Classical Figurative
Drawing Demonstration
by
Lacey Lewis
 |
All
my drawings start with light outlines. If you look closely, you can
see lines enveloping the figure, running from the toes of one foot
to the other and up towards the head, creating a triangle. Measurements
are made multiple times and from various reference points as I sketch
the figure. Then, I add some shading and darker lines as I start to
break up the interior of the torso. |

Once
I start to become sure of placement, I begin to finalize the outline.
The quality of the line is varied according to what I want it to express,
and I strive to show even subtle variations in the curve of the edges.
I start to really shade in the shadows on the torso and build some
solid form there. This is a central area of the drawing, and also
contains some of the darkest shadows, so it will be a good area to
compare all others against as I continue. |
