How do you get a picture to look like it's 3 dimentional? I draw alot but lots of my drawings look flat and disconnected. How do I fix this?

Hi! You can add shadows and lights and many times work just fine. If is not enough for you, take a real example and try to do it in 3D, to look at it from perspective, or search on net because you'll see many drawings in 3D and a lot of help to develop your skills.

First of all you must draw what you see not what you think you see. It a training of the eye to see the darks and lights. To keep a drawing of painting from being "flat" you must use strong contrast. Keep in mind dark pushes back and light brings forward. Make a scale of 1"by1" squares. Make about 25 squares. You can start at one end with shading the very lighest you can. Next square-a little darker and so on. Try to make it to the 25th square with out any two squares the same. You can start with the darkest and go lighter. Its harder than you would think. But it will help you control your lights and darks. The most beautiful paintings to me are the ones that have very strong contrast of lights and strong darks. That gives drawings and paintings the 3-D you are looking for . Reasuarch art museums on the internet and look at European paintings of the 18th and 19th centruies. They are the best.

well it would be a lot easier to answer your question if you had some examples. i just shade everything i draw and give it shine in the parts it would have shine. it really depends on what your drawing. everything has to be handled a little differently.

Proper shading will add dimension to your drawings. This is a fairly difficult technique to master but adds greatly to your work.

Look at a lot of artwork that uses perspective. Look at how you draw parallel lines - they're not parallel.

hi,
I am giving you two links here
the first one shows you one created with simple concentric circles and linear lines...this is just smaller and black and white

But when I add a little 'effects' and changed of colour to make more unique it created this interdimensional image

The idea is to bring 'effects' in to add a little life to a 'flat' image, it makes all the difference and most art software programs have them.
There is a lot of depth in my images but they were a slow creation of linear lines, but the simple effect of 'circles' totally changes it
Even hand drawn images scanned onto computer can be manipulated to give life to, either by changing colour or in effects...
Goodluck
