The class considered the way that both artists conveyed movement in these works. Students will piece of work from a photograph of a moving figure. They began by lightly sketching the basic image to fill a canvass of paper. Students were then given a piece of stiff card and some thinly rolled out printing ink. They inked the edge of the menu and began to print the structure of the effigy over their pencil lines, using potent angular edges and lines to define the structure of the body and create a sense of dynamic motility.
Students were encouraged to extend the lines of the body into the background in social club to fragment the space. They were also shown how to scrape the inked card over the surface of the paper in order to create sweeping and gestural marks that conveyed a sense of free energy and motion.

LINE ART

LINE Art

A line is a marker made past a pointed tool – such as a pencil, pen, or sticks. People use lines to write words and artists describe lines with pencils or other tools to make a film. Lines can also be constitute in nature – on a zebra or a tiger, in tree branches, in a spider's web, or in tall grass.

Many tools can exist used to make lines. Some tools or materials brand their own marks; others can exist dipped into ink or pigment to brand lines. Lines can be thick, thin, curved, athwart, loopy, broken, light, and dark.

Some other kinks of lines are contour lines which define the outline of something showing the edges of forms and shapes. Hatching are lines drawn at an bending and parallel or close together and cross-hatching are parallel lines that cross each other; these are often used to show form or value on a shape. Gestural lines point movement and could be used to prove a lawn tennis player hitting a ball or a batter swinging. Implied lines could be dots or small dashes. Expressive lines are heavy or light lines to give a stronger or lighter significant in a line.

Students volition create a distorted drawing of a portrait, combing unlike types of lines: straight, curved, angular, thick, sparse, hatching, and cross-hatching and a touch of colour

POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE SPACE WITH HUMANS

POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE Infinite WITH HUMANS

Positive and negative space play an important role in determining the overall composition in a work of art. By understanding positive and negative infinite and applying your knowledge, you can become more successful in designing your compositions.

What is Positive and Negative Space?
Just put, positive space is best described as the areas in a work of art that are the subjects, or areas of interest. Negative space is area around the subjects, or areas of interest.

Take a look at the image below.

For example, do you run across faces or a vase?

If you lot are seeing a vase, then you are seeing the white area as the positive space. The blackness areas become the negative space. If you lot are seeing faces, then yous are seeing the black areas as the positive space, and the white area as the negative space.

Purpose of the exercise:
This exercise builds on the educatee'southward power to run into and draw edges past introducing the student to one of the most important skills in drawing: seeing and cartoon negative spaces. Negative spaces are of import for three reasons:
1. Seeing negative spaces makes it piece of cake to draw hard views, especially foreshortened views. Negative spaces build on the concept of edges in drawings as shared edges: if you draw the negative spaces around a foreshortened form, you volition have inadvertently also fatigued the form and the student volition notice that it is drawn correctly.
2. An emphasis on negative spaces strengthens and improves the unity of the student'due south compositions.
3. Focusing on negative space causes the linguistic communication mode of the brain to drop out, allowing access to the visual brain fashion, which is suited to the task of drawing.

Postal service- practice remarks:
From the epitome the educatee just created, I am sure they can encounter the power of negative and positive infinite drawings.
Drawing that emphasize negative spaces are a pleasure to look at, perhaps because the limerick are stiff (emphasis on negative spaces always improves the composition) and the spaces and shapes are unified, meaning that equal attention has been paid to both

INTRODUCTION TO STIPPLING

INTRODUCTION TO STIPPLING TECHNIQUE IN INK

Today, I'd like to talk nigh a very powerful technique for graphic art and tell you virtually the basics and practical tips. Stippling, is an amazing method of creating visual effects in ink drawings.

Note: dot fine art is also known as pointillism.

This technique is merely magical! With the use of stippling, you can create shine transitions of value in your drawing and make velvety textures with the highest heart appeal.

In short, all you have to do is to leave dots on paper. The more dots you lot add, the darker the surface area of your drawing becomes.

A combination of dots of various dimensions looks quite impressive. This simple play a trick on too helps to refine the details of the texture. However, it's necessary to see to it that your dots are of a predictable width, not random. In other words, y'all have to command the drawing process and learn how to draw with your tool with equal force per unit area onto the paper. This habit builds up with deliberate grooming.

For a start, apply a pen or a liner of a constant width (0.3 – 0.5 is admittedly awesome).

