Okay here, we have our basic forms and 3d form.
This is actual 3d because we live in a 3d world, but our medium is
flat, our drawing paper is flat.
So the goal is to get our drawings to feel like these guys.
One of the ways we do that is to not only draw in 3d, but to think in 3d.
And that part of that is not only looking at the edges or the sides, but also
the backside, the underside, the top side, the part you can't see.
So that's the goal here and that's what we'd be able to do in this
lesson with these drawing techniques, being able to draw through.
And also the advantage of form drawing, 3d drawing is that we will to draw from
imagination where you can take these forms and draw them from almost any
angle from imagination left to right.
Top to bottom.
And like with the cube also with the cylinder, we will be able to draw it from
any angle for imagination who also make our forms feel like they're coming at us.
So you see that?
See that?
Normally when you think of cylinder, you just think of a one face.
Maybe you can see a little bit at the top or a little bit at the bottom, but
we also want to be able to do this.
And that's cool.
That's cool to make it feel like it's coming at you or make it feel like
it's going away from you as well.
Okay.
And the sphere obviously from any angle, from every angle that
you look at a perfect sphere, the shape will be the same.
The outer edge is see what would be the same, but I'll show you some ways
too that you can make that feel more 3d because really the thing that's
important about these is we're not just drawing boxes and cylinders.
And spheres, of course, we want to be able to combine these to create more complex
forms because these will eventually become the complex points we all love to
draw simple objects, still life objects, even landscapes, and obviously organic
things like people, animals, right?
Because if you think about it, the human body can be broken
down into these basic forms.
So that's what we're going to focus on in this lesson.
How to be able to think in 3d.
Think of not just the front, but the back, not just the top, but the
bottom, the parts that you can't see.
And also to be able to draw in 3d, to draw through the form, imagine
that these are transparent things.
These are, you can't see through them, but in our minds eye we will be able
to think transparently, be able to draw even the parts we can't see and show the
audience that this that our drawing is just
as real in 2d space can feel just as real as the real thing.
One of the ways where we'll be able to get the illusion of the form to make it look
3d is we're going to be using perspective.
Now you may be familiar with some concepts of perspective and
the one of the major ideas in perspective, that's very important
and we're going to be using in this lesson is what's known as the horizon line.
So the horizon line is the imaginary line, means literally you can think
of it as the horizon on, on the earth.
When you're looking out into a landscape, you can see that,
that long horizontal line.
But what we want to do when we draw is we want to use what's called the eye-line and
the difference between the horizon line
and the eye line is that the line is really where you're - where
you are looking and also where your audience will be looking.
So when I'll be drawing in it, in this lesson, when I mentioned the eye
line, one of the ways you can think about it to help you find the eyeline
is by using a pencil or anything that you'd like to draw with and just
put it right in front of your eyes.
And this is my eye line, really.
And also your viewer's eye line, the audience, the people
looking at our drawings.
And so in the matter where you look, if you put the pencil directly in front of
your eyes, this becomes our eye line.
You can even tilt your head, tilt your head.
So when I talk about eye line, this is what I'm referring to.
It's not the horizon line, although the same principles and ideas of perspective
of the vanishing points and things that converging lines apply to the eye line,
but for us, for artists and when we're doing our 3d form drawings as this is the
one we want to focus on, not the horizon line, but the eye line or the view from
from your eyes or from the audience.
