Welcome to Stinky's Art Class. We have the best students in the world. Todays lesson is how to draw a key.
Good morning people and welcome to Stinky's Art Class where we have the best students in the world! Today's lesson is how to draw a key.

Okay, let's jump right into this one. So first thing we want to do is we want to draw the key. So you start with a straight line like this to kind of give you some perspective on your canvas, right?
And then you got to draw the lock. Okay, the locks. This is going to be an old fashioned door deluxe. Kind of like this. And see if we can do that without going out of the lines. You know, sometimes it's not easy to stay in the lines when you're drawing. Okay, so there's the key. And let's do some perspective here. There's the door and let's do the doorknob.
Okay. There's the doorknob and there's the keyhole. Okay, so let's get back to the key here. Alright, so this is the top of the key. And this is one of those old timey keys.
Okay, lips like two teeth. Okay and then you got to look the part where you hold on the key like this. And that key is going to unlock the door. But this just doesn't feel quite right. So let's put some perspective on this. Let's do this door so it looks like it's interesting isn't it? Okay, then let's do this. Looks like it's a floating key? Like some ghost has it, right?
So let's go ahead and put some fingers on it. And then we need to do our fingers. See class? A simple lesson like this can, you know, really turn out good. And I think that's all we need to do today. But what do you guys think?
How to draw a key? Seems like we could do a little bit better job, but it's a simple lesson today. We don't want to overload because we got lots more lessons to work on. So yeah, we could definitely work on this a bit more. Maybe we'll come back to this later. Sometimes it's okay to work on a project, work on a piece of art, work on a drawing and you know, you say, "hey, I like where it's going, but, you know, I need some time to just let it sit and, you know, come back to it later." Right?
And this is one of those times where, you know, I've been working on my art. I drew the key. I've got some other things in the lesson, like the door and the hand and some things could use some more work. Right? But sometimes you just need to set it down, let it rest, let your mind rest on it and then just come back later at a different time and finish it up.
That's what's happening right now. So, with that being said, don't be afraid. You know, we're all trying to rush and get our art done, get it up, get it in the galleries, get it in the, you know, wherever you display your art, sell it, whatever you do. But it's okay. Take a break. If you need to take a step back, get a fresh perspective and then start over. Maybe the next day.
Alright class, good work. See you soon. Class dismissed. Wait for the next epic lesson to be launched here soon. Thanks, bye.
