i take art, i in sec3 this year.
i drew a soccer player, but its in school because we have to
poster(crayon?) it. next time i upload okay? :D.
can you teach me how to sketch using pencil? just tip, because i
use my hand and rub. my teacher say that cheating. those shadow
blablabla.
o i'd love to see artworks :D do upload ^^
basically i will start shaping the figure lightly then after i
applied the basic details/structure for eye, mouth face etc etc..
then i start adding different level of shading and contrast at the
right places ( hopefully ). i use my fingers to rub as well.
rubbing is not cheating in my opinion. i vary my level of 'rubbing'
the shades. most times i will use my finger to gently stroke the
shades. i will only really rub quite abit if the shade is dark or
is sketchy but possible to rub safely till smoothen.
maybe for sketching is more of the simple task compared to
actual drawing. as sketching requires most of the time basics like
cross-hatching and just lined shadings. while refined drawing, the
shadings are rendered properly or so called smudged till smooth.
the term smudge is misunderstood when used in drawing. using your
finger to render the shadings when practiced and understood
correctly you will be able to smudge correctly without making the
shades look weird and dislevelled. it takes time to understand that
i think
so if your teacher dun wan u to use your finger, then you can
get different levels of pencils to make shading easier for you from
lihgt to dark ba :)
