EQ: How do artists learn to draw realistically? How does contrast help
to create realism in drawing? How do value changes create the illusion of form? How does cropping
make a drawing more interesting?
The objectives for this lesson are to create a charcoal drawing
of the still life of objects that have ellipses in their form.
To do this you must:
·
Draw
a thumbnail sketch of your composition in your sketchbook. Ask yourself, what can I emphasize? How can I make an
interesting composition?
·
Use
a willow charcoal (lightest one) to draw your sketch. You are blocking everything is, so draw lightly
in order to erase any mistakes.
·
LOOK
for the lightest light and the darkest dark.
Start building values beginning with the medium value.
·
Identify
where the most contrast is in the piece.
Have you shown that in your drawing.
·
Get
darker more compressed charcoals to create deeper values.
·
Take
your time and observe. All the information in front of you.
