I think the cat analogy is incorrect. Cat is not one of the three or four words you use in every sentence. If you are a portrait artist, the eyes are one of the four items you draw every time, as in eyes, nose, mouth, and hair. The cat analogy would work if there were only five words.

@laurenball_illustrator28 күн бұрын

Thanks for your comment. I chose the example of drawing a cat because it touched on the broader idea that these skills of observing negative shapes and angles apply to anything we draw. A "cat" is a "thing" in the same sense that "eye" is a "thing"- our brains have a stored visual library of these "things", these symbols that we've learned since childhood. You're right, I could have used "hair", since when we were children we learned to treat hair as a symbol as well when we drew people. But for the point I was trying to make, the idea extends beyond drawing portraits. When drawing from observation it applies to everything.

“Forget the name of that which you are drawing.” You’re not drawing eyes, or a car, etc, you’re drawing shapes and lines that will create the eye, or the car.

Traceing

@laurenball_illustratorАй бұрын

Tracing was only used at the beginning to point out key features. The actual drawing was done straight from observation (starting at about 8 minutes). As far as being a bad artist... yeah, my inner critic would agree 😬

@ankhpom929612 күн бұрын

If the subject is looking at you face on that is fine. But what about when the subject’s face is viewed at an angle?

@laurenball_illustrator12 күн бұрын

@@ankhpom9296 What a great question! You're right, when we look at the subject facing directly to the front it seems easier. That's because the features match how we've always drawn them since we were children. But when the head turns all those features no longer match those face symbols we've been relying on. Now they're just a bunch of unfamiliar shapes. This forces us to try and observe the negative shapes around the features, and if you haven't been practicing this it can be frustrating. Here's a recent video I made about this: kzread.info/dash/bejne/h2iFrq2ok8jHedI.html

I just started drawing and I had an major break through. You're drawing the space in between the object! Not the object itself. Things started to click and I began to access my right brain. It was a big Ah Ha moment for me.

sometimes i trace an image of body, then cut it into segments so i understand why it looks looser than when i draw free handed. it's not my art when i trace but it really helps me locate where should be what, and how the body works. i've gotten myself back into drawing and this method of trying to find likeness makes me feel better about how art works for me. like copying math directly off the board in school, i didn't do the math, the teacher did but it's walked through and it helps me learn. thank you, i feel better about getting back into drawing.

What a great idea! It's good to hear the different ways we process and try to make sense of the complicated forms in front of us. I'm glad to hear you're getting back into drawing!

Is there a reason you do 1/4s instead of 1/3s?

@laurenball_illustrator3 ай бұрын

That's a great question. I like to think it simplifies things. With the more familiar 1/3 grid you want to place your area of interest where one of the horizontal and vertical lines intersect. With just one horizontal line and one vertical line all you have to do is make sure your area of interest is in one of the four squares. You'll find that this places the area of interest very close to the same place as the 1/3 grid. So, with fewer grid lines you get the same result. Another benefit is that you will become less dependent on grid lines in general. They can become a crutch if you rely on them too much.

Any idea where the random pose button has gone? Cant find and its the only reason i have the app

@laurenball_illustrator3 ай бұрын

You're right, the "Random Pose" button used to be located in the main menu, under the "Add Inventory" button. The older versions of Pose Tool 3D did not provide any pre-set poses, so the "Random Pose" button was the only option besides posing figures completely from scratch. Now the new version does provide poses (under the "Add Inventory" button). And they've added a new feature "Face Pose". This new "Face Pose" button is where the "Random Pose" button used to be. I think this is a much better process than before, since now you can choose from one of the preset poses and be much closer to your imagined pose than if you just kept hitting the "Random Pose" button numerous times till something sort of useful hopefully showed up. I hope you find the new preset poses helpful as a starting point. They do keep adding new ones with each update.

Thanks for commenting! I used to use Sketchup for that exact thing. I always use my room as a learning exercise to test out these modeling apps. And I would still be using Sketchup now except it's too expensive. When I searched for a free alternative I discovered FormIt and after learning to use it I can't believe how much better it is. Good luck on modeling your room!
