flat piece of paper, you can create the illusion of three-dimensional art using a few tricks. Join artist Fredericko Alvarado as he shows you how to take flat doodles and transform them into drawings that show depth and space!
