Sketching! How do I learn? Where to learn?

Characteristics of the art

Editing

Monochromatic drawings made from charcoal, pencil, pen, etc., in which lines are used to create light and darkness in an object, are called sketching. Monochrome watercolors and monochrome oil paintings can also be counted as sketches

Drawing; traditional Chinese white drawings and ink paintings can also be called sketches. Usually, the term "drawing" refers to pencil and charcoal drawings. Sketching is the foundation of all painting, which is a necessary stage in the study of the art of painting.　Sketching is usually done by methods that leave marks on a flat surface, such as charcoal, pen, paintbrush, ink, and paper. Outline and line are the general terms for sketching. Sketching has a natural rhythm. Different strokes of the brush create different relationships and rhythms of line and crosscut, active and passive surroundings, planes, volumes, tones, and textures.

Drawing is a formal artistic creation that uses monochromatic lines to express things in the intuitive world, as well as to express ideas, concepts, attitudes, feelings, fantasies, symbols, and even abstract forms. Instead of focusing on totality and color, as in colorful paintings, it focuses on structure and form.

Categories of sketching

Editing

Pencil sketching Pencil sketching is often the beginning of a sketching exercise, whether it is a fine sketch or a quick sketch, and can be started with a pencil that is easy to modify. And practice

Gesso tiles

Use

Different markings of pencils, pencil marking B indicates darkness, that is, the amount of carbon black in the core, the larger the number of markings in front of it, the darker the color, and the softer and more spongy the core texture. It can be used to draw the darker parts. H indicates the hardness, the larger the number of the front mark, the harder the texture, and can be used to draw the lighter parts.

Pencil sketching paper can be used for thicker paper, such as 150-pound or 200-pound molded paper, soft eraser is preferred.

Common sketching exercises can be still life sketching, landscape sketching to practice. Beginners are best not to combine carbon and lead, because the carbon pen matte, while the pencil with oil.

Charcoal sketching

Charcoal sketching charcoal is usually burned with wicker, drawing paper can be used to choose 150 pounds or 200 pounds of molded paper, can be used to soft erasers, buns, bread, etc., for erasure modification.

Charcoal sketching often use plaster as the object of practice, because the plaster for the purification of the object, no color, no strong texture changes, through the light, can produce a clear contrast between dark and light, beginners often start from the head.

Drawing subjects

Editing

(1): Portraits and landscapes

Originally, drawing was a service to the arts of painting and sculpture, but later developed into an independent art because of its fluidity, fullness and beauty. Its subject matter can be taken from anything, without constraints, generally portraits and landscapes are the main, while the Western sketches are often figures and still life.

(2): daily life, abstract sketches, artistic architectural sketches

Drawings based on daily life appeared in the 19th century. Others are imaginative and abstract sketches, and artistic architectural sketches.

(3): Cubist, Expressionist, and Surrealist sketches

The sketches of the 20th century seem to reflect restlessness, turmoil, and scientific progress. Some of these were characterized by a boldness of expressive line. Others attempted to incorporate life into geometric shapes (Cubism). Among the 20th century schools, there was also the X-ray technique, in which the outside and the inside were seen at the same time. Expressionists sought to "express the emotion of a scene rather than to depict the reality of things as they appear," while Surrealists focused on the subconscious mind.

(4): Practical and Technical Sketching

Practical sketching is a clear record of an objective object, and in general, it emphasizes technical design rather than aesthetics. Practical sketching includes illustrations and descriptions made for scientific purposes. Many artists have made sketches of scientific illustrations. Literary works in the sketch illustration, generally for a paragraph of the text description of the picture description, but because it shows the artist's unique style of brushwork, and still enjoys a high artistic reputation. Related to this is the cartoon, which is used for social criticism and the creation of a hypothetical picture. And this developed into comic strips, which in turn evolved into modern cartoon animation.

Drawing tools

Editing

There are many types of drawing tools, such as stone pencils, charcoal pencils, iron pencils, chalks, brushes, pencils, and fountain pens; there are also drills and gold and steel stones used for drawing.

