Practice drawing with analog art supplies! Different texture expression methods

Share:
“Technology” in many fields is based on solid foundations and foundations in each field.

So what is the basic technology when you want to improve your drawing skills? One of the most common examples is “drawing”. Observe, recognize, and express as accurately as possible the shape and structure of what you are trying to draw, how light strikes and how shadows appear. It is an important technology as there are professionals who learn anew in the current job.
The textbook for beginners' drawings, which can be seen by comparison, provides basic knowledge on drawing, from basic figures to 3D expression, perspective projection, shadow tones, texture, gloss, composition, etc., with rich examples and illustrations. Explanation. It is a structure that presents the drawings before and after improvement in a form that can be compared and encourages the user to notice “common mistakes”.


This book is intended to practice drawing with analog art supplies, but this series will focus on knowledge and concepts that can be applied to practice in a digital environment.

Continuing from the previous article, this article introduces excerpts from the tips on drawing multiple motifs on the screen from Chapter 4, “Drawing Multiple Motifs”.

Draw bricks and apples

Drawing when there is a motif with high brightness in front of a motif with low brightness. Be careful not to stick the motifs or lose the 3D effect.

Setting

In the screen, set the apples to overlap the bricks.

View from above

Lighting up the light from the front diagonally to the right so that the shadow of the apple is on the brick.

The light source is on the right front side


View from the front

Set the brick so that you can see three sides.

Light source is on the right side

Improvement points: Features of the motif

Extend the shadow of an apple

Extending the shadow of an apple to a brick makes it easier to express the positional relationship of the motif.

Also expresses the shadow of Heta

Heta is drawn thick and black, and casts the shadow of apples on apples to express the space.


How to draw an apple: An apple is not a sphere but a polyhedron

Apples should be drawn as polyhedrons, not as spheres.

Rough sketch the entire outline and adjust the composition of the screen including the shadow of the floor.


Draw a line while being aware of the change of face.


Put the shadow on the surface and the tone of the base.


Draw a shadow on the floor using the ground plane as the standard of darkness.


If the overall impression is correct, use gauze to adjust the tone.


Draw a wrap around and fine shape around the center.


Draw apple patterns and reflected light to express the texture.


Make fine adjustments while looking at the overall balance.

Before improvement

The tone is on without recognizing individual solids.


  • Because the outline processing is messy, apples have digged into the bricks.
  • Because I rubbed the apple, I lost the three-dimensional effect.
  • Since the base touch of the brick is not made, it is not a flat surface.
  • Because I drew the shadow as I saw it, I couldn't express the positional relationship between the two motifs.

After improvement

Each motif is three-dimensional and the positional relationship is clear.


  • The surface that overlaps with the motif in the foreground is a flat surface with careful gradation.
  • I draw it so that the shadow of the apple takes a little to make the positional relationship easy to understand.
  • By putting light in the part between the motifs, the space between the two motifs is expressed.
  • By drawing the direction of the surface accurately without rubbing, it gives a three-dimensional effect.
