UNIT 1:Intro to Drawing

Realistic Stylized Abstract

3 Main Drawing Styles

3 Main Drawing Styles

•Realistic- the drawing looks like the object

•Stylized- the drawing looks like the object, but is exaggerated somehow

•Abstract- doesn’t depict a person, place, or thing

Using Your Memory

An artist should not rely on his or her memory to draw something realistically!

To draw an object accurately, draw it from life or use a reference image

UNIT 2:Contour Line Drawing

8

Definition & 3 Elements of ArtContour Line =An outline that defines an object

Elements of Art:• Line- Defines the object’s shape,

adds interior details; creates shape and space

• Shape- 2D, or flat; geometric or organic (circle, square, triangle, etc.)

• Space- Taken up by the subject (positive) or lack thereof (negative)

9

Scale vs. Proportion

• Scale- Refers to the size of an object

• Proportion- Part of an object in relation to its whole

10

Drawing Symmetrical Objects

1. Begin by drawing an axis of symmetry line

2. Next, draw circles or ellipses to break up the object’s planes

3. Lastly, use contour lines to establish the shape of the object

11

Drawing Organic Objects with Basic Shapes

Use this technique to maintain scale and proportion

12

Drawing Rectangular Prisms (Boxes)

Check the angles of each part of the box with your pencil (close one eye, and hold pencil in the air)

13

Drawing Multiple ObjectsUse reference lines and measuring with pencil to compare scale and proportion of objects

• What are reference lines?Reference lines made betweenobjects to determine correctscale, proportions, height,spacing, etc. of multiple objects

14

Sketching MediaPencils-• H pencils are preferable because they sketch lighter,

and may be easier to erase (HB, 2H, or 4H)

Charcoal-• Vine charcoal is easiest to erase

15

UNIT 3:Grayscale Rendering

16

Rendering = the process of creating, shading, and texturing an image, especially a realistic one

Elements of Art:• Value- Degree of light and dark on

a scale (tints, midtones, shades)

• Form- 3D version of Shape; has dimension (spheres, cylinders, cones, etc.)

• Texture- The way something feels when it’s touched (visual texture)

Definition & 3 Elements of Art

Terminology- Value Scale & ContrastValue Scale- Shows the range of available values

o Tints = lightest valueso Midtones = medium valueso Shades = darkest values

Value Contrast- The difference between light and dark areas. The more contrast, the better the drawing

TINTS MIDTONES SHADES

17

18

Terminology- Value Application

Transitional Value Change- Gradual; usually happens when an object’s form is rounded

Abrupt Value Change-More sudden (i.e. From a 1 to a 5); happens to planar and reflective objects

19

Rendering TechniquesShading- Applying value to a drawing in even strokesHatching- Creating value with lines

o Crosshatching =Two sets of perpendicularStippling- Applying value to a drawing with small dots

Medium: Drawing Pencils

• Made of graphite and wood• Darkest to Lightest (Softest to hardest): 6B 4H• No finger-smudging! Can use a blending stick

instead

6B 2B HB 2H 4H

21

Medium: Charcoal

• Compressed = Darker

• Vine = Lighter

• Techniques: Reduction of value with kneaded eraser, blending (with tortillion, finger, cotton swab, etc.)

22

UNIT 4:Color Rendering

23

Definition and Element of ArtElement of Art:• Color- The degree to which an

object reflects or emits light

Neutral Colors

Black, white, gray, brown

Tertiary Colors-In between the main 6 colors.Examples: Red-orange, blue-

green, yellow-green, red-violet

Terminology- The Color Wheel

Primary colors –RED, YELLOW, BLUE

Secondary colors-GREEN, ORANGE, VIOLET

Tertiary colors-yellow-orange, red-violet, green-blue, etc.

Terminology- Neutrals

WHITE: When all light waves are reflected away from a surface, it appears white.

BLACK: When all light waves are absorbed by a surface, it appears black.

GRAY: The neutral tints and shades between white and black

Neutral Colors

Black, white, gray, brown

Color Terminology: HUE

It’s just a fancy word for color! “Hue” defines pure color in terms such as

Red, Green, Blue-Violet, Yellow-Orange

Terminology- TINTS & SHADES

TINT: A lighter version of a hue Add white!

SHADE: A darker version of a hue Add black!

TINTS

SHADES

Terminology- TONE

Adding gray to a pure hue

Terminology- BRIGHTNESS / INTENSITY

The strength or weakness of a color Some colors are bright/vibrant/intense,

and some are more dull/subdued

SUBDUED

BRIGHT

Techniques- Layering & Blending

• Layering- gradually building up color

• Blending- Mixing colors together

31

Medium- Colored Pencils

• Made of tubes of wood with an inner core of clay. Instead of graphite, a dye coloring agent is used.

• Meant to be layered• Create a waxy appearance• Good for fine detail

32

Medium- Chalk Pastels

• Made of pure compressed powder pigment and a binder (gum arabic)

• Dusty, chalky appearance. Easily blended with fingers. Layered and blended more easily than colored pencils
