Drawing
Approach
Get
a visual plan for placement of focus points or subjects of interests within the
picture plain
Make
marks for large shape, envelope, to see how top, bottom and sides outer most extremities
relate to each other
Divide
larger shape into smaller portions, analyzing large proportional relationships
stay
away from establishing any particular details or complete outlines. Instead keep your marks light and soft. That will allow you to focus on larger relationships
of proportions and freedom to change any part as needed. Use relatively strait lines while blocking in
larger shapes, it will allow you to abstract the shapes into simpler, easier to
compare shapes and edges.
Use
horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines across the shapes to see whether all
points of reference line up in your drawing the same way as on a model. once all large shapes figured out, consider
using simple volumetric forms (boxes and cylinders) to double check placement
of blocked in outer edges and sizes of all parts. Planes of forms and inner corners will create
clear sense of orientation of all forms in space.
Use
structural lines, like center line, and or skeletal landmarks to block in
anatomical structure of the body.
Find
for shadow edge and casting shadow to separate light and shadow. It helps to give unifying tone to all areas
of shadow. It is important not to
confuse shadow with dark areas of middle tones(middle light) and local value(the
actual value of the object)
At
this point you should have a clear map of all shapes and you can focus on mark
for outlines and inner corners.
Sharp
light lines should be used for areas
with light value against light background. Contracting dark lines should be
used where values will get dark, such as shadow edges. Make sure to vary softness and hardness of
edges. Core shadow edges will be dark
and soft on round surfaces and sharp on sharp corners. Variation of lines will describe form better
than accurate shapes or outlines would.
