Back to the Drawing Board

Have you ever tried to draw something and the size is way off? Too large? Too small? In this “live” class, you will be guided through building on your basic contour drawing techniques for doing observational drawing based on your own 3D objects. It will focus on how to better approach proportions for drawing.

We will work with examining objects of differing sizes placed together, as well as lone objects and exploring tips for getting more realistic size relationships in our drawings. All you need is some loose paper (or a sketchbook), a (non-mechanical) pencil, an eraser, a ruler or other straight edge, 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, dice or other 3D small game piece.

Optional items: an Xacto knife, box cutter or razor, scissors, tape, and a scrap of flat cardboard or thick paper at least 5” x 7”, 8” x 10” in size.
