DRAWING TECHNIQUES

It is always a good idea to use the Blocking in technique to produce a drawing. Blocking in means that you use basic shapes to get it easier to make a drawing. These basic shapes, such as triangles, circles, rectangles...are used for sketching and after doing it you can fill in the details and volume by shading.

We are going to draw a kitten, that´s a young cat, following the steps given on the video.
You can sketch other animals in a similar way. Why don´t we give it a try?
I will also give you a handout as a guide, and we will play with the new words related to technique, lines and the animal itself .
Here you have a study set about lines that I have made using Quizlet.
Don´t forget about choosing other study options (there are quite a few).
And what about a brief quiz using GeoGebra?
You will only need a blank sheet of paper and two pencils, the intermediate or HB for sketching, and the softer and darker one, B2, for shading.

HOMEWORK

I wonder if you could do it even better. Try to draw another animal following similar steps. I like this Yorkie but its up to you to choose a different animal amongst all that you can find in this playlist.
You´ve got a plenty of time to do it at your own pace.
