Learn to Draw An Introduction - Amy Wynne (creativelive.com)

( #draw #drawing #contour )

In this course from creativelive.com, Amy Wynne provides a introduction to drawing.  She starts off talking about standard drawing material such as pencils, pens, charcoal.

Lesson 2 moves onto seeing the shapes and how adding water over your drawing can cause shadding with some materials.  She want you to focus on creating contour lines, through blind or semi-blind contour drawings.

Lesson 3 is about negative space and how space between objects determine your composition.  She has you practice shading the negative space and composing a drawing with a pair of scissors.

Blind or semi-blind Contour drawing.

Lesson 4 is about seeing a block, cup, or egg in 3D.  With the egg she use cross-contours to mimic the curve of the egg.  We use the cup to see the different ellipses that are created different viewing points.  We use the block to look into 1-point and 2-point perspective.

Lesson 5 is about measurements.  When objects are in the back ground they will have smaller measurements then objects in the foreground.  She would like us to draw three apples at different distances from us.

Lesson 6 series.  Suggest making a series of the same drawing (example a clementine at different steps in being eaten)
