Have you ever tried to draw something and the size is way off? Too large? Too small? Lopsided? In this “live” online class, you will be guided through building on basic contour drawing techniques for tackling better sizing and proportional relationships in your observational drawing based on your own 3D objects. We will create a viewfinder and discuss its’ use, as well as other tips and tools to help aid in proportion and composition of your drawings. All you need is some loose paper (or a sketchbook), a (non-mechanical) pencil, an eraser, a ruler, and access to items around your house.
Suggested items:
Choose 3-5, varying sizes: a mug, a tall glass/tumbler, a bottle, vase, candlestick holder
Small pot or vase with flowers or plant, small salt/pepper shaker, or other small 3D item (i.e. a game piece)
Xacto knife or box cutter
Scissors
Tape
A scrap of flat cardboard or thick paper at least 5” x 7”, 8” x 10” in size.
Small piece of Mylar, or other clear plastic sheet that can be cut & drawn on (a clear document protector would work) (OPTIONAL)
