Drawing a candy is very simple. It's a rectangular middle with rounded edges and two twisted wrapper tails. On the middle, folds remain from the twisting.

Drawing a spool is very simple. A big cylinder with a smaller cylinder sticking out on both sides. To show the wound thread, you can add hatching, or just draw a sticking-out tip.

The hardest part about the mug is the handle. If you make it three-dimensional, conveying the shape isn't easy. Everything else won't be a problem: an oval on top, two lines going down, and half an oval at the bottom.

An ashtray is a plate with notches for cigarettes. There are two ways to draw it: draw the plate and then erase the notches on it — or first draw the notches and then draw the plate around them. Use whichever one is more convenient for you.

Carrot is triangular, orange, and striped. It has a rounded top from which a bunch of leaves sticks out.

Why don't we draw an ogre? He's big, strong, and angular. First let's draw the lip, with the fangs sticking out from under it. Below it — a heavy chin, above it — a nose, eyes under an angry brow, ears, and a bald crown. Next — the body, arms, and legs. Here you just keep trying until it works out. The main tip — try to make them shorter, to boost the ogre's stockiness.

We need a metaphor for the word flimsy. A house of cards works great. We start drawing lines: one on top, two in the middle, three at the bottom. Next we connect the lines so they form cards. All that's left is to draw the suits and color in the backs.

For a starfish we'll need some serious preparation. If you have nothing to erase with, just do the listed steps mentally. Place a dot in the center and five dots at equal distance around it. Ideally, the distances between two neighboring dots around the central one should be the same. Connect the side dots to the central one. Place a dot between the lines at an equal small distance from the central one. That's it for the preparation. If you did this in your head — hopefully it worked out for you. All that's left is to connect the far dots to the near ones with a slightly curved line, and you get a star. After that, all the auxiliary dots and lines can be erased (or forgotten). For beauty, you can add some patterns.

Overall, you could just draw a rectangle, say it's Charlie Chaplin's mustache, and call it a day. However, the more dashing a mustache we draw, the easier it will be to tell that it's a mustache. Start with the left side of the mustache, then add an almost identical one on the right. If you feel like it, add shading or color. And there you have a mustache.

Let's start with the sausage. The top part will be visible, but the bottom won't, so let's draw only the top. Then the bottom part of the bun, the top part of the bun, and sauce to taste.

Let's start by drawing a plate. Then we'll add a sheet of nori, a marinated egg, neatly sliced pieces of meat, noodles, and pour broth over everything. The result will be ramen.

Let’s start drawing the bell with symmetrical arcs of its sides. Then add the handle on top, and at the bottom— the rounded edge and the protruding clapper.

I'm gonna tell you my favorite food It's perfect after a show I wanna tell you about amazing food I can eat it late at night Ramen noodles charge the power Ramen noodles tomorrow again In drawing, the main thing is to understand the pattern: horizontal strokes alternate with vertical ones, and the curves of the strokes change as well. Fill a cube with such strokes — and you get a brick of noodles.

“Awl” goes back to Old English æl / awel, meaning a pointed tool for making holes. We'll start by drawing the handle. It looks like a cylinder, narrowing toward one side to make it more comfortable to hold. From the narrow side comes the blade, and to make it hold better, there's a metal ring around the base.

This is the fifth version of the robot for my son Ivan's birthday cake. For his first birthday, I drew a little robot, and now every year the robot grows along with him. Also checkout MK IV.

Cigarettes look cool in movies. The smoke and all that. The trouble is, every year they kill far more people than wars, murders, and accidents combined. Creepy. If there were some thing that let you blow smoke beautifully but had no other effect whatsoever, I might give smoking a try. And drawing a cigarette is easy — a cylinder, the filter separated by an arc, and a wisp of smoke from the tip.

Capybara is a giant hamster from America that loves to swim. The shape of its head, if you look at it from the side, is very rectangular. Its body is fluffy, but its paws are not.

A paper clip is, at first glance, a simple thing. A piece of wire, bent three times. But you can't bend wire that evenly by hand. It took the Industrial Revolution and machinery to make it possible to create a paper clip. And yet its design hasn't changed since it was first made. When drawing, the key is to turn at the right places. It took me three tries to get it.

Remember LITTLE MAX 1, the road warrior with enhanced smallness? A whole year has passed. Say hello to: LITTLE MAX 2!

A neuron is a device for processing information. It receives a bunch of signals through dendrites, and if it decides there are enough of them, it passes them on through the axon. Nothing complicated. But if you connect them into a really large crowd, they can send that signal in the right direction and transform it in a way that strongly resembles intelligence. We'll start drawing with an oval nucleus. Around it, we'll draw a body with a crown of dendrites that look like pointed branches. We'll add a long axon tail covered with ovals of the myelin sheath. It ends in a tree of projections that resemble branches with flat tips. The result is a quite recognizable neuron.

Hammer consists of a head and a handle. The head has two sides — one for driving nails in, and the other for pulling them out. The handle has only one purpose, so drawing it is even simpler.

Today we're going to draw a socket, and to keep things interesting, we'll draw four of them right away, plus the plugs to go with them. Let's start with a regular electrical outlet. Mine currently looks like this: two contact holes in the center, and grounding at the top and bottom. You can plug in the cord either way. Nothing unusual. Next up is USB Type-A. It's famous for being impossible to insert the right way on the first try. Either the second time, or the third. Now — USB Type-C. It's great in every way. Works for everything, and you can plug it in either side. Really, it has only one drawback — all the other USB connector standards. And finally — jack. It has no sides at all, you can plug it in any way you want. The one downside is that it takes up a lot of space inside the device because it's long. I once had a phone with a 2.5 mm jack (which is 1 mm smaller than the usual one). I spent a year looking for headphones for it and never found any. Since then I've been using wireless ones.

Earlier, cameras used to shoot on film, now they shoot on a sensor, but that doesn't change the essence. You need a hole for the light to come through, covered by a lens, a viewfinder, a few buttons, and a spot for a flash on top. Nothing complicated: just circles, rectangles, and lines.

The anvil is needed to shape hot metal, so it has different surfaces: a flat face and a curved horn. We will start drawing with those. Then we will add the base and the legs. And that is it, nothing complicated.
