According to this definition, geometric drawing is considered to be that which is made following the rules of this discipline. However, geometric drawing has a wide application, since it can be found not only in mathematics, but also in graphic design, architecture and other related disciplines.
In that sense, we have made a selection of Geometric Drawing Books that will help you better understand its use. Today we will tell you how to use perspective drawing techniques to draw more realistic human faces and heads.

Drawing the Human Head in Correct Proportions. Measurements and Proportions of a person's face Here is some background information about the face, its measurements and proportions.
This is important to know to draw the head correctly. Open the templates in your art software, reduce the opacity of the layer to a suitable level creating a reference layer, and draw on a layer on top of the reference layer. Figure Drawing For bltadwin. This is especially helpful in the case of foreshortening. The way plumb lines work is to hold up your pencil exactly vertical or horizon - tal. These serve the purpose of are then linked to the appropriate mediums preventing mistakes being made, sometimes for execution.
However, one should only be at great expense to the artist or patron. As students or and gusto. Breaking with traditions, beginners of drawing we should develop an techniques, and theories is the hallmark of inventory of marks for the different mediums the true artist.
There are many used as early as the 17th century. Before ways of sharpening. A particular point this, rods of lead or silver known as silver produces a particular result. The artist point were used as implements for should experiment to discover what is making drawings. The modern form of possible and how to make each type of lead or graphite pencil with its wooden pencil meet his particular needs at any encasement first came into use about the given time.
The pencil can be used for a variety of The pencil fundamentally works by purposes and, as with any material you pushing or pulling the lead end across the use, you must be fully aware of its surface fibres of the paper, which act as potentials and its limitations - different graters, breaking up into small flakes.
In the ensuing chapter lead into the fibres of the paper to leave a some of these practices will be revealed mark or trace. The few pages give some idea of the wide range softness or hardness of a pencil varies of mark making possible. When you have depending on the amount of clay mixed looked at them, take each of the pencils in with the carbon. The softest varieties of turn and see what marks you can make.
Artists and Apart from being very stimulating and a designers will use a range of pencils, way of opening your mind to new varying their choice according to the effect possibilities with your drawing, you will they are trying to achieve. As artists, what we feel through the can be repeatedly exposed.
This is done by materials we use has an affect on what we the action of sharpening the pencil using a produce, and familiarity with those purpose-made sharpener or blade. They only usually linear progressions. Hard pencils are denoted by the Hard pencils are mostly appropriate for letter H.
As with soft pencils, they come in a drawings requiring accuracy. Although the marks designed object. These drawings come in a made with hard pencil show very little number of different types of perspective, or variation it can be used in an expressive parallel projection systems, ranging from flat manner. As with soft pencil, tone can be built orthographic plan or elevation drawings to using a cross-hatching system, although the 3D perspective illustrations.
Horizontal lines. Vertical and horizontal. Diagonal lines with left Diagonals with horizontal sloping left and right emphases. Horizontal line achieved A combination of the with the side of the point.
Herring-bone pattern. Pencils at the softest end of the range pencil. Soft pencils are denoted by the letter can be used to produce blocks of tone. The HB pencil is a mixture of hard and soft graphite stick is generally more useful for and is the pivotal pencil between the two this type of work and for producing larger extremes. The only soft pencil suitable for refined These pencils are designed for the fine work requiring great precision - essentially artist to express particular ideas, for example the preserve of the hard pencil - is the fine through the building of tone, the creation of clutch pencil.
Drawing in soft pencil of a still life using observed directional light. You will find rough ideas. The pencil type is solid graphite of about the same thickness as an ordinary pencil.
The stick is a peeled back to reveal the graphite. It is a the graphite. The difference being that pure do this quickly and efficiently. The pencil will graphite is not encased in wood. They are in also allow you to describe shape and form, fact solid lengths of graphite that come in but you must keep the lead sharpened. As you might gather from the illustra- these materials are more open and tion this type of material is not meant for expressive by nature.
