First we did 4 drawings on transparent paper just drawing simple lines of our hand. After we chose one of the drawings and attempted to make it more realistic. We traced the simple lines into our sketchbook then began shading and highlighting.

We took the classic hand and line doodle that kids do when bored in class, and upgraded it. After completing all the lines with a T-Ruler, we were challenged with then adding on contour and/or color to the hand. I took the water color approach and added shadows. I show depth by going darker to lighter and using opposing colors.
In class we were given the task of drawing an unknown picture upside down by slowly pulling out a photo of the picture from the back of our sketch book. It allowed us to sketch without worrying about what specifically we were drawing. It was also a experiment in activating the different sides of the brain. If we had been the given the photo at the beginning then our left brain, the logical side, would've told yourself that you can't do it because you don't know how. But when the photo was a mystery and we did it piece by piece, step by step it allowed our right brain, the more artistic and creative side to follow along. |
