Skull drawn

 

The skull was drawn. Ochre notebook.  White charcoal pencil. Normal HB pencil. 

But there are shortcomings.  Hope to draw better next time.

Two things are focused

I am focusing on two things in art

1. Get maximum 3d effect on 2d paper

2. Quality improvement 

Look at the artworks below. There are so much of 3d in them

Michelangelo 

DaVinci 

I want to make my skull drawing a great 3d drawing.  I shall use white pencil, black pencils in Ochre colored paper.

Quality Improvement shall be done by doing DMAIC for mam made objects like interiors with furniture,  exteriors.  And PDCA For humans, animals shall continue. 

Thanks for staying with me.  Bye.

My four driving principles in art

 

My four driving principles in art are :-

1. Treat (head, hands, feet) as separate and clothes as separate. This helps me in cartoons very much.

2. Cosine hatching. Cosine hatching has helped me in getting realistic shadings.

3. Triangular mesh with contour shading. A more 3d look can be given if we follow the triangular mesh method with contour shading inside the triangles.

4. PDCA drawing improvement method for living things like humans, animals; and DMAIC drawing improvement method for man-made things like furniture, buildings.

Goodbye, folks.

Skull model

I wanted to improve my portraits and caricatures drawing. 

I had ordered skull model from Amazon.in. It arrived a while back.

Practices with this skull in drawing will definitely improve my portraits and caricatures. 

Thanks to Amazon.

Recent Activities

My present activities are

Blend my shading with a tiny folded paper 

From this

Osteology for anatomy 

I am not focusing on objects in front and township drawings as there is rainfall and power cuts here in Ranchi.

SAIL township, Ranchi

My foldable chair arrived yesterday. 

But I did not use it. Instead I clicked a photo and drew this from mobile image. 

This is my first drawing of Ranchi SAIL Satellite Colony. 

Is art level 85 to 90 feasible?

I have interacted with Google Gemini and I have found that my art level is 50 to 55.

The greats like Proko, Kim Jung Gi,  Rembert Montald,  David Finch are 95 to 100.

Can I reach 85 to 90 level ? This is the question I asked myself. 

I am interested in 1. Objects in front drawing.  2. Comics drawing.  3. Anatomy drawing. 

Luckily,  I have an analytical mind and have mapped my weaknesses.  They are

1. My perspective point changes over time when drawing an objectin front. Possibly I have fish eye problem and I need conscious correction.

2. Form making of shapes imagined or seen,  is weak. I have weaknesses in 3d carvings, 3d mannequins. I need practices. 

3. Shading. My shading is average and my shading need to speak. So to say. I need improvement. 

If I improve first ;5 points will rise. If I improve second ;10 points. And if I improve third; 20 points.

Then I shall reach 85 to 90.

My Ranchi Quarters

Here are 7 drawings that I did in last 4 days of my Ranchi quarters.

I thought of getting a feedback through number of viewership and your valuable comments. Before I get into township drawings. 

I am still waiting for my foldable chair.  And Anatomy book.

My recent drawings

Objects in front 

Anatomy 

I don't try to show off with my drawings.  I am humble in front of masters.

I am doing this blog post to apprise my blog readers as to what I am currently doing. 

These two practices shall continue for 6 months or more. Till I get great mastery.

Micro-Drawing

When I say I want to draw objects in front, I am talking of Micro level things.

I am talking of Disney level thoughts. David Finch level thoughts. 

But at the same time I am not talking of hyper-realistic drawings.  I mean line drawings only.

I have an advantage in cosine hatching. I presume I have an advantage in proportions because of golden ratio expressions.

I shall be using only graphite pencils only.

To allow my pencil to do the talking for now

I presently think that I should concentrate on my pencil to do the talking. Meaning to draw objects that are in front of me. I intend to do this till I achieve professionalism in this. About 3 months. 

I shall then extend this actual object drawing to drawing from imagination. After 3 months.

I have changed my plans because things were getting muddled in my head. I told myself let my pencil do the talking first. Let me master to professional level objects in front. Then proceed further.

Objects in front drawing

I have got into the drawing fever of drawing objects in front.

I drew this.

I love my Nataraj pencils.  I love my A4 paper notebook. 

Shirdi Sai Baba

I felt like drawing an object in front of me.

We have a statue of Shirdi Sai Baba.

I drew Shirdi Sai Baba in Clip Studio Paint.

Three statements

First statement 

My funny cartoons shall be well balanced artwork with to the point joke.

Second statement 

My portraits/caricatures shall have great resemblance with well shaded colors, with shadows and with light highlights all working together to give a perfect portraiture/caricature. 

Third statement 

My comic drawing will have great 3d effect with shadows, shadings, highlights.  They shall also have great textures from now onwards if possible. 

These are my guiding statements and I shall be working towards these.

I want to be a very great artist like Leonardo DaVinci and I shall reach there, one day. 😄😄😄

Drawing Spree

Yesterday,  I saw a classic drawing video (Online Art Academy) in Youtube.  From that instant my desire for drawing went up.

Yesterday evening and today morning I did the following 

Have a nice day, folks !!
