A viewfinder frame is an adjustable see-through drawing format which allows you to examine a potential drawing subject from various viewpoints and can be used for portraits figures landscapes or any other drawing subjects. This lesson is divided into the following three sections CONSTRUCTING A VIEWFINDER FRAME I show you how to make a viewfinder frame with some matt board or cardboard preferably acid-free a utility knife a ruler and two large paper clips. FINDING AND FRAMING YOUR VIEW I show you two photographs and demonstrate potential cropping options found with a viewfinder frame. THE PROCESS OF DRAWING FROM A FRAMED VIEW I demonstrate two drawing tools - a grid and a viewfinder frame. I began by setting up a grid on the photo and working out a pleasing composition. From there I outline my drawing with simple lines and then add realistic shading. A viewfinder frame allows you to choose an ideal composition by eliminating clutter and unnecessary objects so as to bring your drawings toward powerful works of art. Composition refers to the arrangement of the various facets of your drawing subject within the borders of a drawing space. A strong composition brings the eyes of the viewer to what you consider to be the most important elements in your drawing. This project is recommended for artists and aspiring artists of all ages as well as home schooling academic and recreational fine art educators. 7 PAGES - 12 ILLUSTRATIONS Published by Hoddinott Fine Art Publishers Halifax NS Canada - 2 - CONSTRUCTING A VIEWFINDER FRAME A viewfinder frame is an adjustable see-through drawing format which allows you to view a potential drawing subject from various viewpoints.