Small details really make a difference. Even the shift and twist of the paper on your desk relatively to you paw affects the character of your dots. The aforementioned goes for the angle of your tool relatively to the paper (try to vary it, and y'all volition see).

Make lite touches with the tool onto the paper. If y'all exert you paw while drawing, it won't brand any good. If you have to create big bold dots, it'due south a ameliorate idea to take a tool with a wider tip that makes such dots naturally.

Try to place your dots a bit chaotically – this texture feels more natural. Sometimes it's necessary to continue order and place dots in an even row, but these cases are relatively rare.

Every bit a conclusion, I would like to encourage you to practice stippling and experiment with information technology. We normally don't employ this technique singly just mix it with lines and hatching (these are more straightforward, concrete, and sometimes even aggressive).

Introduce or review value/shading. Perhaps brand value scales. Constitute that shading can exist blended and smooth, textured, or hatched (or cross-hatched).
1. Have 12" square newspaper prepared. Accept students measure out and make a 2" filigree. Lightly describe the grid.
2. Name/ID goes in the upper left square. Students choose two four letter words. I goes across, one goes down. They have to be "Chiliad" rated. The last square is blank.
3. Introduce or review composition, and dynamic residual.
4. Use the letter shapes to fill in the grid. Each square should be a good limerick and the whole grid should be a practiced limerick. For this reason shapes should be closed, with no lines that do not brand office of a shape.
5. Use all the values to shade the shapes. Create a remainder of light and nighttime, smooth and textured-or any parameters you lot need to utilize.
6. View the finished drawings with only the shaded grid showing.
TIPS:
1. Words with messages that have rounded shapes work amend than words with messages that have all straight lines. For example, Discussion will work better than TELL.
2. Using all capital messages works best.
3. Having pencils with a variety of soft and difficult leads makes information technology easier, but it tin can be done with just #2 pencils.

WET-ON-WET TECHNIQUE

Using a CLEAN large watercolor castor lightly paint the tree circles with Make clean h2o.

Echo until the circles are evenly saturated, the circles should have a dull satin finish.

If your paper is shiny later on soaking in the water, the paper is too wet. Use a clean sponge and dab off excess water.

The initial strokes you lay down in a wet-in-moisture painting lengthened and disperse widely in and on the moist paper. Watch your strokes spread every bit y'all paint.

Equally the paper continues to dry out the painted strokes spread less and less.

FINAL THOUGHTS

The educatee then can drip a few drops of clean water in the centre of some of the circles to let them spread and mingle in a different look.

One of the hardest parts in working exclusively in this technique is knowing when to finish. You cannot get fine details initially and as you go along working the previous washes you've layered in proceed to spread, mix, and mingle which may muddied some colors if you are not careful.

Wet-in-wet watercolor technique at times frustrating, merely always exciting. There is host of hypnotic possibilities every bit the paint spreads and mingles on your moisture paper.

HUMAN FACE

Portraits that are done past my students are consider by them as one of the almost difficult tasks in Art I, only all drawings require the aforementioned basic component skills that they have been studying: encounter edges, space, relationships, lights, and darks. The existent problem can be that each of the students have a strongly embedded, memorized gear up of what the man face should look like, developed during babyhood. Setting this aside is the most hard part.

As I e'er country to my students, "Draw what you see, not what you think it should look like."

Most artists brand the greatest number of changes at the beginning of a drawing. Therefore information technology is important to draw lightly at first, as lightly fatigued lines are easier to erase. If you go the right human relationship betwixt the eyes, nose and mouth, you will end upwards with a skillful likeness.

In that location are three bones stages in the creation of this image:

Stage 1 is using the cross pilus and dot method to organize the position, shape and proportion of the features. Stage two is using softly shaded tones to create the form and texture of each feature. Stage three is refining the tone to unite all the elements of the portrait.

Nigh artists make the greatest number of changes at the start of a drawing. Therefore information technology is important to draw lightly at first, as lightly drawn lines are easier to erase. If you get the correct human relationship between the eyes, nose and mouth, you will end up with a good likeness.

INK LINE Cartoon

INK LINE Cartoon

Pen and ink drawing describes the procedure of using pens to apply ink to a surface. There is an countless amount of pen and ink techniques. On this project, we will cover the basics of pen and ink drawing techniques, tools, and materials. Some of the materials you may need to create an ink drawing include cartoon pens, graphite pencil, eraser, newspaper towel, and a cartoon surface.

