How to start a new
picture
1.
SELECT YOUR SUBJECT
 |
Will you interpret the
subject abstractly, semi-abstractly or realistically? |
|
Will you interpret the
subject as flat 2dimensional space or 3dimensional
space? |
|
Will the source of your
subject be imagined, remembered, copied, drawn
using a photo source? |
2.
DECIDE ON THE MATERIALS; KIND, SIZE AND COLOR OF
PAPER
|
Does your idea fit a
small or large size image space? |
|
Will you work on a paper
surface? |
|
What color and texture
of surface will work best? |
|
Does your picture require
a special paper? |
3.
THINK AND Imagine THE
OBJECTS IN SPACE
(composition)
|
Imagine the position
of the primary objects. (avoid emphasizing
the center) |
|
How can you achieve
rhythm, and repetition? |
|
What can be a color
or tone effect that can be repeated for harmony? |
|
Think about what kinds
of contrasts you can have: Sizes? Shapes?
Colors? Tones? |
4. DEVELOP
THE IMAGES
|
Develop secondary
areas; details inside of the main objects
or forms |
|
Develop a sense of modeling
(shading) to make objects look 3 dimensional |
|
Develop light and shadow
if you wish to portray illumination |
|
Correct mistakes if
they detract, or cleverly, make mistakes appear
to be intentional |
|
Try to leave the work
feeling "finished." There should be
no annoying parts that seem to say, "Please
fix me." |
