  1. BASIC DRAWING SKILLS 6th Grade Art & Introduction to Art Ms. McDaniel

  2. Drawing Vocabulary 1.Line– A line is the starting point of all drawings. It can vary in width, direction and length. 2.Shape– The outline of a figure or form. Shapes can be geometric (rectangles, triangles, and circles, etc.) or organic (irregular). 3.Negative Space- The space between or behind the objects on the page. 4.Shading – A continuous series of grays which are used to make an object look 3D and to create the illusion of light. 5. Perspective – the illusion that an image has space and distance. 6.Texture– Making a drawn object look like it feels in real life. (I.E. rough, smooth, etc.) 7.Light Source – The direction from which a dominant light originates. The placement of this light source affects every aspect of a drawing. 8.Proportion– The size of one element of the composition as compared to the size of another related element. For example if a person has a head larger than their entire body, then we would say that they were out of proportion. 9.Gesture Drawing– Drawing a form using scribbles and non-skilled pencil strokes. 10.Value - The lightness or darkness of a color and the relative lightness or darkness of a surface.

  3. Drawing - Line Lines are the basic element of drawing. All drawings are made up of lines, either thin or thick. Even a complicated drawing is really just made up of intersecting lines. There are lots of different types of lines.

  4. Drawing - Line Lines can be thicker or thinner. A drawing made with only a single type of line is not as interesting as drawings made up of different types of lines, like the example below. THINNER LINES THICKER LINES

  5. Drawing – Line By varying line sizes, you can create an optical illusion to fool the eyes.

  6. Drawing – Line All drawings start out as simple line drawings and lead to completed drawings with the addition of shading, texture, etc. 1. Beginning Lines 2. Add Shading 3. Add Value 4. Add Texture

  7. Drawing – Shape • When a line curves around and crosses itself or intersects other lines to enclose a space, it creates a shape. • Similar to a silhouette or an outline, a shape is two-dimensional. It has height and width, but no depth • It has one boundary and a single surface.

  8. Drawing – Shape GEOMETRIC SHAPES – smooth edges and are measurable. ORGANIC SHAPES – round, complicated edges – often found in nature.

  9. Drawing – Shape When we combine simple shapes, we begin to get the start of a drawing. This monkey is drawn with simple lines which become complex shapes. Although the image is made up of simple lines and shapes, our brains see a monkey.

  10. Drawing – Shape If you can break a complex shape/picture into simple shapes, then you will have a much better grasp on drawing a picture you may have been previously unable to draw. You can add details and adjust the shape after you have established your basic form.

  11. Drawing – Shape From your basic shape, you can add curves, lines and other details to make your drawing look like the picture.

  12. Drawing – Negative Space • Positive space is the area occupied by any solid object. The dragon is a solid object so it occupies positive space.

  13. Drawing – Negative Space • Negative space is the area NOT occupied by a solid object. Negative Space

  14. Drawing – Negative Space • This can be used to create great illusions as the brain can jump to one visual conclusion or the other, depending on whether you automatically see the positive space first or the negative space.

  15. Drawing – Negative Space • Negative/Positive Space can be used to great effect when creating drawings and designs.

  16. Drawing – Shading & Value Value is the lightness or darkness of a color. Value makes objects appear more real. All objects have more than one value. In drawing, this means a full range of shades from absolute black to absolute white and all the greys in between. You achieve these values while drawing by pressing down HARDER OR SOFTER with your pencil.

  17. Drawing – Shading & VALUE Your drawing needs to have a full range of VALUES. This drawing is too DARK. It is difficult to distinguish many details. They have only used the last part of the value scale which does not make the drawing as effective as it could be.

  18. Drawing – Shading & VALUE Your drawing needs to have a full range of VALUES. This drawing is too LIGHT. Everything in the picture looks washed out because the artist has only used the first part of the value scale.

  19. Drawing – Shading & VALUE Your drawing needs to have a full range of VALUES. This drawing uses the full range of the value scale and as a result, it is very well done.

  20. Drawing – Shading & VALUE Your drawing needs to have a full range of VALUES. Don’t forget your highlights. Highlights are where the light is hitting the subject. They should be the lightest thing on your drawing. Drawing your HIGHLIGHTS makes your dark values seem even darker.

  21. Drawing – SHADING & Value We establish a full range of value in a realistic black/white drawing with SHADING. Shading is making an object more realistic or 3D by drawing where the lightness and darkness is on an object according to a light source. You can make your object more round and more believable by shading.

  22. Drawing – SHADING & Value Shading is what takes your drawing from simple, flat shapes to a realistic representation of what you are trying to draw. You can tell that this has the lines of a rose, but on first glimpse, it is hard to tell what the drawing is of. When you add realistic shading, this one is instantly recognizable as a rose.

  23. Drawing – Shading & Value – LIGHT SOURCE To establish where your shading needs to go, you will need a LIGHT SOURCE. A light source is where the light shines on your subject. Shadows can be drawn by being able to tell the direction your light source is coming from and drawing them opposite.

  24. Drawing – Shading & Value – LIGHT SOURCE A light source is where the light you are using to draw with is coming from. If we take away all light in a room, then the room is black and we see nothing.

  25. Drawing – Shading & Value – LIGHT SOURCE Depending on where the light is positioned, we see shadows on different parts of Bob. This makes a large difference when you are drawing. You must think logically where your light source is and draw your shadows directly OPPOSITE of where the light is. Think of Bob as a 3D object where shadows will slide around his face depending on where the light source is coming in.

  26. Drawing – Gesture Drawing Gesture drawing is making a very quick drawing using very light easy strokes. Just do overall stuff. It should not include lots of details. It is a good way for you to warm up or get a basic shape.

  27. Drawing - Texture Texture is a very important concept in art. In order todraw realistically, all drawings must have texture. Everything has texture – smooth, soft, rough, veiny, grainy, etc. In art, there are two types of texture: Actual Texture Implied Texture

  28. Actual Texture Actual texture is making a rough surface on a piece of art – painting in thick layers or making a sculpture with a tactile surface – something you can physically touch and feel.

  29. Implied Texture • Implied texture is drawing or painting a surface to look like what it actually feels like. • All drawings and paintings have to have implied texture – this makes them realistic. • There are two types of implied texture: • REAL Implied Texture • MADE-UP Implied Texture

  30. Implied Texture - REAL Real applied texture in a drawing or painting are textures that actually occur in real life. For example, leaves, stone, water, etc.

  31. Implied Texture – MADE-UP Made-up implied texture is drawing with a texture that does not occur naturally – like a pattern.

  32. Drawing - Proportion Out of Proportion In Proportion Drawings need to be in proportion for them to look realistic. If you draw one thing much larger or smaller than another, then it throws the whole drawing out of proportion and makes it unrealistic.

  33. Drawing - Proportion Proportion can be intentionally manipulated for various reasons – humor, abstracting a painting, etc.

  34. Drawing - Perspective Perspective is a mathematical way of drawing distance accurately. Drawing using perspective tricks the eye into seeing depth on a flat surface. It is based on the way the human eye sees the world. There are two types of perspective: Linear Perspective Atmospheric Perspective

  35. To create the illusion of space, the artist creates a vanishing point on the horizon line. Linear Perspective • Vanishing Point – The single point on the horizon line where all the lines on the ground seem to come together. • Horizon Line – The place where the land and the sky meet.

  36. Objects are drawing using orthogonal lines which lead to the vanishing points. Linear Perspective

  37. The effect the atmosphere has on the appearance of an object as it is viewed from a distance. The colors of background objects become less saturated and shift towards the background color, which is usually blue, but under some conditions may be some other color. Atmospheric Perspective
