Artist's Comments

quick drawing this afternoon, i got sick of revision and needed the rush:D

how do i describe the joy of drawing on bristol board instead of cheapie school paper? it really does make a world of difference... i'd seriously recommend it:)

tools:
B mechanical pencil (0.5mm),
4B wood graphite pencils,
cotton in various forms,
kneaded eraser,
pathetically low amount of time (5 hrs),
and of course: bristol board:love:


to falling in love with drawing all over again:love:

p.s. comments v. welcome:D

Well, I was in AP Drawing... You're pretty awesome at drawing from flat images... all you need is some re-tooling of your views in order to adapt to from-life drawings.


Rule number one: don't start with drawing yourself, or people you know very well. The less familiar you are with someone's face, the more objective you can be.

Another tip is not always to observe the positive space, but the negative space surrounding it. It helps you get the proportions right and everything...

If you are still having difficulties, it may be because when you're say.... drawing the nose, you might be thinking a little bit too much about what a nose looks like. The way you get past that, is if you instead do not even think about what you are drawing... ocus on the deepest shadows, and the brightest highlights... and then work your way into the middle.




I hope that helps! My fine art never got to quite the same level as my cartooning and such, but it was enough to pass the AP exam.. ;)

Lovely job - and really fast (not that the amount of time should matter)!

I think it's one of your best. :D
