Drawing is a crucial element of visual arts since it constitutes a noteworthy element of fine art. Evidently, a drawing highlights crucial information about the object under study.
It also shuns the use of words in recounting occurrences in real life. Modern drawings make use of ‘dry’ or ‘wet’ media; furthermore, drawings do not significantly differ from painting.
During the drawing process, it is important to look at the connection between the vertical and horizontal lines of the image. The identification of the angle is tenable using a compass. It is remarkable to note that the measuring process lacks significance.
Additionally, the pose of grasping the pencil is crucial during illustration. An example is evident when the vertical line is placed against the second line to form an angle. This determines the accuracy of the angle under formation.
During the course of coming up with angles, it is important to shun the preconceived knowledge concerning the object. Instead, the artists should create new ideas to bring out the subject in a real situation. Proper consideration of the layout as evident in accurate joints makes the drawing appear real. Evidently, figures such as portraits attain proportionality.
When drawing figures to exemplify three-dimensional aspects, it is important to darken the regions that are further from the light. This reflects the tone of the drawing. The direction of light influences the side of image with the shadow.
Interestingly, the strength of the light influences the shade of the shadow. Additionally, lighting in the drawing also affects the feeling created by the figure. Two lighting aspects influence the ‘mood’ of a drawing. This incorporate the direction of lighting, and the magnitude of the light. During high intensity, light may blur some element of texture thus creating a perception.
Composition is a significant aspect when producing quality artwork. Plans are initiated while organizing each of the image’s elements in a proper way thus communicating the mood/feeling to the observer. The positioning of the image together with the lighting will influence the feeling, which comes to the artist’s mind. In essence, the artist’s ideas ought to exemplify the viewer’s perceptions.
The distance of the main figure relative to other figures in the drawing is an imperative element in art. This aspect influences the size and the ‘negative space’ in the drawing.
This is an important feature in presentation of the drawing since it highlights important themes in the background. The arrangement in the background and emphasis on objects highlights the message, which the artist aims to communicate. Indeed, motion becomes articulate with the intention of passing appropriate information.
Conclusively, drawings highlight the cultural setting of the artist. For example, aspects of religion may arise as the theme, which the artist intends to highlight. The drawing may represent a deity, group worshippers, and worship places. Music/dance may become manifest after studying an artistic drawing.
It is worth denoting that music and worship are subject to separate or comprehensive consideration. Concurrently, drawings on nature may show the geographical background of the artist. This may be an important hint, which may highlight his home setting.
Additionally, it may offer a suggestion on the gender roles in the society. Interestingly, economic activities may show how the subjects make their income and the core pillars of the economy.
Concisely, the artist may choose the cultural perception she wants to create in the viewer. Summarily, fine art is incomplete without drawing. Therefore, perfection of the art is important to enhance reality in drawings.
