Let's talk about Art!


When we talk about art we know that it is the expression of something. Something that is inside a person such for the example the persons' expression for his/her feelings toward other person or the expression of other things. We must admit that we do artwork in a form of painting, sketching, or any kind of art form we as a person feels relieve. So in this context, before we proceed to a more complex form art forms we first explore the world of
Sketching.


 Sketching is the core of effective figurative image. Meaning in every art went to a process of sketching where it serves as a blueprint of every picture that we wish to portray. Moreover, there people who does not went to a process of sketching in portraying a picture. For this topic you will know the different techniques in sketching with expression and power.


There are different techniques in SKETCHING which you can use to make your artwork more powerful and expressive but before we proceed to the techniques let's follow the RULES in sketching....



RULES....!!!!


Rule 1:
Objects appear smaller as they move back away from your eye and equally objects drawn larger appear closer!

Rule 2: Lines and surfaces are their largest closest to the picture plane.

Rule 3: Lines or edges that are parallel appear to meet as they recede from the picture plane.

Rule 4: All vertical lines are parallel when using one point perspective (the viewer is not looking up or down at the objects)

Rule 5: Objects draw in front of one another appear closer (overlapping!)

Rule 6: Images further away will appear lighter with less contrast and detail.


Done with the RULES!! let us now proceed to the techniques in pencil sketching.........


Technique 1: Cross Hatching

Ideal for sketching, cross-hatching is predominantly used by pen artists, but creates tonal depth and can produce realistic textures when employed with pencil.


Technique 2: Circles and Scribbles


Are wonderful techniques for loosening up your drawing hand. The movement itself is relaxing. Circles and scribbles are a great method for making a distinction between objects of similar tone, by creating contrasting textures. The overall effect is dynamic, with its unique texture and energy. The technique is wild, and inspires you to release your creativity by using intertwining and overlapping circles. And best of all, it’s simple!


Technique 3: Contour Lines


Give shape and volume to your drawings using simple lines! Contour lines follow the hills, slopes, curves and edges of your shapes and are a great way to explore the scope of the space, and the dimensional capabilities of your paper. Creating a contour line sketch can greatly aid and enhance your definitive work by planning the direction of your pencil strokes.


Technique 4: Smooth Shading


Apply continuous tone, varying your pressure gradually to create smooth shade. Create a ‘wash’ with your pencil and make the transition from light to dark in one continuous stroke, using the side of your pencil may help in the initial coat. At random, vary the stopping and starting point of your strokes to avoid unwanted bands running through an area of shading. Repeat the action, until the values are dark enough, and you have shown the most delicate, subtle areas of tonal change with different pencils. Start with your lightest pencil, as it is easier to make your drawing darker than to make it lighter but do not force the pencil to make values out of its limits. Pushing your pencil to make darker shade will create a metallic sheen, very undesirable in areas of shadow or could cause dents in your paper. Smooth shading can use combinations of circular shading and contour lines to bring more depth into your drawing. Practicing this technique is imperative to create realistic shade, and allows you to use ultimate scope of tonal values with the highest degree of accuracy.





With the different techniques present in pencil sketching, are you now ready to create your own?...........



Enjoy!!!!!!!!.........
