Week Two: Lines, Shapes, Overlapping, Proportion

Alright Salinas Sketchers! On Tuesday everyone learned about overlapping (placing things in front of other things) to create depth of space in your drawing. Everyone made great progress in drawing accurate proportions. Scroll down to view your work. Remember to click on your drawings to view them larger.


Above: Sketches by Leydi (left) and Pedro showing how overlapping can create depth of space in your picture. They also changed a circle into a sphere by adding shadows.

Drawing Challenge: Aztec God Tonatiuh
For those of you who have time, here's a little challenge for you to do this week: Use lines, shapes, and tones (black and grays) to Draw the Face of the Aztec god Tonatiuh. Take time to look for the dark outlines of the shapes. Start by drawing light guidelines for the shapes, and then draw darker outlines to finish. If you have time, lightly draw the different gray tones. Draw from this reference picture: Click here
