Everyday objects like this are great for sketching. Sometimes all we have to do is look around us to find sources of inspiration. And while these objects may not seem like exciting objects, they are still filled with challenges that will help us improve our drawing skills.       <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a look at the completed drawing&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/drawing-of-keys-door-knob.jpg\" alt=\"Pencil drawing of a door knob and a set of keys\" width=\"800\" height=\"1225\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/drawing-of-keys-door-knob.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/drawing-of-keys-door-knob-196x300.jpg 196w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/drawing-of-keys-door-knob-669x1024.jpg 669w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/drawing-of-keys-door-knob-768x1176.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding:0% 4% 0% 4%;\">\n<div class=\"promoinsert\">\n<div class=\"promoimagedays\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"promotext\"><span>Realistic Pencil Drawing<\/span><br \/>\n    Explore the foundations and techniques for creating wonderful realistic drawings with pencil in this logically-sequenced video course.<br \/>\n     <a href=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/members\/realistic-pencil-drawing\/\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"contentbutton\">VIEW COURSE<\/div>\n<p>     <\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"contentfix\">\n<h2>It&#8217;s Easier Than You Think<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s easy for beginners to look at certain potential drawing subjects and get overwhelmed. It&#8217;s only natural to assume that highly reflective subjects like metal or glass will present difficult challenges. Objects that are precise or detail-oriented can also deter some budding artists. Most of these folks will simply look for other subjects to explore rather than tackle this challenge.<\/p>\n<p>But this is a mistake. Challenges force us to grow. When we challenge ourselves with &#8220;difficult&#8221; subjects we often surprise ourselves with the results. But when we avoid subjects that present challenges, we stagnate and our artistic growth is stunted.<\/p>\n<p>The simple subjects of this drawing &#8211; the door knob and keys &#8211; could be considered &#8220;difficult&#8221; due to the precision of the keys and the reflective surface of the door knob. However in this demonstration, Ashley shows us that even difficult subjects can be simplified and communicated in a drawing in a short period of time.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding:0% 4% 0% 4%;\">\n<div class=\"promoinsert\">\n<div class=\"promoimage\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"promotext\"><span>25 Days to Better Drawings<\/span><br \/>\n    Learn a new drawing concept and skill every day for 25 days.

Most artists agree that <a href=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/Value.html\">value is also the most important element of art<\/a>. The values and the positioning of the values inform the viewer of the light within the scene, the form of the subjects, and the surface textures of the subjects. <\/p>\n<p>Surfaces that are not reflective typically feature gradual changes in values from dark to light. But reflective surfaces, like shiny metal or glass, are different. Instead of gradations of value, reflective surfaces often feature extreme changes in value. Often, we see a dark value positioned right next to a light value. It&#8217;s the strong contrast in value and the extreme change in value that leads to the illusion of a reflective surface in our drawings.<\/p>\n<p>All we need to do is pay close attention to the shapes of these contrasting values and try to replicate them in our drawing. If we get the shapes and values close to what is observed, the result is the illusion of reflection.<\/p>\n<h3>Materials Used For This Drawing Exercise<\/h3>\n<p>In this lesson, Ashley uses simple drawing tools to complete the sketch. A common HB pencil is used for the initial contour line drawing and some basic shading. Once the contour sketch is in place, Ashley pushes the range of value with a General&#8217;s Layout pencil. This pencil is similar to a 4B pencil so the marks are quite a bit darker. <\/p>\n<p><strong>See also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/Artists-pencils-graphite-pencils-explained.html\">Artists Graphite Pencils Explained<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>The drawing is completed on basic white drawing paper that you&#8217;ll find in any sketchbook. There is a texture to the paper, but the tooth is relatively weak.    <\/p>\n<h3>Photo Reference<\/h3>\n<p>Ashley took the photo that is used for reference. The color was removed, making the values and value relationships easier to discern. <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a look at the photo reference&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/knob-and-key-reference.jpg\" alt=\"Photo reference for door knob and key drawing\" width=\"800\" height=\"1092\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/knob-and-key-reference.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/knob-and-key-reference-220x300.jpg 220w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/knob-and-key-reference-750x1024.jpg 750w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/knob-and-key-reference-768x1048.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking for other ideas to sketch?<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/101-sketchbook-ideas\">Check out 101 Drawing Ideas for Your Sketchbook<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"featuredimage\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/members\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/newmembersad.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"contentfix\">\n<h2>Drawing a Door Knob and Keys Exercise &#8211; Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Drawing is a skill that anyone can learn and develop.
