Currently in Mrs. Mcfayden's cyberarts class we are working on a realism drawing, by actually drawing what we see, with many different ways of drawing the contour and shading. The assignment first started by drawing quick sketches of poses, but in blind (not watching what we draw on paper, but the object itself) these quick sketches lasted certain amounts of time, usually from 30 to 2 seconds!
After those, we moved on to drawing skulls. We were challennged to really look at all the detail in the skulls, and draw what we see. Once we became experts, the real assignment came. We were seated in front of a very large display of random items.
Our assignment was to draw 3 sketches of segments of what we saw, and a final 4th drawing of what we wanted to use for our large final piece. After we did the 4th sketch, we moved on to the large canvas plane, and worked on our final piece with value(shading). The final however, has many rules. We have to make sure the resulting image isn't static (boring, drawing in the middle, doesn't make your eyes move, etc.) We have to make the piece interesting and the value has to be done well, and in a certain area of the piece, the value has to be extremely detailed, to really catch the eye.
Presently, I am on the step where I add value to my piece. So far it is turning out good, but it will take time before I finish.
