Dramatic Bag Drawing

The dramatic light and dark changes of values next to each other makes the bag seem real. They help create the creases you would see if you were really looking at a paper bag. The soft edges and darker values pushes the drawing back into space.

Dramatic Bag

 The dramatic changes in value make this bag seem to be real, with harsh lighting jagged lines, and also blurred lines to create depth.

Clementine Drawing!

Create a drawing (of a clementine) that shows your ability to match the SHAPES  and  VALUES in the subject.... and uses soft and sharp EDGES to  make the illusion of depth.

1. Start the drawing with an under drawing in black and white... use this sketch to plan out:

• Where the objects will go on the page
• What the light and dark values are
• How you will break up the "negative space"

2. Use a second layer to develop the color version of the drawing..... match the values and shapes of the first sketch, while developing color reactions...... hot/cold....or complements
Only use two colors in the drawing- and tints and shades of each....

Here's some inspiration....

Dramatic Bag Drawing

A quick project to begin exploring Painter 12.... Here's the plan:

• Create a drawing of a paper bag (found on my desk)....

• The drawing must create a sense of DRAMA through your use of these criteria:

Your use of VALUE (contrast), VIEWING ANGLE, Sharp and soft EDGES, and the placement of the bag inside the EDGES of the page....

START planing the drawing by sketching with pencil on white paper..... then transfer your idea sketch to Painter and develop it further....

Seurat's drawing uses VALUE to show dramatic form and light

dramatic use of lighting and point of view... like a spotlight

Dramatic use if the paper SPACE- filling the space!

Dramatic marks on the page! Smearing and erasing-

Andy Josue

We were given pictures of children from Central America to draw. In Andy's eyes I saw an athletic boy who probably enjoys playing soccer. Now I don't know anything about him, for all I know he could enjoy nothing more than sitting inside and reading a nice long novel for months on end. However my first impression of just his facial expressions emit an athletic outgoing practical kid who can't wait to get his next chance to kick that black and white ball into the net.

Estefany Maria

This little girl is an orphan from Honduras. We were given a photograph to replicate and draw in Photoshop. I tried to replicate the joy that was in her eyes and relate the background to her Central American heritage.
