Hello,
I’m Charles Stokes a Photography Major at Savannah College of Art and design. I will walk you through project two. Contour drawings. There are various types of countour drawings. They are as follows:
Slow Contour
Cross Contour
Continuous Line Contour
Modulated line Contour
Blind Contour
Utilizing this skill can accurately help you develop a sketch into a life-like image. By the end of this project, you will see the importance of practicing this craft and creating new processes to accomplish your goals.
Blind Contour
Here, I chose to draw my classmates shoe and the items surrounding her foot on the floor as my first study.
Modulated Line Contour
In my second study I attempted to draw a studio light.
Modulated line contour. I attempted this during the demo my instructor gave. He also drew this image, and let me assure you, he skillfully completed the task.
This is when I began to understand what the goal was.
I felt this was low-hanging fruit. Again using contour lines, shading and overlap to create depth.
This was my final sketch. I feel like my drawing skills have increased in this short period of time.
