Week 3 - Light, Shadow and Texture

Homework:
Please choose six types of surfaces that you could see on campus to do micro-drawing practice. Micro drawing, namely, is to focus on small area, observe carefully and do drawings. You could draw wood, fabric, soil, rock, brick wall, concrete, the surface of your dorm door, trash can, tree trunk surface, etc. Try avoid using contour lines, but rather form shape with light, shadow/shade and texture. The most important thing is OBSERVE and draw, not imagine and draw.

Do this on your 14x17 sketchbook paper. All six drawings on one paper, and follow the template is shown as below. All types of pencil as necessary. Write the surface name on top of each box.

Copy sketches.

Both on 9x12" sketchbook. Pencil only. Follow the steps to produce the final drawing.



Graphic Journal

Please do one of the graphic journal to draw your favorite shoe (draw one is fine) or your school bag. Pay attention to the shade, shadow and texture. Draw it as closest as you could to the real stuff.