The different tools are related to the nature and composition of the sketch, and the tools can also affect the mood and technique of the artist. The choice of tools depends on the artistic effect the artist wants to achieve. It is generally believed that dry brushes are suitable for clear lines, and water brushes are suitable for flat surfaces; fine strokes can be made with brushes, while broad fields can be sketched with pencils or chalks. Charcoal can be used for both. In terms of size, charcoal is suitable for large-scale sketches, so that contours and lighting can be studied and analyzed over a long period of time. As for pencil, it is suitable for smaller sizes and rarely used for large pencil drawings, while pen drawings are even smaller and tend to be used more in illustrations. The monochromatic expression of sketching makes the tools very arbitrary, and it is often possible to combine the use of several tools to create a variety of picture effects, so it is an extremely wide world.

(1)Pencil

Pencil is the most simple and convenient tool, beginner sketching often start with pencil, the main reason is that the pencil in the line modeling can be very precise and sure, can be modified more casually, but also more in-depth and detailed delineation of the fine details, and has to be rigorous form requirements and in-depth and repeated research. At the same time, there are more types of pencils, hard and soft, deep and shallow, more complete, can draw more tones, the color of the pencil and easy to express the tone of many silver-gray levels, for plaster and other basic training operations, the effect is better, beginners are easier to grasp, so it is more suitable for the beginning of basic training applications. Existing domestic pencils are divided into two types, HB as the middle line, to the soft and dark color change is B to 6B, in order to better adapt to the needs of painting and 7B-8B, we call the drawing pencil. HB to the hard development of H to 6H, most of the design for precision and other professional use. Because there are more types, the pencils can well express the rich layers of light and dark tones.

(2) charcoal pencils:

Charcoal pencils to not be brittle and not hard for the degree of the charcoal strips to burn through, fluffy pen black for the best, charcoal fine stick to soft and no sand called the top grade.

(3) fountain pen:

Including all tap-type hard nib pen. The use of daily writing fountain pen drawing can also be, generally for a little processing, the tip of the fountain pen with a small pliers bent inward at about 30 degrees, so that it is written in the slender fluent, anti-writing coarse and fine control freely.

(4) paper:

White, thick, clean, paper patterned paper. Pencil drawing paper should not be too thick paper, charcoal drawing paper surface can not be too smooth, while the pen drawing paper paper to be smoother paper surface, but also have a certain degree of water absorption.

(5) drawing board:

Smooth seamless plywood is the best. If you stand to draw, you should also have an easel.

(6) erasers:

Flat, soft square erasers are good. As well as playdough, playdough is easy to change shape, so it is suitable for a variety of rubbing, but the ability to clean and modify the general.

(7) pencil sharpener, pins, wipes and other tools spare.

Types of techniques

Editing

(1) Line and line techniques

Gesso interpolation

The element of sketching is the line, but the line is essentially non-existent, representing only the boundaries of the object, the color, and the plane, and is used as an illusionary representation of the object. It is only in recent times that line has been recognized as a spontaneous element of form and independent of the object being depicted.

(2) Composition of the image of an object with lines

Drawing is the composition of the image of an object with lines, and depicted on a flat surface, i.e., the form of the line causes the viewer's association. For example, an angular shape formed by the intersection of two lines can be thought of as the boundary of a plane; the addition of a third line creates a three-dimensional effect on the picture. Curved lines can symbolize a vault, and intersecting lines can express depth. People can get a comprehensible image from the variation of lines. Thus, through the use of lines, a simple outline can be developed into a refined sketch.

(3) Distinguish three-dimensional and flat surfaces with lines

In sketching, lines can be used to distinguish three-dimensional and flat surfaces, and color shading is used to strengthen and distinguish the relationship between the whole and its parts. We can use the beginning, disappearance and interruption of the line to draw the boundary and form a plane, also can make the color to the boundary and up. The thickness of the line can show the change of the object, even the light and shadow can be shown by the change of the line strokes.

(4) the assistance of plane technique

The line technique of sketching also needs the assistance of plane technique. Plane technique in the use of charcoal pencil, in the contrast between light and dark can be used to erase the pen method.

