The Drawing Process:
|
GESTURE:
Your gestures should be very quick. They help understand Form and begin planning your composition. NOTE IMAGE IS FROM: http://orig04.deviantart.net/79c0/f/2011/053/1/0/gesture_drawing___apple_by_butterflyfiredragon-d3a5syl.jpg |
|
CONTOUR:
A contour drawing is just the outlines. This helps us plan out the composition, specifically positive and negative space. Contours also prepare us for our sketches. NOTE IMAGE IS FROM: http://f.tqn.com/y/drawsketch/1/S/b/C/apple-contour.jpg |
|
CONTOUR DRAWING WITH CROSS CONTOUR LINES:
You may add (although not required) Cross contour lines. This would help show form. NOTE IMAGE IS FROM: https://lesliepaints.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/crosscontour4.jpg |
|
SKETCH:
A sketch adds 3-5 values (using any of the 5 techniques). Notice the Highlights, Midtones, Shadows, and even a little Cast Shadow. Our Sketches now show Form, and Value, as well as a developed composition. NOTE IMAGE IS FROM: http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/x/apple-black-white-sketch-14298273.jpg |
|
FINAL DRAWING:
A final drawing has 7 Values. It shows Texture. It looks complete, and realistic. NOTE IMAGE IS FROM: http://mrs-cook.weebly.com/uploads/2/3/0/6/23067164/2084678_orig.jpg |
