-They all try to communicate something

-The artists do more than try to reproduce the world realistically

what
do you
want
others
 Hyper-realism

to see?
 exciting

Flavourful and delicate

juicy playful
 1. The basic shape

2. A refined contour line

TIP: Sketch quickly smoothly lightly 10 mins

 Go slowly
and look at
details

Densify lines
to make tone Black shadow
makes a
good contrast
Continuous Contour Left handed
(don’t take your pen (simplify, Just
the edges) Or any others you know…..
off the paper)

Challenge – Apply tones and texture

TIP: press hard/soft to make thick/thin lines 10 mins
 Layer colours
to blend
Add a lot of water first them
The colours may bleed into each other

Leave areas
white for
highlight
Ink/Water colour Felt pen Pencil Colour

Challenge – Apply tones and texture 10 mins

TIP: You don’t need to always choose the most obvious colours
What Mood do you think your peers have created?
How do you know?
 Complete a detailed pencil study of one natural object.
 It must: - be A4 in size
- be drawn from an interesting angle
- include a full tonal range
- include as much accurate texture as possible
- be as accurate as possible
You can choose: - the media you use (pencil, biro, fine liner, coloured pencil, ink)
- what you draw on…..
Lesson 5 and 6

 Learning Objective:
-To draw from observation recording detail
-Know and practice the drawing process
Put the drawing
process in order
Step …: Looking
LOOK at the object you are drawing.
THINK about what shapes make up
the object.

In the drinks can above, you can see that it's made of circles and a rectangle.
Step 2: Measuring stage

MEASURE how big to draw the

shapes, do not use a ruler.

SKETCH lightly, do not press hard.

EVALUATE Is it correct? Make

changes if you need
to.
Step …: Building stage
ADD DETAILS Improve the drawing,
looking at the shapes inside the
shapes

BUILD the drawing, measuring and

sketching lightly

EVALUATE Is it correct? Will I need

to alter
anything?
Step …: Detail Stage
DETAIL Look for the fine details now
and add as much as you can see.

FINISH Are you going to paint your

design? Or shade it with pencil?

Perhaps you want to experiment with

art materials, collage,
etc
Step …: value Stage

LOOK at where the light is coming from

Begin where the DARKEST areas are

Use a FULL TONAL RANGE to give depth

Step …: Shadows and Highlights Stage

BUILD up more darker tones

Use a rubber to TAKE AWAY pencil for highlights

-Choose a one natural object to
draw in more detail.
-Try to draw from an interesting
perspective on a table or surface
in front of you.
-Draw onto brown paper.

-Sketch the basic shapes, then

press harder to build the detail of
the object into a more complex
drawing. Add tone, shading and
texture
 What is the most successful part of your work?
 Where have you spent the most time?
 Which part did you find the most difficult?
 Which part would you improve?
 If you had to do this drawing again and use a different media, what would you use?
 What questions do
What did you already know? you have?
What new
things have
you leaned?

Something that squares with Something that triangulates It goes around and around
you with you
