We are going to talk a little bit more about drawing in 3D with cartooning. Once again I am going to open it up to my room. Here's my one wall, my other wall and my floor. Now I am going to draw a table in this room. You want to remember the wall these three lines you can put at the very end. Cause you might have things in front of them. And unless you have an eraser it's going to cross over. So you might want to draw these three lines a the very end. But I am going to move the table over here into the middle of the floor so it doesn't block my walls. So I will start with the table. Now the table I'm going to have it balanced with the wall. So I am going to use the same parallel lines. You notice these two are parallel to this. And these two are parallel to this. Then you will mess up at first and I am not doing it exactly perfect to scale. But it's a cartoon so now we are going to. This is the table top. We will give it some thickness by coming straight down. And these vertical lines you notice are parallel to this line that shows the up and down in the room. Again parallel lines. And let’s make the legs. Legs they keep coming down like that. And another parallel line and down like that. And this it's going get a little tricky. Your first few legs are going to look a little bit like one of them is to long. One of them is to short. And so keep playing with it you will get better. See you notice parallel, parallel, parallel. That is not parallel fix that right there. Always good to work in pencil when you are playing around with this stuff or not be afraid to scribble it out if it's pen. Now notice this line right here is you can draw a straight line right across there and you can draw a straight line right across there. That's how you know my table basically looks likes it is all four legs are square on the ground.
