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."
