One of the main things that can ruin a drawing is the appearance of FLATNESS. Too many beginning artists, and even some old-timers, tend to concentrate on height and width, while neglecting the vitally important dimension of depth—which is just another name for thickness.

To say it another way, whatever you draw should seem to have thickness. It should have bulk, body, weight. It should seem solid. If it just looks fiat, it won’t make it.

You’ve got to train yourself to think of everything you draw as being solid—as having bulk. John calls this "thinking through the object.” Think all around it—think of its sides as well as its top and bottom.

Incidentally, don’t get impatient with this elementary stuff. We know you’re anxious to start drawing Captain America battling Dr. Doom, but even Buscema had to have all this preliminary jazz down pat first— honest. Stay with it for the next few pages and we promise you’ll find it much easier to do the difficult drawings when you come to them.

End of commercial!

See the sketches on the opposite page? They serve to illustrate that most objects can be reduced to three simple geometrie shapes—A) the SPHERE (or bali), B) the CUBE (or box), C) the CYLINDER (or pipę). As we move along, you’ll see that most every drawing is based on one or morę of these three key shapes.
