Drawing lines

2. LINE DRAWING

3. LINE DRAWING Warm-Up Instructions Place your pen, pencil, or marker on your paper. Without taking your pen off the paper, cover the entire page in lines, circles, loops, or angles. There is not a particular way to do this exercise. Your lines are allowed to overlap. Do not worry about making a picture of something. Use this time to get a feel for simply making lines that cover a page. If you are doing this exercise on your own, find a 3-4 minute song that you like. Try to draw for the whole song.

4. GESTURE DRAWING

5. GESTURE DRAWING Instructions Select an object to draw. Study the object for a moment. Draw quickly. Keep your lines loose, just like you did when you made a 5 second imaginative drawing. The idea behind this exercise is to work quickly to capture the essence of the object. If you are drawing on your own, set a timer for 20 to 60 seconds per object. In the real world, if you draw the same object more than once, move it each time.

20. FOLLOW THE LINE This exercise comes from Drawing in Black & White by Deborah Velasquez.

21. FOLLOW THE LINE Put your pen or pencil on the paper and draw a curving line. Start and stop where you wish. Without overlapping, draw another line parallel to the shape, following the direction of the line. Keep going in any direction, starting and stopping where you like. Do not overlap any of your lines. If you are drawing on your own, take as much time as you like with this exercise. It is an artistic palate cleanser.

22. CONTOUR DRAWING

23. CONTOUR DRAWING Instructions Select an object to draw. Select a “starting point” on the object and on the page. Once you have put your pen to the page, draw in one continuous line. If you pick your pen up off the page by accident, place it back down to continue the line. Try to “lock” your hand and your eye together as you follow the contour line of the object. If you are drawing on your own, set a timer for 1 or 2 minutes. While these drawings are not “blind”, spend most of your time looking at the object, not the page.

30. BLIND CONTOUR DRAWING

31. BLIND CONTOUR DRAWING Instructions Select an object to draw. Position your page to one side so that you will not be able to see it when you draw. Select a “starting point” on the object and on the page. Once you have put your pen to the page, draw in one continuous line. Try to “lock” your hand and your eye together as you follow the contour line of the object. Only look at your page when you have completed your picture. If you are drawing on your own, set a timer for 1 or 2 minutes. These drawings are “blind”. Look at the object, not the page. Try not to use your peripheral vision.
