Torus-Shaped Objects - Ran Art Blog

Torus is a complex object.
This is based on my new guide for torus drawing.

Its basic shape is like a cylinder outside, and an eye inside.

The reason is overlapping.
Meaning, the front is hiding part of the back.

Because there are no lines in nature, to render it, use brightness value.

Torus-like objects

Some complex shapes share the characteristics of a torus.
Though it is a continuous shape, it curves.
The curving creates a front (red) part that overlaps the back (blue).

When rendering, sometimes the outlines of the shape are also the highlight or shadow.

Organic shapes

Like man-made objects, organic objects (which are more abstract) share the same characteristics.

Once you get used to the overlapping of the curve, you can draw from imagination.

Complex drawing

When drawing from imagination, a mastery in perspective drawing is needed.
That way, you can draw any object from any angle.

In the example below, I rendered the drawing using artist grade markers.

Here is the faucet again.
First the outlines.

And the graphite render.
