Having learned to draw such a piece of furniture as a shelf, you will be able to depict it in the future as an element of any interior you have drawn.
The shelf is a piece of furniture without a front wall, with or without a back wall, designed to accommodate books and other items, souvenirs. Shelves are made from various materials such as solid wood, glass, mirror, metal, stone, and others. They can be equipped with various accessories, such as LED lights. The shelves are hung on the walls with the help of various fasteners, both hidden and carrying a decorative function.