They relate to our detailed accurate drawings. Instead it is responses, our observations and ideas, and more suited for robust drawings of an might be the sort of drawings we jot down in expressive nature, and it works well together a sketch-book as a record of our first with a plastic eraser. They might be a The type of drawings we would produce part of our visual research and notation. They can be drawings which textural marks. Mood is very easily effected give an explanation or give expression in with this medium, and it is definitely not their own right that is, works of art in suited for drawings of a technical nature.
It is themselves and not just supports for further also more appropriate for larger drawings work. A useful material that can enhance the It is a medium that is very versatile, and use of the soft pencil is the eraser, and the before you start to draw with it in earnest two work very well together to create you should experiment with the potential expressive effects.
Whereas when used with that the medium has to offer. Because it has the hard pencil the eraser is associated solely no outer casing you can make so much more with the elimination of mistakes, as a use of the side.
I personally always Different effects can be produced with soft associate a very liberated and dynamic type pencils and graphite if you vary the amount of drawing with this material, and if you of pressure you use. Pressure enables you to approach your drawing in this fashion with activate the surface of the picture plane, the graphite you will get the best results. As well as AND GRAPHITE varying the pressure, try to apply the Unlike the hard pencil, the soft pencil and material in as many different ways as you can graphite are designed to make a much find, using different movements and heavier mark and to create a tonal range - different areas of the material.
Using a twisting movement with the graphite on its side. Pulling and pushing motion. Dragging movement. Stabbing with the end of the graphite. Lateral mark making. Lateral and vertical mark making. Vertical mark making. My personal when we use it to remove a mistake. Our advice would be to leave a ghost of the sole aim with it is to obliterate the correction and not to erase it completely, as offending area so that we can get back to this shows the evidence of your thinking the business of progressing with our and your development.
Because the eraser is associated with mistakes, a lot of negative feelings Other positive ways of using the eraser are about it and its function are directed at it. Erasers can also be with use the greater become our feelings of used to make expressive statements and inadequacy.
It really is time for a re- emphasize textural marks - powerful assessment of the eraser and its role in our examples of this approach can be seen in work.
Used effectively it can be one of the the drawings of Frank Auerbach. The most positive tools at our disposal. They are not, and can be back charcoal marks, is a superbly used as a positive element in your work atmospheric form of eraser use. Many artists make decisions about where There are many forms of eraser on the things go, or how things should look, in a market which purport to remove all sorts of piece of work.
In the first instance these media from the surface being worked upon. This has and some explanation of how they function. Usually used for charcoal and pastel, it is also suitable for other process and is evidenced in many works, materials such as pencil. The chief particularly in drawings where the artists are advantage of a putty eraser is that it can be working out their initial ideas and kneaded into any form to erase in a intentions.
This is very useful for a One of the major errors that beginners positive approach to drawing and seeing the make is to erase mistakes as they arise and eraser as a tool which brings something to a then start again. This puts them in a position drawing rather than merely taking of making more mistakes or repeating the something away.
Tippex fluid. Used for removing light pencil marks. Ink marks are very difficult to remove entirely with a rubber. Erasers for removing ink and typewriting come in pencil and circular forms.
You can also purchase a combined eraser that works for both pencil and ink, with the pencil part of the rubber at one end of the rubber and the ink part at the other. Obviously, before applying this Always remember that you need to work within method you must ensure that your paper health and safety guidelines when using is of sufficient weight and quality to allow materials.
Scalpels and razor blades should you to scrape away its top layer without always be used with care, and when they are not leaving a hole. Note too if any of the fluids you use are flammable or toxic. When the layer is dry, the surface can then be reworked.
Tippex pen. Chinese white. It is an instrument damage the surface of the paper and so of last resort because while removing the must be used with care. However holding the When we start out along the visual creative pencil in this way is very appropriate for more road, we tend to bring with us a lot of theoretical and technical drawing where you preconceived notions about what a drawing is need more control.
The pencil can also slip quite easily One of the first projects I put before my in this position, giving marks that are not students in the studio involves an exploration accounted for, and therefore bring a life to the of our relationship with the drawing drawing that is more creative because we are implement. We will assume, for our purposes, allowing for the mistake or the slip to take a that this is a pencil.
