Tài liệu tham khảo bằng tiếng Anh về hội họa - Eye of a Dog | OF A DOG Brenda Hoddinott I-03 INTERMEDIATE CARTOONS CRITTERS This simple project features an eye of Shadow the Dalmatian and is drawn completely freehand. After sketching the outlines you add different values with help from four different grades of pencils 2H HB 4B and 6B. Throughout the lesson I discuss the process of rendering a simplified drawing from a detailed photograph. The key to simplifying a drawing when working from a photograph is to make sure you are very familiar with the visual structure of your subject. Artists often become frustrated and overwhelmed by too much visual information when trying to visually simplify a complex image and subsequently draw it accurately. Eye of a Dog is divided into the following three sections -I- THE PARTS OF A DOG S EYE To draw a dog s eye correctly you first need to find out as much as possible about its various parts. -I- ESTABLISHING DOG EYE PROPORTIONS Drawing Shadow s eye enhances your visual abilities by exercising your freehand drawing skills. In this section your goal is to sketch her eye proportionately correct. 4- BRINGING THE EYE TO LIFE WITH SHADING Gather your drawing pencils and prepare to add shading to Shadow s eye. In addition to its basic triangular shape a realistic dog s eye drawn from this angle needs to illustrate its three dimensional forms as defined by a light source in this case from the right. Suggested drawing supplies include good quality white drawing paper 2H HB 4B and 6B graphite pencils kneaded and vinyl erasers and a pencil sharpener. This project is recommended for fine art educators and artists from age 12 to adult with limited drawing skills. 10 PAGES - 15 ILLUSTRATIONS Published by Hoddinott Fine Art Publishers Halifax NS Canada - 2004 Revised 2006 - 2 - THE PARTS OF A DOG S EYE Artists often become overwhelmed by too much visual information when trying to simplify a complex image.
