WEEK SEVEN: DRAWING WHAT YOU SEE.
DRAWING WHAT YOU SEE IS OFTEN CONFUSED WITH DRAWING WHAT YOU THINK YOU SEE. THIS WEEK WE ARE GOING TO FIGURE OUT THE DIFFERENCE.
Drawing. It sounds like such a simple thing to do, but if you google how to draw you end up with over 2.2 billion results. 2.2 BILLION!!
So you may think it is a bit more complicated that picking up a pencil and making some marks, but in reality it is just that simple. Pick up you pen and make some marks in you notebook! Go on and try it now!
But what about perspective and proportion, and shade and texture and hue and light and all those other things.
I don’t believe you need to know much beyond the simplest of explanations of these terms. And I can tell you right now beyond know what they mean, I don’t actually draw and say to myself, no I am adding shade to this, or now this is in perspective or proportion. When I draw I say that looks good or that doesn’t. It is that simple.
But I will briefly cover the two elephants in the room: proportion and perspective and what helped me wrap my brain around the two concepts.
Have fun this week drawing what you see!
