Page E from Book FN08 made into pattern. Through caffeinated hands I bring you the first piece completed in this year of 2023. It is very possible this could become a template for a patterned floor in the future. If I only show the tip of the iceberg at the moment, know there is much to look out for.

Can you tell who this is? Or do I need to fill in a few more squares?⁠ In order to get my students to focus on color and not rely just on black for shadows I had them gride up their reference photos and drawings and then color them in one square at a time during the Charcoal and Pastel Class at #ActonArtDrawingSchool⁠ ⁠ www.ActonArt.com⁠ www.JulieAT.com⁠ ⁠ #ArtSchool #DemoDrawing #ArtShare #PastelPencils #WhatsOnMyEasel #Modernart #ModernArtist #Portrait⁠Drawing #Fineart #GridDrawing⁠ #ArtClass #DrawingClass #RealisticDrawing #TraditionalDrawings⁠ #GridPortrait⁠ #ContemporaryDrawing #ContemporyArt #ContemporaryRealism #RealismDrawing #Realism #ArtStudio #PastelArtist #StudioArt #Pastel #ActonArt #PastelLandscape #OnlineClasses #Art4Sale #ArtForSale ⁠ ⁠ (at ActonArt Drawing School) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaVK99elLCl/?utm_medium=tumblr

Art Progress: 10 May (cont.)

Following on from my progress drawing the human figure yesterday, I decided to try another sketch of a character in my long-abandoned story:

In terms of capturing the shadow and proportions accurately, this was above my skill level. Still, I know what to improve on subsequent attempts:

The shading of the lower part of her right-hand side is unrealistic, so I have to improve that. I filled in the hairline through my own imagination, because otherwise she would look bald. 

Furthermore, I need more practice with eyes, lips, and noses. 

Still, have to begin somewhere! Feedback on improving my faces would be appreciated. 

Belle and Princess jasmine from the Disney princess series. Another little lino project I've started since Monday. Currently self isolating and there was only one thing for it... Get creative again. Since my sister is a huge Disney fan i decided in the idea of making linocuts of her favourite characters. Today i have just drawn them up into the blocks of Lino using a grid system looking forward to start carving.

I need to turn in this stupid eye on Tuesday and I haven't worked on it for a week. #eye #eyedrawing #art101 #artstuff #artstudent #griddrawing #charcoaldrawing

How to make a grid drawing

Check out this link to step by step instructions on how to make a grid drawing from a reference image (for us, from a collage).

The basic steps are:

1.) Create your reference image, the thing you will be translating into a drawing.

2.) Figure out how big to make your grid square. Typically folks make them anywhere between 1/4″ to 1″. Generally these choices are made depending on the size of the reference image and the complexity involved. Smaller squares are better for more complex images.

3.) Draw a grid over the top of your  source material in something easy to see, like pen or a sharpie. Do careful straight lines with a ruler.

4.) Many folks find it helpful to label their grids. A good labeling structure is to use letters form left to right and numbers from top to bottom. This way it is easy to identify where you are during the drawing process.

5.) Make the same proportional grid onto your final drawing paper. Use a light hard pencil like a 4h or higher. You can erase the grid later or if its soft enough, it can blend into your drawing. The same number of gridded boxes will be present on your final paper, but they will likely be a different size (probably larger) than on your reference image.

6.) Label your grid on your final drawing paper in the same way you did on your reference image.

7.) Draw your reference image, focusing on one square of the grid at a time. 

Griding up the paper and reference photo didn't take long, but students spent the remainder of class drawing the portrait last week during their Charcoal and Pastel Class at #ActonArtDrawingSchool but an accurate drawing is important when starting a portrait. This week they will begin adding color.
