T-05 ADVANCED: DIVERSE ANIMALS ppt

JACK Brenda Hoddinott T-05 ADVANCED: DIVERSE ANIMALS Meet Isaac – a Jack Russell Terrier and proud owner of my friend Rob! In this project, you first set up Isaac’s facial proportions and render a contour drawing. Then, you add texture to his fuzzy face with hatching, and shading to his nose with squirkling. This project is divided into the following six sections: SKETCHING PROPER PROPORTIONS: With a simple grid as a helpful guideline, you draw the various components of Isaac’s face, ears, and neck. OUTLINING FUZZY HEAD SHAPES: The hatching lines you use to draw fur on Isaac are ragged and uneven, and are also various lengths and thicknesses. HATCHING FUZZY FUR ON HIS HEAD AND EARS: In this section, you add the fur texture to the upper section of his head and his ears. SHADING SHINY PUPPY DOG EYES: You begin this section by shading around the rims of the eyes and then proceed on to the pupils and irises. FINISHING THE NOSE AND FACIAL SHADING: In this section you complete Isaac’s face by adding more fur to his face and rendering the texture of his nose. ADDING FINAL DETAILS AND FINISHING TOUCHES: When you are happy with your drawing to this point, you then add final touches and bring Isaac to life. Suggested drawing supplies include good quality white drawing paper, graphite pencils, kneaded and vinyl erasers, and a pencil sharpener. This advanced project is recommended for artists with good drawing skills, from age 12 to adult, as well as home schooling, academic and recreational fine art educators. 25 PAGES – 36 ILLUSTRATIONS Published by Hoddinott Fine Art Publishers, Halifax, NS, Canada –2004 (Revised 2006) Copyright to all articles, images, text, projects, lessons and exercises within this drawing class belong to Brenda Hoddinott and may not be reproduced or used for any commercial purposes whatsoever without the written permission of Brenda Hoddinott.

If the proportions of a dog’s head and face are off, no amount of beautiful shading or fancy pencil marks can save your drawing. In this project, you create a simple grid to help you draw everything in its correct place. Use a 2H or HB pencil to lightly sketch all the components of Isaac’s head and face. ILLUSTRATION 05-01 1. First of all, draw a square any size you wish as your drawing format. 2. Use a ruler to divide the square into four equal smaller squares. 3. Lightly sketch a circle as Isaac’s head. Make sure you leave space on your drawing paper for his snout, ears, and neck. ILLUSTRATION 05-02 4. Add a smaller circle below and to the left of the other circle to indicate the position of his snout. Most of the smaller circle is located in the lower left square. Take note of where this second circle cuts into the first.

Observe that the ear on the right is lower than the other. The ear on the left is located completely within the upper left square. 6. Sketch two circles to mark the locations of his eyes. Notice that the eye on the left is higher than the other. ILLUSTRATION 05-04 7. Sketch another circle inside his snout to identify the location of his nose. 8. Use curved lines to lightly sketch the outlines of the side of his face, neck, and shoulders. Double check the proportions of each section of your sketch by visually measuring the shapes of the positive and negative spaces. The rough sketch is now complete.

Very lightly sketch parallel angular guidelines to identify the slant of the tops of the ears, the tops and bottoms of the eyes and nose, and the nostrils, and mouth. Remember; don’t press too hard with your pencils. Not only do these areas become impossible to erase or touch up, but they also leave dents in your paper. All the lines you draw now will either need to be completely erased or made fuzzy in the next section. 10. Use a freshly sharpened HB pencil to very lightly outline the shapes of his eyes, upper face, and ears. Draw your outlines slowly and carefully! Pay close attention to the grid lines to make sure you draw the various lines in their proper places. 11. Draw the outline of his nose and add two small curved lines to indicate the nostrils. 12. Mark the location of his mouth with a curved line. 13. Refine the lines that outline the left side of his face and both sides of his neck. 14. Check over the shapes and sizes of the various parts of Isaac in relation to the lines of the square and grid, and fix anything you’re not totally happy with. ILLUSTRATION 05-05 The lines look very dark in this illustration. However, in fact they are so light that I can barely see them. I have made them look darker in a computer program so you can see them.

Some hatching lines are dark and others are light. 15. Before you begin adding fuzzy lines as Isaac’s fur, use your kneaded eraser to lighten your sketch lines until they are so light that you can barely see them. ILLUSTRATION 05-06 16. Use your HB pencil to add curved hatching lines of various lengths and thicknesses to create the texture of fur on the upper sections of Isaac’s head. 17. Use your HB pencil to outline the perimeters of Isaac’s fuzzy ears.

Add the outlines of the strands of fur around the eyes. Try a 2H or HB pencil. The lines used to outline these sections of fur are very ragged and uneven. Note that fur will cover a section of the eye on the left. ILLUSTRATION 05-08 20. Redraw the outlines of the eyes with nice neat lines (I used an HB pencil). Always place a piece of clean paper under your hand as you draw. Each time you work on a new section, remember to move your paper so it’s always under your hand. This prevents you from smudging your drawing, and protects the paper from the oils in your skin.

Note that the iris on the right doesn’t quite touch the lower section of the rim of the eye. 22. Add a tiny circle in the upper left section of each iris as the highlight. 23. Sketch yet another circle inside each iris as the pupils. The lines outlining the pupils cut into the edges of the outlines of the highlights.

Use long curved lines to add a few strands of longer fur between his eyes and above the eye on the right. Watch closely the different directions in which the lines curve. Be careful that the lines are not similar in shape or size or the fur may not appear realistic. 25. Sketch the fur on both sides of his face below his ears. 26. Extend the section of fur that is hiding a section of his eye (on the left) down toward the edge of the snout. Again, pay close attention to the different directions in which the lines curve.

Keep in mind that the edges of the fur are ragged- looking, and the lines are various lengths and thicknesses. ILLUSTRATION 05-14 28. Add the fur on the lower section of his chin. Take your time and pay attention to the different directions in which the lines curve. 29. Sketch in a fuzzy line to the lower section of the mouth.

Use raggedy lines curving in many directions to draw the fur directly above his nose. ILLUSTRATION 05-16 32. Redraw the outline of the nose with nice neat lines. Take note of the shape of the lower part of the nose and the v-shape in the center of the very bottom section. [...]...
