Never drawn in 3D before? In this beginner workshop, you’ll learn the extrusion technique, also called projection, and turn a flat lightning bolt into a solid 3D form using one point perspective. Four simple steps, one vanishing point, and you’ll have a finished, shaded bolt on your page. This is Part 1.

Part 2 covers two point perspective and isometric views.
