Exploring Drawing Techniques: Form Building and Value Representation

In this lab session, we will engage in three short exercises and one extended drawing session to explore different approaches to building form and representing value in drawing. The activities include a quick warm-up using crumpled paper to study shadow and tone, a value blocking exercise with a limited palette, and an extended session focusing on proportion and texture. Throughout these exercises, we will utilize techniques such as squinting to simplify values, measuring for accuracy, and gradually developing from general forms to specific details.

  1. IAT 208 Drawing as Inquiry Week 3 Lab Spring 2013

  2. Today • 3 short exercises on different approaches to building form. • 1 long (1 hour) drawing

  3. Exercise: warm up Loosen up

  4. Exercise: Use of Tone • Time: 10 Minutes • In this exercise, you will start with a crumpled piece of paper, open it up a bit and position it in the light so as to create shadows in the folds. • Try drawing the shadowed areas as shapes and place the outline last. • (Image: Barber, Drawing Still Life)

  5. Warm-up: Value • Time: 15 minutes • Quickly block out a form using only 4 shades; black, dark grey, light grey and white. • Create the white area by creating the negative space around it. • (Source: Hanks, Rapid Viz)

  6. Extended Drawing Session • Time: 1 Hour • Using combined form-building techniques. • Gauging Proportion for larger forms Drawing for the Absolute Beginner, Mark and Mary Willenbrink, p. 52 Drawing for the Absolute Beginner, Mark and Mary Willenbrink, p. 28

  7. Sorting out Values: Squinting Helps • Sorting out varying values on an object can be tricky. • If you close your eyes, this will eliminate detail and crisp edges, and allow you to focus on the basic, overall value of the objects you are studying.

  8. Extended Drawing Session • Time: 1 Hour • Process: • Sketch lightly (cross contour) • Measure • Correct • Linear elements – bold, expressive line. • Plastic elements – define your greyscale (no more then 4 stages from lightest to darkest). • Consider: texture, smudging, negative space. • Do not add details until the end, work from general to specific.