Breaking down positive part in the drawing. If we are not Holding the pencil like a dagger - this is the careful the familiar can become a straitjacket, opposite effect to holding the pencil in your and this extends to how we hold the pencil. There are several expression. The very physical nature of this ways and each of them will tell you something drawing employs the movement of the whole new about the implement you are using and arm rather than just the wrist and the hand.
If you try holding your implement in Holding the pencil between the toes - I have experimental and unorthodox ways you will seen some amazing drawing done by students produce drawings that have a variety of in this position. You will widen your approach to Then place the board on the floor, put the mark making, whether with a pencil or any pencil between the toes and proceed to draw.
Use the figure when doing these drawings. In the first stage of the project I ask Treat them as experiments, and as fun - you students to make test samples and just see will be surprised at the results. With your fingertips. In your teeth. Like a dagger. Between the toes.. One of these ways involves using the pencil both as mark maker and measuring device. What you are doing in effect is building a grid on which to map out your drawing. This approach is appropriate for all types of observational drawing and for different subjects ranging from landscape and still life to figure drawing.
I have chosen a figure for our example because the pencil is still the most popular measure for this type of drawing; go to the life rooms of any art college and you will find it widely used. This enables you to see the 4. Repeat this process along an your subject matter and take a imaginary vertical down the body, using that measurement. This is always done on a first head proportion as your measure for vertical axis.
For instance, if we are drawing a dividing the figure. This will give you a figure, usually the measurement will be from proportional overall length of the figure - the top of the head to the bottom of the usually an average person will comprise chin. Close one eye as you do this, to focus eight head proportions in all from tip to toe. Turn your pencil to until you come to the bottom of the chin.
Each head proportion relates to a specific part of the body: A. It is important to remember always to assessed. This does, however, usually turn measure only on the horizontal or vertical out to be a very small, tight drawing, and is axis - if you measure at an angle you will get not advisable unless you are very experi- distortions — and always measure with your enced.
The other way is to make a scaled arm straight out in front of you and from the drawing relative to your proportions; for same position to maintain consistency. Posture is the way we hold ourselves and has a direct relationship to the changing nature of proportion. As you can see in the example opposite posture is informed by directional lines that are determined by the angles of the body and the relevant proportions in relation to your body when you are in a pose. Posture also allows us to understand and come to terms with the human form that exists in space on a two dimensional surface.
The posture lines usually follow the central dynamics of the pose, and pick up the changing edges of the form on the main parts of the body. You should always give lots of consideration to how you pose your model, because the posture will say so much about your drawing and what you are trying to achieve through it.
One way of using postural lines is by extending them and in doing so one can find relationships that extend to other objects in a drawing. This is another way of making a drawing have proportional accuracy. It also creates an analytical directional tension in the drawing. As you can see in this example it is shown by using a directional line that determines the angles and proportions of those angles relative to the other relationships of the body and their changing angles.
Posture lines usually follow the central dynamics of the pose through the figure. They also pick up the changing edges of the form on the main parts of the body. The aim is to find of composing your picture and getting the associations by extending the axis from 10e objects in the scene proportionally and objects to locate other essential el0ments in positionally correct.
Cut the window to scale in relation to your paper. To do this and get accurate proportions in relation to your paper, follow these instructions. For example, if you want the height of your aperture to be three inches, mea 0 0 You now have an accurate scaled proportion of your piece of paper. Some students string cotton across the window to make a grid.
Put the window up to the you see through the window on to your world and choose your composition. Now paper. Doodles are usually created with potential of their ideas in their sketchbooks. They are usually a secondary They make thousands of rough sketches part of our thinking process. For example continually changing and rethinking their most of us doodle when we are in meetings ideas.
Stretching the thinking and the - it helps us to escape the boredom of the dynamics of their designs to the limit. We also doodle allows for client comment. Before honing in when we are on the telephone when we tend on a final statement, all this starts with visual to use the phone pad as a sketch book. I thoughts translated through sketches. All believe there is a wealth of ideas that come those ideas, even the redundant ones are left from doodles so treat them as research.
Shape can have a very intuitive influence. Most artists always carry a sketchbook with Only as we become more experienced do we them. It allows us to record moments that become formally aware of how to construct a include landscapes, portraits, textures, composition. Intuitively, the beginner will architecture, nature, light, atmosphere, and invariably place the mass of the subject still so on.
