How can we make our drawings more realistic by getting accurate proportions of objects?
ASSIGNMENT PART A:
Proportion
Proportion refers to the relationship of parts of a form to one another and of the parts to the whole.
​
In your sketchbook title a page "Proportion + Sighting"
Write a definition for proportion. Practice sketching the arrangement of forms using the sighting technique.
-
Draw lightly
-
Draw objects in correct proportion to each other
-
and correctly spaced from each other
-
Your object of origin should be drawn on your sketchpage about the size of your fist.
Assignment Part B: Shade the forms. Refer back to your sketchbook notes to review what you did well yesterday with shading practice and a goal you set for yourself today.
Remember to:
​
____ Start loosely - hold pencil to side, move from shoulder
____ Gradually and smoothly vary the pressure on our pencil to create a range of values
____ Evenly shade the form with consistent strokes following the contour of the form
____ Capture the primary highlight (white of paper, midtones, core shadow, cast shadow and reflected light.
____ Include table or paper edge, surrounding space values, note that cast shadows have multiple values.
