Nata Drawing Test Questions

Option I

The first attempt looks amazing.

It’s well composed and beautifully rendered.

The perspective view is accurate.

Apart from little mismatch in vegetable proportions, I don’t have much to complain.

OPTION II

When we come to the second attempt here, we can see some serious problems, especially with proportions:

• The proportion of the hand to this vegetable, which is most probably a carrot, is not correct.
• Secondly, in the background, we can see a partial human figure standing next to this house, but the door of the house is shown, even smaller to this human figure.

The above two are the most glaring mistakes in the drawing, which will take away most of the marks.

Apart from this, the drawing is just average or less than average in terms of composition, details, drawing quality and other factors.

OPTION III

Now, we come to the third drawing.

Here, we can see a lot of problems:

• First of all the drawing is incomplete in terms of background, vegetable basket and the human figures.
• The vegetables are scanty. Assuming the vendor is there to sell, there should be at least a few kg of vegetables in the basket.
• The third and the biggest mistakes that will take away majority of marks from the drawing is the inaccuracy of the perspective. As you can see the basket is shown from a top view, as if the caterpillar is somewhere above the basket and not sitting inside it.
• The vegetables look more 2 Dimensional similar to paper cutouts.

The student will not receive passing marks in the above question.