This is all visual research that is life, portrait, whatever in the middle of the stimulation and a continuous resource for picture plane. In 90 cases out of this our ideas. Sketchbooks of artists are placement is a mistake, creating too much of fascinating to look at, as in the sketchbook a focal point and not allowing the eye to be you can see the origin of ideas, and taken on a journey across, and into, the rest responses, that the artist is engaged with.
What we intend MOVEMENT to do with shape in these projects is to give you basic experience in using hard pencils to The importance of movement through the create shapes that, when drawn on a picture picture plane cannot be over-emphasized.
The artist can engage Sometimes this movement across and the eye of the viewer so that it moves across through the plane happens intuitively, but the picture plane, stop the eye at a certain more often than not it is confirmed when point and then move it back into space, you see an artist working and they step back bring the eye forward again, and at the same from the picture and gesture towards their time across the picture space, and then take piece of work with arm outstretched, head the eye right out of the picture to the end of tilted sideways and hand or thumb looking its journey.
Most viewers are unaware of this as though they are engaging with the picture visual encounter, which tends to occur in some way. This is when the artist is trying within a few seconds of looking at a picture. There are, of course, many ways other Rhythm is very obvious in other forms of than the use of movement by which artists art, such as music, dance and writing. It is a can - either consciously or subconsciously - sort of beat holding the work together.
In a enable us to read and understand their work. Rhythm can be created, especially if we want to achieve an evident in the use of tone, colour, mark and expressive effect. The artist In any given picture there are a series of does this by drawing the space around tensions that must play off and counter each objects rather than by trying to capture the other so what we finish up with is a pictorial shapes of individual objects in isolation.
This is what is meant by a composition having a semblance of order and balance. If you look at most classical works of art, particularly landscapes by Poussin or Claude, you will see this quality in abundance. We can see the picture plane and our sense of the there is order and balance and that our eye decreasing scale of the shape perspective. There is no rhythm suggestive of the ticking of the ambiguity interrupting the flow. Movement second hand of a clock.
What we shall show you is how that line travel over and into the surface of the can be employed to demonstrate your ideas, picture, and how we read the picture in a expressions and observations. Finally, we explain First, we must complete a series of the nature of diagrammatic and perspective exercises to see and experience what we can drawings both from theoretical and achieve with the material.
In many ways observational approaches. We will show you these exercises are like the warm up routines how to develop these methods for use in that sportsmen and women go through your particular approach to drawing and to before they take part in an actual event - by expand upon them whenever you feel it is loosening us up they enable us to focus on appropriate. The next stage involves experimenting Medium: 6H, 5H and 4H with the concept of shape, space and As you will see, the types of marks or lines composition over the picture plane.
I personally would not use tonally than was achievable with the them to build up tone, because the contrast previous set of pencils. You can still make you can produce with them is limited.
There clearly develop the weight of the mark, and are no hard and fast rules in art, and if it bring more expression and life to what you suits your purposes to work tonally with are doing. These are ideal implements for pencils in this range, then by all means do putting down your first thoughts and making so. Next we are going to draw shapes - shapes The definition of shape is that it has that will imply meaning in a non-repre- perimeter and lies flat upon the picture sentational way and will create tension on plane unless we relate it to other shapes the surface of the paper.
The shape contains which can then imply space. It is a very useful the essence of any composition - a exercise to practise drawing shapes — combination of harmony, balance, rhythm, squares, circles, triangles, rectangles and any movement and spatial implications. These type of organic shape. It is also useful to are the basic components that hold a practise turning shapes into illusions of drawing together and the dynamics that a form; for example, making a circle into a composition needs to express an idea.
The sphere, a triangle into a cone, an oblong into interrelationships between them are key to a cylinder. These exercises are essential for the making of a successful drawing. In the the beginner. The basic shapes you will encounter in most drawing compositions. Without a sense of triangle a cone, and the oblong a cylinder.
Spheres Cross-sectional analysis. Cube: parallel lines. Form of oblong: parallel and perspective lines. Pyramid shading using vertical lines. Cone: diagonal line shading.