(5) The use of brushwork

It is more important to use the brushwork, because the brush can realize the width of the strokes and the strength of the tone of the brush and increase the sense of space and three-dimensionality.

(6) Artistic Enhancement

Sketching can also use multicolored brushes as the basic material, which can be used to enhance the effect of sketching as well as the artistic nature of sketching.

Drawing steps

Edit

Scientific and strict method steps can not only ensure that the sketching work goes smoothly, but also cultivate our overall observation ability and depiction ability.

Establishment of composition

The arrangement of the composition, so that the objects on the screen in the proper order of priority, the composition of a balanced and varied, to avoid scattered, chaotic, empty, stuffed and other shortcomings.

Shape and structure

Draw the shape and structure of the object with a long straight line (the invisible part of the object should also be drawn gently), and the shape, proportion and structure of the object should be accurate. Then draw the shapes and positions of the various levels of light and darkness (highlights, lights, intermediate colors, darks, projections, and lines where light and dark meet).

Gradual in-depth shaping

Through the depiction of the shape of the body (from the whole to the local, from the big to the small) gradually in-depth shaping the object's sense of volume. The main, critical details should be carefully delineated.

Adjustment completed

Depth delineation of the whole and local interrelationships are inevitably overlooked. At this time to be adjusted comprehensively (mainly refers to the structure of the form also includes color, texture, space, primary and secondary, etc.), so that there is a give and take, highlighting the main body.

Art Introduction

Editing

Drawing is a monochrome or a small amount of color painting materials to depict the life of the real thing or feeling of the form of painting, the use of materials have dry and wet

Sketching Combined Scenery

The two main categories, of which the dry material, such as: pencils, charcoal, chalk, pastels, pastels, crayons, charcoal pencil, silver, etc., and the wet, such as: ink, pastel, pastel, pastel, pastel, crayon, charcoal, etc., and the wet, such as: water, ink, charcoal, charcoal, charcoal, silver. And wet such as: ink, pen, pen, signature pen, reed pen, quill pen, bamboo pen, ballpoint pen and so on. It is customary to sketch in monochrome, but in art dictionaries, watercolors also belong to sketching.

In terms of the purpose of sketching performance, sketching is generally used as a basic drawing exercise for students to improve their modeling ability, or as a method of collecting material for pre-creative collation or partial draft exercises, and practicing object image, dynamics, volume, texture, light and dark, space, color, proportion, composition, unity of change, sparseness, etc.. Most of the painters before engaging in an oil painting or fresco, there will be a prototype of the painting, and this simple few strokes of the prototype painting, is the sketch, the sketch is rarely used to produce a finished product, but there are painters who use this way of production, and such finished paintings and drafts are different, because this kind of sketching is in the painting of a prototype of the basic skills, and then add the details of the light and shadow changes in the portrayal. The purpose of such a sketch is also to serve as a record of the artist's vision.

In terms of presentation skills, sketching is different from watercolor and oil painting, but focuses on line presentation, using the thickness of the line to describe the depth of the object's light and darkness, and does not need to worry about the details of the object's hue color value, the picture highlights the theme through the light and darkness of the light and shade of the backdrop, but also due to the loss of the consideration of color, the sketching of the dark and dark gradations in the detailed stratification of the different subtle variations of light and darkness, can show the object in the light and darkness, but also to show the object's light and darkness. changes, all of which reveal the three-dimensionality of the object.

Anger, a French classical oil painter, created a large number of sketches and single-line works because he had a different viewpoint from that of Romanticism and believed that the role of color was not the main one. Chinese painter Wang Shikou's famous work "Bloody Clothes" was also created in the form of sketches.

Famous masters of sketching include the three giants of the Italian Renaissance: Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Bonarotti, Rafael Sancho, and the Chinese Xu Beihong (1895-1953). Rembrandt, Peter Paul Rubens, and Ilya Repin were also masters of the sketch.

