2.-with 4b or 6B pencil start filling in each shape until you find another edge. when you encounter one edge change mark.

3.- If one shape was filled with very dense marks think on filling the next shape with more white in between maks to have a less dense surface. etc...

4. close attention on edges and how to make them have contrast between them. Think about density of the marks on each edge.

• Line: describe shape of things.

• Tone: light or dark of an object.

• Texture: surface quality of an object

You can represent a sense of space where things are front and back.

Get familiar with marks and materials.

How they behave?

What kind of marks do they do?

Which one you like better?

How it makes you feel when you use it?

What kind of materials you would like to try? (be creative).

Too truly see things as they are, rather than how we assume they should look.

Draw as you go

1.- Draw from memory a drawing you used to make when you were a kid. what is the subject? a landscape? people? a house? Draw the way you draw it at a young age. What do you remember?

Drawing as an experience.

If you Learn to observe you can draw whatever you have in front of you.

1.- Simplify details: draw without fully outlining all the edges. Lets parts of your drawing fade into the background.

3. Play with Contrast. light againts dark/ shading gradually an edge.

Soft Edges: a soft or gradual transition between shapes or objects. ex. transition of values.

Lost Edges: The transition is lost. The edges is not fully defined and it seem to blend into the surroundings.

The visual separation of forms and spaces.

Where 2 forms touches.

Why to draw them?

• to Crete an effect of depth: bring a shape or object forward or backward.

  
  

help your observational skills.

steps:

1.- look yourself on a mirror or camera on your phone.

2.- Fix your eye on one contour or outline of the image.

3.- Track the edge of the object with your eyes.

4.- Simultaneously draw the contour very slowly and continue line on your page without lifting the pencil or looking the page.

5.-Have your eye on the paper all the time until you find another line how intersect.

Note:

• This exercise should be done slowly, searchingly sensitively.

• do not worry about proportions or being realistic

2.- drawing from perception

3.- Upside down: brain mode of drawing

drawing shapes, lines. space, relationships etc..

The visual zone Versus the verbal zone of our brain.

2.-Decide the composition with relationship to the vertical of the page.

3.-draw negative spaces.

4.- Do not forget to be considering the edge of the pages to draw.

The interplay between these two elements creates tension, directs the viewer’s eye, and contributes to the overall balance and definition of the artwork.

2.- define half of the page horizontal and vertical. draw a very soft line.

3.- Don’t draw the chair, instead, draw the easy parts, the negative spaces.

4.- Fill in the black shapes until the end of the page.

Keep the proportions of the page on your drawing.

Positive forms share edges with negative space.

Positive and negative space have the same importance in a composition.

To have the main structure, you have to learn:

negative - positive space.

composition

Relationships on space.

measurements

perspective etc..

After you define that on you paper you can add details:

shadings, textures etc...

Transitions of the edges: Hard (They are loud, they want to be seeing) and soft edges (They are shy, they want to disappear). Lost: totally disappear.

2.-Start drawing the perspective with the horizontal and verticals.

3.-draw from the general to the specific.

use loose lines.

Build a still life with different objects and look for relationships between them and the space. make sure there are some deep spaces not just a white wall.

use loose lines.

Feel the space and use marks for the space if you want it.

The pencil helping you to measure.

10 minutes practice to find angles

help with composition

1.- A paper bag

2.-A scramble paper

3.- A fabric

1.- make your paper a square size.

2.- with a charcoal in a flat position fill all the paper with a gray middle tone.

3.- use the upside-down figure and identify the whites' shapes on the paper. Use the eraser to make those white shapes.

4.- Identify the dark shapes and draw them with the charcoal.

be aware to leave the middle tones.

5.-Continue observing the upside drawing and make other observational marks.

Note: observe shapes of dark and light.

Variety of hand pressure to have values.
