Which option shows the correct shape-based drawing process?

First basic shapes, then proportion, then detail

A shape-based drawing process begins by understanding the whole object in simple forms. The artist first blocks in basic shapes such as circles, rectangles, cylinders, or ovals. Next, the artist checks proportion, meaning the relative size and position of each part, and adjusts the construction. Only after the structure is correct should smaller features and fine details be added. This method makes the drawing easier to control and reduces major errors.

Option A is correct because it follows the logical order: basic shapes, proportion, and then detail. Starting with detail can make the drawing look busy while the overall structure remains inaccurate. Colouring before observing and constructing the object also does not solve the form. Removing the subject after making a frame is not a drawing process. Therefore, building from simple forms to accurate proportions and details makes A the correct choice.