Drawing is at the same time a plastic art, whose aim is to create three-dimensional forms on two-dimensional paper. The accuracy of the modeling and the science of the inner structure are of utmost importance.

Art Understanding

Editing

is a term used in painting. In Chinese, it is interpreted: "素" literally means simple, direct and simple, real. The word "describe" means to write, draw, wield, copy,

sketch. Sketching is defined as the depiction of an object in a single color. Sketching is a study on the understanding and expression of form, is a basic, dialectical, logical and rigorous way of thinking to guide the expression of the art of modeling, is an independent art of modeling. We often say that sketching is the foundation of all painting, is the training means of painting creation.

The earliest as a prototype form of sketching is the petroglyphs of those ancient caves, when and those inexplicable symbols, these simple and simple depiction is the true feelings of human ancestors on the natural world. 16th century in Italy, the Academy of Fine Arts after the emergence of sketching in the formal identity of the art of art academies of the studio. 1912 in China, the Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts to formally open the course, and in 1958, the impact of this program, and then in 1958, the Academy of Fine Arts in Shanghai. In 1912, this course was officially opened in China's Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts, which was impacted in 1958 and restored in 1962, and then impacted again during the "Cultural Revolution" period until 1976 when it was restored in all major art academies across the country. From the history of the development of sketching, from ancient Egypt, the two river basin to ancient Greece, ancient Rome, from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, from the European 17th century classical painting school to the 20th century modern school, has formed a perfect system. In the sketching teaching, mainly to train students how to observe and portray the objective object modeling ability, for beginners, we often draw the form like not like, quasi-disallowed, the whole is not the whole as a test of the level of sketching high and low. As designers should also have the basic skills of sketching.

Art is a means of expressing things. The basis of art is modeling, art modeling is a complex labor according to the natural way, is a need for long-term training to form a special skill. Artistic modeling is not just about shaping isolated and static objects, but more importantly about expressing the organic relationship between various forms in the object. To master the method of artistic modeling, it is necessary to restore the natural way of thinking and operation, and to study the formal characteristics of natural objects and recognize its changing rules and conditions. Sketching is the best way to solve these modeling problems, which has been completely proved in the practice of artistic modeling, therefore, sketching is called "the foundation of the plastic arts".

Drawing usually implies a method of leaving marks on a flat surface, such as crayon, charcoal, pen, pencil, chalk, black and brown ink, ink, and paper, and also includes abrasion on the surface of moistened clay, ink-stained cloth, metal, stoneware, containers, or cloth. Sketching is the basis of all painting, and it is a stage through which the process of study must pass.

Outline and line are the general designations for sketching. Sketching possesses a sense of natural rhythm and the viewer can feel this in the process of appreciation. Different strokes of the brush create different lines and cross-cutting relationships, and include rhythm, active and passive surroundings, planes, volumes, tones, and textures.

Drawing is a formal artistic creation that expresses things in the intuitive world by means of monochromatic lines (or two or more colors) or painted surfaces, and can express ideas, concepts, attitudes, feelings, fantasies, symbols, and even abstract forms. It is not as important as painting in general and color, but focuses on structure and form in the Western Art Dictionary (published by Lion Books), the only explanation related to sketching is sketch, which is considered a rough sketch of a work or part of a work, which is the artist's study and exploration of the main points of light, shadow, composition, and the scale of the whole; it is the preliminary composition of the whole painting or one of them.

A sketch from a landscape artist is usually a small, quick record of the effects of light in a landscape, and a preparation of ideas for future repainting.

Every object exposed to light has a light and a dark part, a light and a dark part. Therefore, when drawing, the line between light and dark is used as a boundary to separate the light and dark parts.

The dark part of the painting is usually the reflection, gray and dark; the light part is the brightest part of the painting; in addition, there are projections, and the background.

When painting, the light areas should be as free from dirt as possible, and the dark areas should be as free from dullness (i.e., too many lines with no gaps or reflections) as possible.

Drawing is a necessary foundation for other arts, especially watercolor, oil painting, printmaking, sculpture (relief), and also for graphic design, and for sketching. Sketching, though considered a two-dimensional art, not requiring color and a third dimension, implies both.

