Hi!
I made a sketch that involved more anatomy. A friend sent this in and I liked it so i drew it!

I wanted to make a similar artwork of hands and arms we made at art class in 2012. It was filling up shapes from lines.
Sketching will always be lines and shape and gradation. I read about chiaroscuro technique and wanted to master it. It's the light and dark contrast.
- For anatomy studies, I used the basic circle and oblong shapes to make the basic foundation of the sketch.
- Then outlining it lightly before shading.
- Determine shape
- Sketch lines
- Shade
- Apply shadows and highlight
(5) Maybe consider texture and the type of shading you want to apply whether it is smooth and realistic or a rough sketch feel.
Also remember aesthetics, which means are my lines smooth? Natural? Pleasing to the eye? Is there a true likeness to what I am drawing? Is there overall a beauty or meaningfulness to this?
(These I often ask when I am producing art)
I took these pictures this morning.
For last night these were the good shots I took:
- What's so nice about filling in the shading is you see it come to life, there's more volume and value from the shading and highlights. It's exciting!*
I like this shot a lot. It focuses the snakes perspective and mouth while the feet look so much in critical danger. This whole picture explains a lot in one representation.🌿
This is also my second time drawing a snake, it can be challenging but there is fun to it!
It's fun when you're into animals and details. Here I designed my own snake for a visual representation of a vision of a particular saint. I colored this and was a collaboration work so I should post about it when I get permission from my friend who also had other drawings which he contributed.
Super fun!
Thank you for stopping by to see my drawing, let me know what you think! Critique and suggestions are always welcome!
Have a beautiful day!
