The Crate of Realism: bones, skulls, shells, rocks, and rusty old stuff
On Friday we drew from real life! First we focused on the roundness and contours of a pumpkin. Then everyone selected an object from the 'crate of realism'--shells, skulls, bones, rocks, and rusty old stuff. Although it was challenging at first I saw big breakthroughs in accurate, natural looking sketches. Alec's drawing of the coyote skull spun off into a cool drawing that's posted in eXpReSsiOn sEsSiOn. Check it out!
This week's drawing challenge (if you have time, of course): Find an object from the classroom or your backpack. Select this object specifically for its different textures. For example, show the fabric of a jacket or piece of cloth (try shading the areas where it folds), or the roughness of a piece of wood, or the difference between shiny and rough metal. Show textures by using tones, cross-hatching, jagged lines, wavy lines, or broken lines. Have fun!
We've got some fun experiments on Friday (it's the last day of the course). See you then! --Rob
