Steps in sketching still life
1. Observation
Before starting to draw, you should carefully observe the object you are drawing, analyze the composition and tone of the entire picture, and achieve the desired result in your mind. There are several. Observation generally includes methods such as overall observation, comparative observation, physical observation, structural observation, virtual and actual observation, etc. These observation methods are very important for the basics of sketching and painting. Proper use can effectively improve the picture effect of sketching.
2. Configuration
The most critical step in configuration is to grasp the perspective and proportion of the object. If you do not grasp these, it will not be easy to express the volume of the object. . The volume expression of objects is also a part of the configuration. Whether the sense of volume is good or bad is closely related to the vividness of the picture. Failure to pay attention to the volume expression of objects will give people a very lifeless feeling.
3. Shaping
Fully understanding the nature of the boundary between light and dark is the key to strengthening shaping. In layman's terms, the boundary between light and dark is the boundary between two different surfaces in an object. It is also the key point in the structure of the object to be expressed.
4. Detailed depiction
Not only configuration and shaping, but also issues such as how to make the edge lines natural, how to contrast the background and the object, etc., cannot be dealt with during the painting process. Overlooked details. Detailed description includes the texture of the object. As the name suggests, it means whether the material of the object can be shown in a painting, as well as the smoothness, roughness, softness and hardness of the object. These must be gradually cultivated in the painting process. During the practice of still life sketching, it is very helpful to have more targeted exposure to objects of different materials to express the different textures of objects.
5. Overall adjustment
As the last step of still life sketching, it is a process of adjusting, unifying and perfecting the picture. When describing in depth, it is inevitable to ignore the relationship between the whole and the parts. At this time, it is necessary to make comprehensive adjustments (mainly referring to the physical structure, but also including tone, texture, space, primary and secondary, etc.) to make choices and highlight the main body.
2. Key points of sketching
1. When sketching, you should look at the structure of an object as a whole and take a long-term view. Consider the relationship between each object and draw the overall picture well. As long as the structure of the object and the relationship between light and dark are properly handled, the drawn object will look very full.
2. Perspective is also an important point for sketching. Perspective relationship determines the three-dimensional effect of an object. Generally, there are three key points in the performance of perspective relationship: near large and far small, near real and far virtual, near wide and far narrow.
3. Master the proportional relationship between various parts of the object, such as the proportion of local length and length, the proportional relationship between light and dark levels, etc. Learn to measure accurately and express objects on paper according to the proportions you measured.
