Question

How do I draw a fork?

Community Answer

Use the same guidelines as for drawing a spoon, but add the tines of a fork instead of the bowl of the spoon. Practice until you have it right.

Question

I did the steps, but I had trouble drawing this. Why is that? Also, do you have any tips for me on drawing this kind of simple stuff?

Community Answer

You're never going to get it on the first try. Art takes practice. It might take five or even twenty times drawing this spoon to get it perfect. And remember, you are always your worst critic. For drawing simple stuff like this, I recommend setting yourself a timer for two to five minutes and drawing until the time runs out. Stop when it's done, even if you didn't finish, and move on to a new page and start again. Do this a few times and it'll get easier.

How do I draw a two line fork?

Community Answer

Make a bubble shaped "U" and "I" and stick them together. You'll get a nice 2 line fork.
