Ok, I decided to keep updates on Saturdays only because of school work. The updates might become irregular over time as my studying and drawing for my class become more intense.
Also, I was unable to take pictures of the drawing exercises due to technical difficulties (camera won't work) but I do have thumbnails and notes as an example of what we do in Drawing 100:

| Thumbnails are a helpful drawing tool used to analyze the composition. Here I draw the still life in a few thumbnails. The thumbnails are created by using the viewfinder, which is another drawing tool used to analyze the composition and is a smaller version of the 18x24 paper I used for the artworks. What I look for in the thumbnails are a variety of lines (horizontal, vertical, diagonal, and curvilinear), size of the objects, and changes in rhythm and flow in the composition. When I'm satisfied with the thumbnail, I bisect it, draw boxes around the subjects in the drawing, and do the same to the large 18x24 paper for my final artwork. After bisecting the large paper, I draw boxes, which can be any size according to the thumbnail, on it and begin to use sight and measuring tools to scale and draw the subject as accurately as I can. This, the sighting and measuring process in creating the drawing, and drawing in the details takes about 10-15 hours to finish the artwork. |
