Tips for Drawing the Earth
Learning how to draw the earth, in a somewhat realistic fashion, is admittedly no small task. Anyone can easily get lost in all the intricate edges of the large land masses, let alone the small ones.
On the other hand, drawing a blue circle with a green blob might do when in a rush, but I’m here to say that it’s not that hard to do something a little bit better.
This tutorial breaks down the land masses into smaller steps, by slowly going around all those edges. Remind your students that it needn’t be perfect, anything a little closer to the original is going to look just fine.
The good news is that most students will most likely add the amount of detail that they are capable of seeing at the moment. Those that know where Cuba and Ireland are, for instance, can include them, while those that are just thinking about getting the basic shape of North America right will be fine concentrating on that. Any effort to look at the detail and appreciate our beautiful and interconnected planet is a good thing!
P.S. A thoughtful reader from Australia reminded me that there are lots of young artists on the other side of the world too, and they might appreciate an earth tutorial that covers their hemispere also. I finally got a chance to may that update, so now the download includes both.
