-They all try to communicate something
-The artists do more than try to reproduce the world realistically

do you
want
others
Hyper-realism
to see?
exciting
Flavourful and delicate
juicy playful
1. The basic shape
2. A refined contour line
TIP: Sketch quickly smoothly lightly 10 mins
Go slowly
and look at
details
Densify lines
to make tone Black shadow
makes a
good contrast
Continuous Contour Left handed
(don’t take your pen (simplify, Just
the edges) Or any others you know…..
off the paper)
Challenge – Apply tones and texture
TIP: press hard/soft to make thick/thin lines 10 mins
Layer colours
to blend
Add a lot of water first them
The colours may bleed into each other
Leave areas
white for
highlight
Ink/Water colour Felt pen Pencil Colour
Challenge – Apply tones and texture 10 mins
TIP: You don’t need to always choose the most obvious colours
What Mood do you think your peers have created?
How do you know?
Complete a detailed pencil study of one natural object.
It must: - be A4 in size
- be drawn from an interesting angle
- include a full tonal range
- include as much accurate texture as possible
- be as accurate as possible
You can choose: - the media you use (pencil, biro, fine liner, coloured pencil, ink)
- what you draw on…..
Lesson 5 and 6
Learning Objective:
-To draw from observation recording detail
-Know and practice the drawing process
Put the drawing
process in order
Step …: Looking
LOOK at the object you are drawing.
THINK about what shapes make up
the object.
In the drinks can above, you can see that it's made of circles and a rectangle.
Step 2: Measuring stage
MEASURE how big to draw the
shapes, do not use a ruler.
SKETCH lightly, do not press hard.
EVALUATE Is it correct? Make
changes if you need
to.
Step …: Building stage
ADD DETAILS Improve the drawing,
looking at the shapes inside the
shapes
BUILD the drawing, measuring and
sketching lightly
EVALUATE Is it correct? Will I need
to alter
anything?
Step …: Detail Stage
DETAIL Look for the fine details now
and add as much as you can see.
FINISH Are you going to paint your
design? Or shade it with pencil?
Perhaps you want to experiment with
art materials, collage,
etc
Step …: value Stage
LOOK at where the light is coming from
Begin where the DARKEST areas are
Use a FULL TONAL RANGE to give depth
Step …: Shadows and Highlights Stage
BUILD up more darker tones
Use a rubber to TAKE AWAY pencil for highlights
-Choose a one natural object to
draw in more detail.
-Try to draw from an interesting
perspective on a table or surface
in front of you.
-Draw onto brown paper.
-Sketch the basic shapes, then
press harder to build the detail of
the object into a more complex
drawing. Add tone, shading and
texture
What is the most successful part of your work?
Where have you spent the most time?
Which part did you find the most difficult?
Which part would you improve?
If you had to do this drawing again and use a different media, what would you use?
What questions do
What did you already know? you have?
What new
things have
you leaned?
Something that squares with Something that triangulates It goes around and around
you with you
