now what we can do, is we can try some different technique
for deconstructing the drawing, we can deal with the line, tone and shape.
so what I'm going to do now, i'm just going to show you
very quickly few different techniques
what we can do is we can maybe work with one continuous line
don't lift your hand off the paper
try and vary the pressure
this is not about making perfect drawings, this is really very very good exercise to loosen up
to explore different mark making.
and if you see that you don't like something, you can always change it
we don't need to use erasers here and we should really be as open as fluid as we possibly can
another thing that we can try here would be to address the tone individually
so im just going to go and very gently build
whole face, or a figure in our case, but I am going to go for face for the time
for this one its very important not to have any outlines that you will fill in with shading
just really work in a circular motion and gently build up new shapes.
and you end up with something which will be a very very
ghostly looking silhouette. Vary your pressures, you can build up the tone.
and this would be an interesting technique to try
another thing that we can do, we can just work with negative space
now maybe I can do this, in a way we only end up with a sihouette
empty silhouette
kind of like this one, just in reverse. this is very useful for fashion drawing and for the figures
another thing I can do is maybe combine the negative space and tone
so im building the shapes with shade, again not worrying about it too much, but I'm also
leaving some spaces out
another good and fun thing to do could be if we try and maybe draw with both hands at the same
time
not like yin yang but really intersecting
note, these techniques will help you address the drawing
from a different perspective.
