A pair of glasses with one folded arm

Practice a pair of eyeglasses with clear forms and selected overlaps. Extend one arm backward and fold the other behind a lens. Keep the hinge connections simple and clear. Add narrow frame thickness and tiny shadows at the bridge and arm joins. Leave the lenses clear.

A way into the drawing

1. Pair the lens frames

   Draw two rounded rectangular frames at the same perspective angle. Join them with a short bridge.

2. Fold one arm

   Extend one arm backward and fold the other behind a lens. Keep the hinge connections simple and clear.

3. Accent the overlaps

   Add narrow frame thickness and tiny shadows at the bridge and arm joins. Leave the lenses clear.

A small thing to tryKeep both lenses similar in height even when the farther one is narrower in perspective.
