定时绘画练习和热身演习

5次钻孔,两分钟到10分钟。一个计时器,一个复制的东西, 和所有其他练习工具不同,一个答案, 回答你应该实际工作的问题, 取自我们在你上次画画时衡量的, 而不是问过你。

• Line control

  Long, committed strokes instead of short hesitant ones. This is the single most visible difference between a beginner drawing and a confident one.

• 椭圆

  Wheels, cups, plates, bottles, eyes and hats are all the same problem. Get ellipses right and a whole category of drawing stops being hard.

• 形状和框

  Boxes are the foundation of everything man-made. A phone, a table, a building and a room are one problem at four sizes.

• 比例

  Judging halves, thirds and relative sizes by eye. This is the skill people mistake for talent.

• 价值和阴影

  Light and dark are what make a drawing look solid. Outlines alone always look flat.

• 手势

  Thirty seconds a pose, and the only thing you are trying to capture is the line of action. The fastest way there is to be physically unable to fuss.

• 图

  Longer holds, real construction. Two minutes to five, with the masses and the proportions rather than the silhouette.

• 手

  The subject people name when they say they cannot draw. It is not complexity - it is that you know too much about hands.

• 脸脸

  Head angles, one at a time. Almost every error on a face is a proportion you did not measure, and this is where you measure them.

• 动物

  Two masses and a spine. Every quadruped on earth is that, and the fur you were worried about is not the problem.
