Wow! Everyone made big progress last week! Some of you chose to draw the cube sculpture and some of you chose to draw the dog in last week's challenges. Both challenges included exercises in drawing foreground and background as well as 3D form. The cube introduced perspective drawing.
Dog
Many of you drew the dog in Sketchy's Challenge last week, and you did a great job of drawing contour lines to form its head and neck. On Friday, everyone in class drew the same dog, but this time learned to use grid lines for drawing accurate proportions. Everyone was surprised at how much more accurate their drawings turned out.
Cube Sculpture
Several of you chose the cube for last week's challenge. Overall, everyone got a great start at drawing in perspective. We'll practice the system of perspective drawing next week.
This Week's Challenge: Weird Face Profile
This strange looking guy was sketched by Leonardo da Vinci. He used a drawing technique called cross-hatching to show the form of the man's head. To draw cross-hatched lines, you cross lines over others to create contours, textures, and shaded areas.
Start by printing the image of the man's profile. Draw a grid, like we did for last week's dog drawing, to help you draw correct proportions. See how many lines you can duplicate in your drawing, showing muscles and texture. Loosen up your lines and have fun!
Here's Leonardo's sketch for you to draw from: Click here
c ya Friday! --Rob
