Had my Art Lesson today! :)
The teacher gave me a picture of rabbits drawn using colour pencil medium. Something like the above shown. I was expected to produce a replica of it using 2B pencil.
At first, I was like O
.O
Impossible
How can I even produce the fur texture. :/
I suddenly understood what people mean by 'inferiority complex"
'Caus I'm experiencing it then. Haha.
Started with
body proportion. Without that, it would appear like an improper fraction. Head big, torso tiny, legs gigantic. Or so as I interpret it. I bet I'm going to draw a giant lollipop with 2 ears and buck tooth.
Next there's the shading. Started with
base shading. Without base shading the drawing will appear like snow white with insufficient Vitamin D. Or an ever-pale vampire! That's interesting.
Followed by
mid tones and highlights. A more tedious process because there's so much white, black, and grey in varying shades on the rabbit. Took up a good amount of time.
Lastly it's the
adding the fur texture . It isn't as difficult as it seems. As long as you applied the correct shading. :) Just light/long/thick/thin/short lines overlapping each other.
And another thing. I'm in a dilemma whether smudging is good for you. I mean, the drawing. in DHS, it says that it will make the drawing appear 2D. But right now I'm told that it's okay as long as it's applied using the correct technique.
Contradicting.Does this post make sense? No? Good! :)
