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." |
