How to Draw a Heart Shape

Video Transcript

"Hi there, welcome guys. I'm Lars and I'm an Illustrator and what we thought we would talk about is all different heart shapes. You might think that might be the easiest thing to do but there are ways to learn how to do a correct even heart shape. What you can do is you can almost fold a piece of paper in half and if you imagine this heart folded in half, you do one side like that and then if you want to put another piece, fold it up you can fold it up and do the opposite way and you can even do paper mache and fold it and cut it. So imagine that is cut down right in the middle there and there you have got a heart. You might have seen these funny things that I used to have actually on the back of my jacket when I was 12 years old. I had a girl that I really liked and I put her name in there, maybe her name was Sarah and then you have the heart going through and here is the shadow to it and there is the little heart behind it with the little window. You know how they do little windows. And once again you can take your shadow stick, block in your shadow, leave in this curoscuro they call it, it is done by Caravasio. He was an artist that came up with the curoscuro. There's your heart. It doesn't take long just to add touches of red just to get that impression of a heart. There are different ideas of the heart. Hope you guys enjoyed that. Have a good day."