Drawing with pen and ink allows the artist to create strong areas of contrast. About ink drawings are completed using black inks on white surfaces which leads to heavy dissimilarity in value. Many artists choose to exploit this contrast. Others, even so notice it difficult to create gradations in value for this reason.

How to Depict With Pen and Ink

Cartoon techniques used with ink tin can be as varied as the artists that apply them. At that place are, of course, a few that are used with some frequency. Permit's take a look at hatching.

Hatching

Hatching is a technique used to add value in a linear fashion. The lines used in hatching mostly go in the aforementioned management for a divers area. When hatching is used, the lines do not cross over each other. (Although cross hatching tin be used in combination with hatching) Hatching lines tin be parallel or they can be used equally cross contour lines to aid define the grade of the object. The closer the lines are to each other, the darker the value. The more space between the lines, the lighter the value.

Draw the hair as one large shape. Add some shading under the bangs. Pilus creates shadows on the skin, and then this will assist continue the bright white of the newspaper from shining through.

Apply quick pencil marks going in the direction of the hair. Watch how it goes down from the acme where the office is, and upwardly from the lesser of the bangs, Go along applying the pencil lines until it starts to fill in. You can kind of meet the "band of light" starting to form where the pencil lines don't quite meet. Keep your lines smooth, do not scribble.

Eyes are cute! They are my favorite things to depict. An entire drawing tin be made around a single centre.

Go an ordinary pencil and describe the outline of the heart hole and eyelid using the cross hair and dot method, It doesn't have to be too detailed or shaded yet.

Modify to a darker sketching pencil. I used 4B on mine, but you tin can use any blazon of pencil. Y'all outset of past drawing the outline of the iris - information technology's not quite a whole circle shape unless you lot're drawing someone with a shocked face. When y'all're happy with that, brand a start of drawing the educatee. Think the pupil should exist close to the center of the centre, merely the iris doesn't take to be at the center of the eye. You can also draw a reflection of a window or light or something if you want to, merely that is optional.

And then you shade the border of the iris actually night and and then ane/iii of the manner down, alloy information technology slightly and then the edge goes a bit lighter. Then if you've done a reflection, you need to shade darkly around that. Once you lot've done that, shade the height a bit more than lightly and carry on until the corner then it looks a fleck like a slanted triangle.

Alter back to an ordinary pencil if you used a different ane and underneath the shaded office under the reflection, do part of the iris. Don't do it in little section, draw it lightly in quick long strokes and go over them a few times. Yous may not be able to tell because of the pic quality but next to that yous need to describe a smaller part of iris around the inside edge of it, merely use the technique of moving the pencil in dissimilar directions - don't just shade upward and downwards or side to side, make it look cracking, only messy.

Shade around the educatee like yous did with the outline of the inner iris in, but with an ordinary pencil. You only need to do it a piddling bit, quite small. After you've done that, you brand the iris look like information technology'south getting darker, by pressing a tiny bit harder and sketching in different directions. You need to make it longer than the bit you merely shaded though. The image should be big enough to explain. Once you have washed this, you go dorsum to the office of the iris underneath the reflection and add together a very small bit of the shading in different directions using a darker pencil.

At the tiptop, right hand side of the iris you need to shade in darkly with a normal pencil, diagonally, so it looks similar the iris is going around and not simply colored otherwise information technology won't look so realistic. Then you need to shade effectually very lightly around the residuum of the iris - shading in directly lines, but going around the student.

Add together some eyelashes. Describe really small rounded of lines forth the bottom of the eye for the lashes at the bottom and longer lines at the top for the longer eyelashes. They should be the same height at the eyelid, but you can exercise them longer if y'all desire.

3. Medium Grey This is called a halftone, because information technology isn't light and it isn't dark.
4. Light Gray This is the hardest chemical element to come across, but it is probably the most important i to have in your artwork. It is called reflected calorie-free. It is light that bounces up onto the ball for the table it'southward sitting on, and all of the light behind it.
5. White This is the full light area. It is where the calorie-free is the strongest. It is where the white of the newspaper is left exposed.
Don'ts:

Don't outline your circle

Don't utilize scribble lines. They cannot be blended out.

Don't get to dark to fast.

Don't lose the reflected light on the border.

