2 Drawings of the Aubrey Beardsley in pen.

Drawing the cloth

1. Articulate Show how the form will move in and out of itself.

2. Break into the form to show the turning direction of the cloth and where it tends to go.

With the with unify with a almost unilateral line of white. In between 100% and 70%. Bring up the light to the form. Relate the cloth to the figure.

On areas of cast shadow make sure that you make it darkest because that is the area where there is no light at all. The angle within the form will make the form more 3-d than flat. In areas where there are core shadows also make it dark and then draw it to the flow.

3. render off of the articulated out line and the the opposite axis

4. Stay clean inside the drawing when you ware bring up the light with the prisma color pencil.

Assignment -

Bring 10 pages of other artist, entertainment designers of typical character development that you see as similar to what you are looking for.

In your notebook draw from those examples - combine them to make them more originally yours - clean tight drawings to fill five to seven poses with multiple elements in pen and prismacolor. Include - Dynamic drawings: Faces and motion gestures 3-4 characters; costume development; weapons uniforms if applied; environment; vehicles.

Each person next week has 5-7 minutes to present this assignment to the class. Include you list of answers to the who what when where why and the protagonist and antagonist questions.

We will tape up the ten pages of the research up on the wall so that we can see what inspires you.

This is what he wrote on the wall.

Homework (for five min presentation)

1. Bring in 10+ pages of diverse research on character development costume and environments. This is to be taped on the board.

2. From that research do 5-7 pages in notebook of clean drawing - pen and prisma - morph ideas of the master designers to make your own.

3. Copy handout in pen and white prisma

4. Answer survey given before. Who, what, when, where, why, etc.

A note about late and incomplete work. I know that you guys are really busy with your other classes but it's important that you treat each class with the same amount of respect and integrity. I know it's really hard to do that, but it's best to try and practice this kind of stuff right now rather than failing because if it later. I will accept late work but I will deduct one point for it being late. As for incomplete work you can make it up for full points the next week. However, after the 2 weeks pass from the due date, I don't know if I'll be able to accept any kind of work, late or incomplete. Please pace yourself and do the homework! It's really not too bad.

Drawing with the light

Be aware of the core of the shadow!! The core is the area of the shadow where there is no direct light nor reflected light in the area. Thus the core will give the drawing a dark punch.

Stay out of the purgatory of not having enough light - dark contrast.

The darks will be

a. In the core "no man's land"

b. The edge of the dark shadow - or cast shadow. "Core of the cast shadow."

c. In an area of a pinch - Where the light is pinched out - At the point where two objects touch.

Always make up cores because the cores drive the movement in your figure.

There are 4 levels of light: Low light, mid light, highlight, and sparks.

The lights will be

a. In the highlights-top of the form

b. When the form is under stress (skin, pleat, bones, tendons, etc.)

c. In the sparks - these love to hide under form shadows.

d. Along the edge of the core of the cast shadow.

Developing the picture in light

1. Draw with articulation techniques

2. Identify the cores

3. Unify the entire object by filling out the light side in low light - try drawing in a one directional line. "Think of catching the light and spilling the light within your picture to separate the dark and light."

4. 1/3 of the lowlight will be mid-light- from here on out try to draw topographically or in a way where you grid out the object - follow the form.

5. 1/3 of the mid-light will be the highlight

6. 1/3 of the highlight will be the spark.
