Correct but forgettable sketches? Melting an everyday product is a playful way to break stiff habits, find dynamic organic forms, and start drawing with your own personality.
In this video, I take a small eye drop bottle and let it melt completely. No physics, no rules, no fear. We begin by drawing the product as it is, then we let it sag, stretch, and pour across the page. Along the way, I show how to find the axis, the symmetry line, and the line of action, how to add contour lines and hatching, and how to build shadows that ground the form.
Melting is not about being messy. It is about training your hand to move freely, so your own choices start to show. Try it with any object near you and see what your hand chooses.
