OUTLINING GRENDEL’S FACE, EARS, AND HAIR

the relationship in size of one component of a drawing to another or others

ILLUSTRATION 07-01

object, and/or its individual parts Keep your lines

very light by pressing very gently on the paper with

your pencil (I used an HB)

ILLUSTRATION 07-03

3 Draw two big circular shapes

about halfway between the top

and bottom of the egg-shape

Each circular shape represents

the iris section of an eye In

humans, an iris is the colored

circular section of the eyeball

ILLUSTRATION 07-04

4 Draw a teardrop-shaped nose below

the eyes

5 Add curved lines below the nose as the mouth

Take note of the little downward lines

on each side of the longer line

6 Outline comma-shaped eyebrows above the eyes

7 Sketch a small circle in the upper right section of each eye as highlights

A highlight is the brightest area where light bounces off the surface of the eye

8 Draw partial circles as the pupils of the eyes

The pupil of an eye is the darkest circular shape within the iris

BRENDA HODDINOTT - BIOGRAPHY

As a self-educated teacher, visual artist, portraitist, forensic artist, and illustrator, Brenda Hoddinott utilizes diverse art media including graphite, technical pen, colored pencil, chalk pastel, charcoal, conté crayon, and oil paints

My philosophy on teaching art is to focus primarily on the enjoyment aspects while gently introducing the technical and

academic Hence, in creating a passion for the subject matter,

the quest for knowledge also becomes enjoyable

>Brenda Hoddinott<

Born in St John’s, Newfoundland, Brenda grew up in the small town of Corner Brook She developed strong technical competencies with a personal commitment to self directed learning, and the aid of assorted “Learn to Draw” books During Brenda’s twenty-five year career as a self-educated civilian forensic artist, numerous criminal investigation departments have employed Brenda’s skills, including Royal Canadian Mounted Police and municipal police departments In 1992, Brenda was honored with a commendation from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and in 1994, she was awarded a Certificate of Membership from “Forensic Artists International”

Her home-based art career included graphic design, and teaching recreational drawing and painting classes As supervisor of her community’s recreational art department, Brenda hired and trained teachers, and designed curriculum for several children’s art programs In 1998, Brenda chose to end her eighteen-year career as an art educator in order to devote more time to writing, drawing, painting, and developing her websites