Shading a Sphere:

GRADUATED TONE Do 1
GRADUATED TONE Do 1

The pencil shading do explored on this page is called 'graduated tone'. It is a drawing technique which can exist used to create a strong sense of space and grade. It is a very useful skill to develop for both pencil and color pencil drawings.
1. Apply a darker grade (B or 2B) of pencil for your shading. Lighter grades (H, 2H etc.) will not give enough depth to your darkest tones.
2. Merely start by shading the area yous wish to be dark and slowly build up the tone. Every bit y'all work towards the light, gradually ease the pressure on your pencil until you can no longer run across the mark it makes.
3. You then patiently repeat this procedure several times, edifice up a depth to the shading, adjusting any irregular areas and trying to keep the tonal changes as smoothen as possible until you achieve the variation and intensity of tone that y'all want.

STIPPLING VS. HATCHING

STIPPLING VS. HATCHING

Stippling

Stippling is the use of dots to create shading and texture in painting and drawing.

The closer the dots, the darker the subject will exist. This is handy for shading. To create a look of gradual shading, the artist only has to make the dots closer and closer as the lighting fades to go a shaded wait.
Stippling can also create the look of texture. If the dots are irregular in shape, this can brand the object wait rough.

This form of shading creates an optical illusion when don correctly. To the viewer, the shading will well-nigh look like ane smooth application of medium and the dots volition merely be obvious when viewed very closely. From far away no dots will be apparent.

Hatching

Hatching is created when non-crossing lines are used to signal the value on or around an object. The value added to the object is dependent on the location of a light source. More than marks are added in the areas of core shadow and cast shadow, while less marks should be in lighter areas.

When hatching is used, the lines fatigued generally go in the same direction and are mostly parallel with each other. Sometimes, the lines may curve slightly or fifty-fifty a cracking bit depending on the contours of the object. Lines of this nature are referred to as cross contour lines.

When used correctly, cross profile lines can further the illusion of form by giving the viewer data about the bodily three-dimensional qualities of the object.
By changing the frequency of the use of line, and the corporeality of space betwixt the lines, the artist tin create a full range of value in the drawing. Assuming that an artist is working on white newspaper, more space between the lines (more paper showing) will lead to lighter values in the drawing. Less infinite between lines volition naturally pb to darker values in the drawing.

Color PENCIL FISH Cartoon

Colour PENCIL FISH DRAWING

Students will develop an understanding of colored pencil equally an art medium and a means of personal expression. Acquire a diversity of colored pencil techniques.

Delivery:

one. Tips before Beginning:

a. Always kickoff with LIGHT pressure strokes

b. Colored pencils work best when applied in thin layers.

ii. Ways to Use the Colored Pencil:

a. Circular or Oval Stroke: using calorie-free pressure, depict tiny overlapping circles or ovals that practice not take whatever space in betwixt them. The goal is an even coat of colored pencil over the fish design. This is the almost effective way to create even layers.

b. Linear Stroke: using low-cal pressure, draw linear strokes going in the aforementioned direction with no infinite in betwixt the strokes. The goal is an even coat of colored pencil over the fish pattern. If you can see space between your stroked, go back and fill in with more line or apply linear strokes going in the opposite direction.

3. Stroke Pressure: The amount of pressure you identify on the pencil directly affects the tonal value laid on the newspaper. It is very important to learn to control the amount of pressure you apply when using colored pencils. It is best to begin with soft or lite pressure, slowly building the layers until the final layer looks bright & vibrant (usually ending with the burnishing technique).

four. Gradation: Using the stroke pressure method, create a value scale on the fish design that smoothly transitions from light todark values of i color. Nosotros should see not "streaks" or pencil lines. Start off with very light pressure and slowly increase in pressure as y'all motion along the project

5. Shade: A shade is the darker value of a colour. Information technology is made past mixing the color with blackness, chocolate-brown or a darker color of what you lot are all ready using. Apply a light layer of a color downwards over the fish design then lightly become over the colour with a blackness, dark-brown or the darker color of the colored pencil. To brighten it, go over the box with the original colour with harder force per unit area.

half dozen. Burnishing with Colored Pencils: Burnishing refers to applying layers of pencil until the tooth of the paper is completely filled in with colored pencil, and a polish, shiny surface is created.It has an nearly paint-similar finish. To burnish, layer multiple colors and and then finish by applying heavy pressure level with a low-cal color pencil. The wax will meld together filling upwards the entire molar ofthe paper'due south surface. *Burnish your light areas outset and then that yous do not elevate any dark pigment where you don't want it.

7. Blend ii Colors together: Have the first color & describe in the color changing the pressure applied from somewhat heavy to very light. At present take the second colour & from the other side blending into the first colour. Continue process until the blending is fifty-fifty.
