‘Creative line can only be the line as you see it and prefer to draw it.’ - Andrew Loomis, 1947
Although you are using line to translate information, you need to inject individuality not only to make the drawing your own but to capture the experience you are having drawing it.
Drawing is not the same as making good pictures.
- Convey its intrinsic beauty
- To divide or limit an area of space
- To describe form by edge or contour
- To catch and direct the eye a certain way
- To produce tonal gradation
- To create design or arrangement
There is no standard for good drawing - everyone draws differently and each individual’s craft will be appreciated in different ways.
‘Skill in any craftwork can be improved’ - Richard Sennett, 2008
- More drawing
- More play
- More evaluation
- More critical analysis
Be experimental! Exploit tools and use them to their full potential.
GESTURE - CONTROL - SPEED - TOOL - PRESSURE - MEDIA
In order to help me complete the next task, I am looking at this book about how to draw fashion accessories. It contains a lot of fashion illustrations I can take inspiration from which will hopefully lead to my drawings this week being more informed and varied.
