Line Project

Description:

For this project you will be tasked to create a drawing of an image of your choice upon instructor approval.  The drawing should incorporate a variation of width of line to indicate weight and value.

THIS IS A LINE DRAWING ONLY – NO SHADING ON THIS ONE!!!

Choose a simple, everyday subject, like a shoe. Or, draw yourself — your own hand or your feet, or your face, while looking in a mirror. You can choose any object, although natural forms will offer the most variation — a flower or plant, a piece of fruit or vegetable.

Drawing requires close attention and patience. It will improve your concentration and focus, and your eye-hand coordination (ability to draw what you see).  When drawing, we try to combine two experiences — touching and looking.

Here are some tips for creating this contour drawing:

Don’t get too worried about drawing perfectly, that comes with time.
Look at your subject more than at your paper.  In fact, try not to draw while you’re looking at your paper — only draw while you’re looking at your subject.  Take your time
Don’t invent, avoid meaningless lines, and try to draw accurately only the lines that run along edges.
Use long bold lines, rather than short indecisive lines, try to keep your pencil in contact with the paper as much as possible.
Focus your eyes on some point — any point — along the contour (edge) of the subject. Imagine that your pencil or pen point is touching the subject.  Keeping your eye on the subject, follow the contours of the objects with continuous lines — no sketchy lines and no erasing.
Move your eye slowly along the contour of the object, and move your pencil slowly along the paper.  Try to feel that you are not just looking at it, but also touching the object with your pencil.
Try capturing a bit of the whole before you get into all the detail, which is an effective strategy here
