I need some ideas for my art class sketch book?
For my highschool art class I've got to draw 15 pictures 'about me'. Only, I don't want to draw a bunch of self portraits. Does anybody have any suggestons? They don't have to be terribly specific, but just an idea or two would be helpful.
sketch your favorite pair of shoes/sneakers/raggedy tshirt
a favorite toy
your pet
favorite & detested food/drink
sketch the first thing you see when: you open your eyes in the morning, when you walk out your front door
this sounds like a fun assignment - enjoy
Guidelines for Pencil Portrait Sketching - Sculptural Awareness Mode
There are many modes of sketching: linear, tonal, gestural, etc. In this commentary we will center on carving out shape with a painterly feeling.
This manner of sketching is very much like working with clay except that we are drawing on paper, of course, and using our fingers, a stump, tissue, and the kneaded eraser as our sculpture tools.
As always, begin with drawing the construct and establishing the fundamental proportions of the facial region.
Before hatching-in the primary light/dark patterns you should squint and look at the subject or the photograph. Squinting distills the lights and darks into simple patterns of one given value because it obscures the details.
At this stage, just concern yourself with the big masses, maybe even just two, a light one and a dark one. Do not yet attempt to break down the darks at this stage.
Drawing in this way is also good training for painting because this is how you build up a painting particularly when using the One Stroke method of painting.
Drawing, painting, and sculpture are additive/subtractive enterprises. You first add something and then you take something away, all the while progressing towards the final sketch.
You also will use your kneaded eraser to take out the lights. When doing this pay careful consideration to the anatomical principles; every shape signifies a muscle.
We all have our personal preferences about how we draw. At this stage, you may prefer to improve the construct and hone in on the facial features. Other draftspersons will continue working value-wise without any line work. As you gain experience and grow as an artist you will make your own selections. That is what art making is: selections - bad and good.
Now that we have the fundamentals down including the overall proportions, we can start resolving the darks and the lights. The intent is to go for the "full stretch" of values, i.e., from the darkest darks to the lightest light.
Starting and intermediate draftspersons often fail to go for the full tonal stretch. Quite often the rationale for this is the apprehension of destroying their drawing and also because they have read, or been told, not to overwork the drawing.
As a student you should take a drawing as far as you possibly can, even to the point of collapse. That way you will learn precisely how far you can go. If you always stop short you will never know what lies ahead.
Use your fingers, a tissue, and a stump to blend the values. The best thing is to start dividing each big value mass into two separate smaller masses of different values wherever your observations tell you there is a distinction in value to be made. Keep in mind the varying planes and the anatomy of the model's features.
The hair is kept dark and simple with only a few lines of the kneaded eraser to suggest the unkempt locks of hair. Do not overdo these lines or they will look bleached.
In closing, when employing the painterly manner of sketching a pencil portrait always treat your tools as if they were brushes. Imagine as much as possible that you are painting instead of sketching. Always bear in mind the anatomy and the varying plane directions that you note in your subject. Always draw from the general to the specific or from the large to the small. As you get more skill, try to remember the things that work for you and include them in your style of sketching.