Definition of Sketching (from Cornwall Teacher's Manual)

Dessin in French - Drawing in English - is known as "sketching" in Chinese. Sketching is the process by which the artist, on a given area or on a flat material (paper, cloth ......) - depicts the position of an external form in space - and is trained to master the levels of light and darkness and the basic image of an object.

Sketching meets the definition of sketching, and in a broad sense is a type of sketching.

Drawing for Advanced Placement

Edit

Drawing requires the development of one's powers of observation. In addition, sketching can also be explained as the effort of everything between "existence" and "drawing", which is also called "the power of depiction of drawing".

With the development of higher education in China, the number of enrollment in art colleges and specialties is increasing, and many art-loving high school students enroll in art colleges and specialties, and the sketching test is the main subject of the art specialty test, how to improve the sketching performance in the college entrance examination is the problem that the candidates are struggling to find. Therefore, the study of the sketching test is the top priority of high school art teachers' teaching.

European art at the end of the 19th century, due to the later impressionism, cubism for the essence of art of different pursuit and exploration, so that the entity shape and color depiction of complete liberation, therefore, also changed the traditional way of sketching training. In some countries, such as the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Paris I in France, the course of "Drawing" was replaced by the "Study of Two Dimensions, Monochrome and Polychrome". In this kind of curriculum, sketching has a wider space and more flexible materials, so that students can use different media to engage in the practice of second dimension modeling. Therefore, in addition to the basic concept of sketching, more flexibility and adaptability should be given to the training of sketching media, so that the training of sketching can not only be in line with the trend of art, but also show more vitality and a wider range of expressive power.

The Renaissance masters, Rubens, Rembrandt, Goya, Engel, Levin, Mentzel, and so on; while some of the great painters have very little circulation, such as Titian, Velázquez, because of their long directly on the canvas, so there is not much left of the sketches; but from the only few works on the still can be seen on the sketching of their unique efforts.

The five major surfaces of light and dark in sketching include: the light side, the gray side, the interface between light and dark (the darkest), the projected side, and the reflective side. Sketching should pay attention to the basics of sketching, and drawing multiple geometries is a very good way to improve your ability!

Sketching, generally start with a plaster statue, with a plaster statue as the initial stage of the teaching content, the favorable conditions are: First, the plaster statue is a white object, easy for us to observe the character head shape structure of the relationship between the transitions and hierarchical differences; Second, the plaster statue is static, for the first time to learn to sketch students, which for them to observe and depict the object in detail and patiently provides the greatest convenience. Convenience. The lightened character's skin color, various differences and changes in hair will make us feel more directly the nature of the object's form and structure; in addition, plaster statues are usually modeled on the classic carvings of European ancient art masters and oriental artists, which have been summarized, summarized, intensified by the artists of the carvings, and the performance, and the character's image characteristics, structural relationships are more intense and distinctive, and the dynamics and emotions are more vivid and rich. The character of the figure, the structural relationship is more intense and distinct, dynamic and emotional more vivid, rich

Drawing combination of still life

infectious. In the gypsum portrait print sketching training, the object itself is already a good example of art, giving us the best method of structure, form and level. Plaster portrait of the above characteristics in fact, from the other hand, has illustrated the difference between it and portrait sketching of the differences and differences. Then, in the specific process of sketching, the differences and similarities in the expression of what aspects?

Summary, plaster sketching and portrait sketching from the observation method to the performance of the steps there is no essential difference, and is relatively consistent. But in the specific performance skills do have some subtle differences. First of all, the physical structure of the plaster statue and the undulation of the muscle is sculptor with a carving knife to shape out, it has obvious traces of decent generalization, generalization and processing. For example, the eyebrows, whiskers, eyeballs, hair, etc. of a plaster statue are all forms that have been summarized and processed by using decent, lumps. Bone, muscle start and stop relationship are more obvious and strong.

