C-03 BEGINNER: DRAW WITH LINES

This project is designed to help improve your skills at seeing and drawing lines – especially fuzzy lines, which are the foundation for drawing animals with fur

This project is divided into the following three sections:

OUTLINING KAYLA’S PROPORTIONS: In this section, your goal is to sketch Kayla’s

head, face, and ears on your drawing paper proportionately correct

HATCHING FUZZY OUTLINES: Fuzzy lines are used to outline almost all furry animals

What I call a “fuzzy line” is actually a grouping of short curved lines When you look at most drawings (especially contour drawings) of fur-coated animals, the perimeter appears to be one raggedy line However, when you look closely, you can see that the edges of the fur are made up of tons of lines that are curving in various directions, ragged, uneven, and of various lengths and thicknesses

OUTLINING A KOALA’S FACE: In this section, you outline Kayla’s eyes, nose, and

mouth with nice neat lines

Suggested drawing supplies include good quality white drawing paper, graphite pencils, kneaded and vinyl erasers and a pencil sharpener

11 PAGES – 18 ILLUSTRATIONS

This project is recommended for artists from age 8 to adult, as well as home schooling, academic

and recreational fine art educators

OUTLINING KAYLA’S PROPORTIONS

In this section, your goal is to lightly sketch Kayla’s head, face, and ears on your drawing paper

proportionately correct A sketch is a quickly rendered drawing that illustrates the basic elements

of your subject with very few details Proportion refers to the relationship in size of one

component of a drawing to another or others

Pay close attention to the lengths and curves of the various lines which outline the different parts

of Kayla Use an HB pencil, and keep your lines very light so they can be easily erased

ILLUSTRATION 03-01

When drawing an oval or a circle, rotate your paper and look at your

shape from different perspectives Examine

its reflection in a mirror to help locate

problem areas

1 Draw a circular-shape to represent

Kayla’s head

Leave space on either side for her big

fuzzy ears

Shapes are the outward contours or outlines

of forms or figures Basic shapes include

circles, ovals, squares, or rectangles

ILLUSTRATION 03-02

2 Sketch a

partial

circle on

each side of

her head to

mark the

locations of

her ears

Remember; don’t press

too hard with your

pencils!

3 Sketch two small circles, approximately halfway between the top and bottom of her head, to mark the locations of her eyes

ILLUSTRATION 03-03

4 Sketch a circle close to the bottom of her face to mark her snout

ILLUSTRATION 03-04

5 Sketch a vertical oval shape, as her nose, extending from the space between the eyes down to the center of the circle that is the snout

Note that the oval (the nose) cuts into the snout

6 Compare your drawing to mine and fix any areas you’re not happy with

Double check the various spaces, and the lengths and curves of the various lines, which outline the different parts of the sketch

ILLUSTRATION 03-05

HATCHING FUZZY OUTLINES

Fuzzy lines are used to outline almost all furry animals What I call a “fuzzy line” is actually a grouping of several lines of different lengths Yet, when you look at most drawings (especially outline or contour drawings) of animals, the perimeter appears to be one raggedy line

A contour drawing is a drawing comprised of lines that follow the contours of the edges of

various components of a subject and define the outlines of its forms A quickly sketched contour drawing captures a seated figure and his clothing

The illustrations on the next page show how the edges of fur are actually made up of tons of lines that curve in various directions, and are ragged, uneven, and of assorted lengths and thicknesses

Look at this contour drawing of a dog

Then examine close-up views of the lines that make up the outlines

7 Use your kneaded eraser to pat your sketch lines until they are so light that you can barely see them

You can clean your kneaded eraser by stretching and reshaping (also known as “kneading”)

it several times until it comes clean

8 Outline Kayla’s head with short fuzzy hatching lines

As you render each section of fur, watch very closely the different directions in which the

lines are drawn Take your time

9 Use both long and short fuzzy lines to outline her ears

Take note that the lines are longer along the lower edges of the ears Longer lines indicate that the fur is longer in these sections

Always place a piece

of clean paper under your hand as you draw Each time you work on a new section, remember to move your paper so it’s always under your hand This prevents you from smudging your drawing, and protects the paper from the oils in your skin

OUTLINING A KOALA’S FACE

In this section, you outline Kayla’s eyes, nose, and mouth with nice neat lines Keep your pencils sharpened so your lines stay crisp and thin

ILLUSTRATION 03-14

10 Use a freshly sharpened

2B pencil to outline the

eyes with neat lines

11 Draw a tiny circle in the

upper left section of each

eye, as the highlights

A highlight is the brightest

area of an eye where light

bounces off its surface

12 Add a small curved line to

the lower inside section of

each eye to complete their

almond shapes

13 Use your 2B

pencil to outline

the nose

Take note that the

nose is wider at

the bottom Also,

the lower part is

not as rounded as

the top section

14 Add two small

comma shapes as

Kayla’s nostrils

15 Outline Kayla’s muzzle as two separate sections, with the top section wider

Take note that the lower section is a simple U-shape

16 Fill in a small dark section (where the two sections meet) as her mouth

ILLUSTRATION 03-17

Trang 10

17 Use a 4B or 6B pencil to fill in the circular sections of the eyes

Leave the highlights and the tiny inner section white, to help make the eyes look more realistic and shiny

18 Erase any sketch lines, fingerprints, or smudges with your kneaded eraser molded to

a point (or you can use a sharp edge of your vinyl eraser)

ILLUSTRATION 03-18

If you wish you can try drawing some fur

on her face and ears

When you are happy with your drawing, sign your name and put today’s date on

the back

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

Drawspace http://www.drawspace.com incorporates her unique style and innovative approach to curriculum development This site offers downloadable and printable drawing classes for students of all abilities from the age of eight through adult Students of all ages, levels and abilities have praised the simple step-by-step instructional approach This site is respected as a resource for fine art educators, home schooling programs, and educational facilities throughout the world
