So, Mr. Quinnn
What steps do I take to make an imitationalist figure drawing?
Step 1: Create a gesture drawing
• During this step you are understanding the posture of the figure.
• You are also establishing proportions, this step is CRUCIAL to creating a realistic figure drawing.
• Probably the most crucial step.
Step 2: Outline clothing and define major wrinkles and value changes
Using lines• Using line define outlines of the clothing.
• Remember we are inside clothes our clothes aren’t part of us.
• Also define major wrinkles or value changes.
• Are the sleeves/pants rolled or bunched, is the person sitting?
Step 3: Establish placement of details in figure
• Where is the hair?
• Where are the facial features placed, see board?
• How are the fingers positioned, what about the feet?
Step 4: Add values to fabric
• Remember our spheres there are multiple highlights, lights, shadows, and core shadows on a figure.
• Is the shirt the same texture as the pants, the shoes?
• How can you represent different textures?
Step 5: Add value and detail to body
• Can you see the hands, where are they dark light?
• Add value to the face.
• What is the texture of the skin as compared to the clothing.
• Is the skin lighter, darker than the clothes?
Step 6: ALMOST DONE!!!
• Add details and extra values to the background.