The design profession has revised the mode and method of teaching drawing according to its own professional characteristics, but basically it still borrows the drawing experience of the various schools in the development of Western art and has not yet eradicated the idea that drawing is realistic drawing. From the painting profession inherited the idea that realistic drawing is the standard model of drawing, so all changes are only based on the modification and variation of the realistic drawing.

Precautions

Edit

1. Lack of overall sense of aesthetics

This is a lot of beginners and candidates *** with the same problem, due to the lack of long-term homework training in the examination can not be guided by the concept of the overall

full-body sketch

under the overall advancement of the overall effect of a lack of hasty, in the absence of a grasp of the overall effect of a rigid sticking to localization. The whole effect of the lack of grasp of the local dead key, resulting in the local relationship between each other can not be well articulated. Let the overall sense of beauty can not be better reflected, the local construction has been very prominent, while other places do not do enough, such a painting, how can get a good review?

The whole of a painting is composed of several parts, and a painting without parts is unreal; however, a painting with only parts and no whole is meaningless even if it is wonderful and deep. The purpose of sketching is not only to practice a "good job", but more importantly to cultivate a "mood" of artistic thinking and an "idea" of how to observe things. Without these two points, sketching practice will lose its essential meaning. Since the whole is related to the success or failure of a sketch, then the relationship between local and local, local and whole is very important. How to solve this relationship, we have to rely on the method of comparison, compare the shades of color, the proportion of the length, width, size, than the perspective of the relationship between the far and near, virtual and real. According to this comparison, the work drawn is the real existence of the objective object.

2. Sensitivity Strengthening

All the people in the world, there is no absolutely the same face, even if the twins are no exception, he (she) they also have other people are not easy to notice the difference. The fundamental task of sketching training is to capture the characteristics of the object and the unique personality of the differences, but in the process of sketching, often see some students no matter who they draw, no matter how the object looks like, how the temperament, are drawn like a person, the model seems to have become a setup, into their fabricated reference. Here are the teacher's mistakes in the initial period of guidance, and the candidates' own understanding of the misconceptions. Some candidates incorrectly believe that: the model like it does not matter, as long as the picture effect is good, anyway, the teacher does not know what kind of model. It is true that the likeness is not one of the criteria for measuring the quality of a sketch, but it can test a student's sensitivity to things and the ability to perform. If a student is detached from the object to feel for a long time, to fabricate the so-called picture effect and abandon the training of the objective object perception ability, then he may cause the degradation of perception ability and lose the sensitivity that an artist should have. Specifically in the sketch sketching is the performance of a thousand people. This is because the eye, which is an important condition for a painter, has deteriorated. Undoubtedly, such a paper cannot get high marks. And once these faults are formed, it is very difficult to correct them. So students should pay special attention to every detail that the teacher talks about.

3. Bad grasp of the picture

In the final picture adjustment, it is most likely to have a gray picture, the effect of contrast is not strong and the picture lock broken. Why do these problems occur? This is because the picture of the black, white, gray level lack of complete and unified contrast and change law,, the picture of the level is not clear, the effect of the picture is not loud, as for which component is more, which component is less, are to give you a feeling depending on. The relationship between itself is very significant, but no matter how the proportionality of the relationship, the three basic colors should not be missing one of them.

There are many reasons for a gray picture. For example, most of the model's face is in the bright part, so the picture is basically bright and gray tones; if

If not handled properly, it is easy to cause the picture gray. At this point, it reflects the role of dark gray, try to pull the distance between the dark gray and light gray, so as to maintain a sense of hierarchy in the picture. There is another situation: the model's skin is relatively dark, black and dark gray tones account for most of the area of its face, while the light gray and light side of the area occupied by very little. Poor handling is also likely to cause the picture to be gray and dull, affecting the results of the assignment. In this regard, candidates should take the initiative to reduce the depth of the middle tones, increase the brightness of the picture (face) and maintain the sense of hierarchy in the picture. In the process of sketching, under the premise of overall respect for the objective object, it is permissible to adjust, or weaken, or strengthen the local color tone of the artistic processing.

