3/24/2023 0 Comments Easy contour line drawing![]() I've had the same issue with proportions. 4Īs for the proportion, here's what I said to a fellow classmate: I would've liked to see less hard lines (straight lines, sharp edges, tight "corners") and more organic lines (smooth flowing lines/curves). The contour manages to maintain all that detail and hard work in a unified form. You have until 11:59 PM Tuesday 8/3 to upload your work!ĭon't worry too much, these look great! You've infused your drawings with so much personality! Great job. Either scan or photograph your assignment, upload it to, and post the image link in this thread.Įnjoy yourselves! The next lesson will be uploaded Wednesday 8/4, and is about Broad Angles. Above all else, draw very, very slow.ģ) Upload your work. Seriously - if you’re drawing a bottle try to imagine that you’ve never seen one your entire life. Too often new artists get stuck looking at their drawings and barely glance at the subject.Īdvice: Imagine that you’re seeing the subject for the first time in your life. As you’re drawing the still life try to spend at least 70% of the time looking at the subject. In lesson 2 we challenged ourselves to really look at the world and draw what we see (not what we think we see). As you’re drawing be conscious of where you can use heavier (thicker and/or darker) lines to add emphasis or suggest shadow, and light lines to suggest light value. Keep in mind one of lesson 1’s line drawing techniques: weight. ( Keep the tree and background drawing simple, but go be detailed on the deer.)Įxample of the completed contour drawing from the video Remember: you’re not trying to finish, you’re trying to learn. Keep your focus on the photograph for the majority of the time, but occasionally check if you are in the right spot on your paper. SECOND: Copy the deer in a contour drawing but this time you can look at your paper. ![]() Same as last week - this is to get warmed up. We’re going to use the techniques introduced thus far to do a contour drawing of a photograph.įIRST: Spend at least 10 minutes doing a blind contour of the deer ( not the rest of the image). If you have any questions about it please post them in this thread.Ģ) Assignment time. We’re taking last week’s blind contour method and removing the “blind” from it. ![]() (Due to the volume of submissions, only students who started with Lesson 1 will be critiqued and graded.)ġ) Watch the video, Contour Drawing. ![]() A late submission is anything received after 11:59 pm EST on Tuesday. Late Submissions: All late submissions were not critiqued or given a score. Hi, everyone! Great work last week!
