Pen and Ink Drawing......(The Art of Copying)

The art of copying is relatively a simple term. It means watching the whatever you are drawing and paste it on your sketch pad paper or any kind of paper.... But, you need to know the steps of proceeding to do the sketch first and it is as follows:  (1)Draw a Grid                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   (2)Count the no. of blocks along the x axis and the y axis after gridding                                                                
 (3) Draw a grid onto the picture that is going to be copied making sure that the no. of squares on the x and the y axis match on your page
                   (4) Match each square/block on the picture with its corresponding square/block on your page..this is done by watching carefully and precise measurement

Working with Pastels......

Oil pastels....mess-free; chalk pastels......total messy...i have chalk pastels.Before we started today's class we learned about the different types of pastels as I mentioned before, chalk and oil. The best type of surface to work on with pastels is a SLIGHTLY rough surface to capture the particles and blend or help to blend the colors better.Some examples of pastel materials are like pastel paper,obviously, cold pressed water colour paper and veilour. Oil pastels can also be blended using a technique called artist turpentine.  When doing a pastel drawing the most important t thing u must have is a color chat of the different shades of your fruit/veges. The way in which u apply your technique of using the pastels is also important....Miss sort of took my paper,pastels and did a drawing on mine.......so i kinda got a head start

Wrapping up

what up........big up to my bloggers out there; today was the hardest.We all got criticized on our drawings,in a good way. We learnt some techniques to do on our drawings with our eraser to blend the different shades...some of the techniques that were learnt were like different ways of coloring/shading.The names of these techniques were hatching, cross-hatching and stippling. The closer the marks and the greater the pressure applied on these techniques, the darker the value and obviously ghe lighter the pressure the lighter the value.......so, next class we r starting with pastels.....WHOOO!!!!!
