OK girls I am starting a self help drawing course – if you want to join just go to Hobby Lobby with your 40% off coupon and pick up the book – Pencil Drawing Technique. Every week we will have a few pages to work on and if anyone needs to ask any questions just call me or see me at the meeting.
Drawing – I will do a small drawing section to review what we are doing and motivate you to do it.
Book: Pencil Drawing Techniques by David Lewis
Do pages 10-13. In your sketch pad put the date at the top right hand corner and do the exercises to loosen up and then do a value scale using only the 2B pencil.
That’s not bad – remember to hold your pencil sometimes like a pencil for details, but most of the time like a band director with the pinkie and other two fingers under the pencil almost like the pencil lays on top of them and the thumb and pointer does the work.
Use a 4×6 small journal and a mechanical pencil to jot or doodle a couple of items. This is for fast practice, it is great for Doctor’s office waits, you would not believe how a box of Kleenex looks when you draw it.