In this example, after to pull the eye upwards to the top edge of the Malevich, shape is used to bring a sense of picture plane. This triangle is the base on order, balance, rhythm, harmony, movement which the rest of the picture hangs and the and space to the picture plane.
We see the device that holds it together. All activity in the bones of the composition that any great picture revolves around this basic structure picture has as its structure. Playing with composition: Line creates a Shape overlapping shape. Tone emphasises space. The of the picture plane we are seized by a sense of composition is based on the organic flow of falling and despair.
Note also a sense of space shapes. There is more fantasy, almost a dream- that gives the illusion of movement through like quality. The organic shapes and the sense the picture plane. This is created by scale and of texture suggest that the picture is growing weight of mark. The space is constructed by and expanding before our eyes. Line creates organic shape. Shape overlapping shape creates space. Shapes creating a transparent overlap. Textured overlapping shapes creating space.
It is now important With the Malevich and Miro copies, we have to try to assess how far that line goes into the been looking at examples of positive paper before it encounters the vase that holds composition, drawing shapes of objects we the flowers. Do this by looking through your have in mind and placing them to create an window mount again, remembering to look effect. A different way of understanding shape through it in exactly the same position every is to draw the space around the positive.
This time. The window mount should be is called the negative space, and is a very proportionally marked as showing halves effective way of creating relationships quarters, and eighths as seen in the example between objects in a drawing. One can now begin to make an When analysing the drawing of sunflowers assessment as to how far that line travels into after Van Gogh I can see quite clearly how the picture by using these proportions.
The negative shape, or the way in. We would then translate that shape around the flowers in this composition observation from our window mount to our is just as important as the flowers or the drawing allowing the line that we first started positive shape, and it is integral in holding the with to travel into the drawing a quarter of the composition together.
The negative shape way, where it would then engage with the underpins the composition and helps the vase. Now the line would start its journey sense of harmony, balance, proportion, and around the vase being monitored for rhythm that gives the picture its wholeness. Eventually the line will complete its subject in its environment or context. Then set up as if to draw, example 1. Now In example 2 you will restart the drawing take a viewfinder or what we know as a in exactly the same place over the top of your window mount and frame the composition of first line.
However, when it engages the vase the flowers. We are going to copy the this time the line will detour around the composition in the window mount and place bottom edge of the vase, and it will progress it on our paper, by mapping the composition following the outline of the vase until it using the negative space.
This part of the drawing should be easier to accomplish HOW TO START as the first part of the drawing will help you in your understanding of the second part of the In the first example you will see that what we drawing and so on.
The drawing as in example have drawn what appears to be a silhouette 2 will now contain three sections to it rather over the top of the flowers. Do this by starting like a simple jigsaw construction. Start to silhouette, and finally the overall shape of the progress the line towards the centre of the objects that are contained in the composition paper following what would be the line that i.
This part of references. Now we have a complete work the drawing completes the drawing of the that pulls on a number of visual elements to negative space, and at this point we can now make it work. There is also an example in the see how important this concept is as it holds charcoal section that illustrates how a the whole composition together in a spatial negative space drawing can be constructed. In other words the objects appear to be anchored in a real space, rather than floating in the picture plane 3.
Not only form by the use of shading. We can see in the has he given them form, he has given them a drawing after Picasso opposite, below that character, and a life. He has created the form regular shapes have been given the illusion by using different types of bracelet, of three dimensions by using various well- crosshatch, and linear lines to build up tone.
He has taken All these processes are consistent in that these shapes and turned them into they follow the planes of the form You will see from the examples that some systems of shading suit different types of forms. An example of shape using tone after Morandi. Sphere using crosshatch shading.
Diagonal line shading. Below: After Picasso. Note that although different methods have been used, all follow the plane or surface of the form.
This drawing seems to have composition is based on a more organic flow a life, and we have a sense that it is still of shapes. Part of its impact is created by the growing. All the elements we like quality. Try success of the following portrait, which I to do this with a free, expansive movement, built up in a series of six drawings. I used a sensing the shape rather than using your eye 2B pencil and cartridge paper, but almost to gauge it precisely. Repeat the shape several any pencil would do, as would any type of times, drawing over your original lines, as I paper.
