hello Uncomfortable, thank you for you quick response.
Okay the paper forming many separate planes, due to it being crumpled makes sense, however. i do not understand"picking a level of white or black" would that not make the observation of what is white and black subjective? how do i know if i am doing the assignment right, when it is kind of subjective ?
Thank you.
It is indeed subjective. There are many things that are subjective, but students are prone to not ultimately making those decisions. This part of the exercise forces you to do so, which then equips you with the confidence going forward to not just pay attention to what's in front of you, but to also make decisions.
One of the general skills we do develop in this course is communication - it's like we're the only ones with access to the reference image, and we have to share that information with someone else, only through what we draw ourselves. That requires us to interpret what we're seeing, and to strip it down into what is most important. That is in itself subjective, and requires you to make decisions as to what is needed, and what isn't. In such circumstances, making a decision - even an inaccurate decision (like in the context of getting the proportions wrong) is vastly more important.
Thank you, finally the assignment is starting to make sense. Hopefully I can do the assignment more clearly now.
cheers,
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
