Drawing Together Episode 13: Earesistable
this episode is Part of the Drawing Together live video series – learn more here
Drawing ears! Holy moly these are weird shapes. I’ll be working with graphite again today, studying the form of an ear to see what we can learn and apply to larger portrait drawings. Work from a photo of your own ear, or follow along using this reference image: https://bit.ly/2XqT0Sg
Today, I’m working with:
- White Sketch Paper (Hahnemuhle “Skizze 190”)
- Graphite Pencil (HB, 4B)
- Carbon Pencil (in case we need something darker)
- Kneaded and Rubber Erasers
In this session, we’ll cover:
- How to draw in graphite
- Shading techniques
- Creating texture
- Linework
- Subtle value control
Had to leave early on the ear but wasn’t unhappy with it…