The object of sketching, whether bright or dark, strong or weak, false or real, has its own rules and order. If you disrupt this objective order when sketching, it will appear fragmented and trivial, thus affecting the overall sense of the picture.

There is also a situation in which each part of the painting is very good and complete, but there is no connection between the part and the part, and they do not belong to each other, do not give way to each other, like a plate of scattered sand. An object in a fixed light source irradiation, will inevitably appear strong and weak, near and far, and the virtual reality of the object. As a result, there is a relationship between the primary and secondary objects - a sense of order. Grasp is not good, such a piece of work can not be said to be a good piece of work!

4. In the process of sketching practice, sketching must focus on the light, the relationship between the object, the strokes of the depiction of the technique, will be observed by their own eyes to the form, specific and micro-representation. Therefore, sketching needs to develop one's power of observation. In addition, sketching can also be interpreted as the effort between "existence" and "painting", which is also called "the power of depiction in painting". For example, if you draw a still life on the table, you can not only find the different colors on the still life, but also find the sense of security on the table, and the harmony between the background, the existence of these shapes, colors, lines, light and darkness, texture, sense of quantity, sense of existence, space, dynamics ...... and other complex factors, intertwined with each other, constituting an order of beauty. Painting is to convert those natural orders into a beautiful and picturesque order, which is also the meaning and purpose of sketching. Sketching is the foundation of painting, and it is the kind of painting that can best reflect the level of human painting. Therefore, in the study, we should be down-to-earth, hold the balance, not impatient.

Frequently Asked Questions

Editing

1, the shape of the drawing "crooked"

This is due to the drafting is not strict error. The characteristic of objects in sketching is to be "still". Each object has its own position and center of gravity, the center of gravity of symmetrical objects, in its center vertical line position, vertical line drawing is not perpendicular, will make the object center of gravity is not stable, resulting in "crooked" error. Drawing "crooked" error there is another reason: symmetrical objects drawn asymmetrical. The solution is: drafting, left and right sides should be drafted at the same time, do not wait until the end of one side, and then start the other side.

2, the picture is too "empty" or too "full"

This is due to the improper composition of the error. Objects are too small and too centralized, will cause the picture of the "empty"; while the object is too large and too scattered, the picture will be "full", and even sometimes the picture will be "unable to hold" the object. The solution is: at the beginning of the combination of the entire object shape to find the right, in accordance with the requirements of the composition of the positioning of the auxiliary line, in the further depth of the time, do not easily change the composition of the positioning line, otherwise, it will destroy the original intention of the composition.

3, the outline line is too "thick"

This is because the painter has not set up a "decent" concept, do not understand the outline of the object is formed by the "face" of the turn, do not understand the shape is the formation of the shape of the body. The formation of the shape is not to understand the contrast between light and dark. The solution is: to strengthen the observation of feelings, eliminate the interference of non-drawing habits, the "thick line" side of the transition to the dark or background.

4, outline line too "false"

This is because the artist wrongly believes that: the more three-dimensional object, the more false its outline; the more behind the object, the more false its form. The solution is: rely on observation, rely on feelings, understand the visual phenomenon of "binocular parallax", learn to modeling "line surface" conversion relationship, without "subjective" influence, objective The object of the performance.

5, perspective surface is too "big"

Beginners often draw the side of the object is big, this is because they have less understanding of the phenomenon of visual perspective shrinkage, the subjective view that the original "that side" is not so small, not in accordance with the results of objective observation to draw. This is because they have little understanding of the phenomenon of visual perspective contraction and subjectively believe that "that side" is not so small. This shows that the habits of life still affect the artist. The way to correct this is to learn the laws of perspective, to master the proportionality, and to represent the object object objectively.

6, the picture is too "gray"

The direct cause of the gray is the object of the bright part of the painting heavy, which is due to the observation of the contrast between dark and light is not enough to cause, it should be adjusted to increase the dark and light intersection line, improve the brightness of the bright part of the brightness.

7, the picture is too "broken", too "flat", too "board"

The main reason for these three errors is that the performance of the object is not clear. The reason for "broken" is that the object is portrayed in too many parts, too strong.
