DRAWING

DRAWING . . .

As an established artist and teacher, in my opinion – providing you have an open mind, drawing CAN be taught !

All you need is passion, perseverance and practice – the more you do, the better your outcome will become and the more your confidence will grow.

progress occurs when you are prepared to make mistakes, this is a vital part of the process – the trick is turning mistakes into opportunities !

In common with art itself, there are many ways of making a drawing and no one type of image making can be regarded as better than another. When students say to me they are “rubbish at drawing”, what they really mean is, they find it difficult – it is difficult – but with practice it gets easier – it really is the same as learning ANY new skill. Often, students find it hard to represent their subject matter in a realistic way and perhaps since primary school, they have mistakenly believed that they are incapable of getting any better – I would refute that ! We are all very capable of producing exciting, moving and realistic images.

My own practice as an artist is closely linked to my research and more importantly, my teaching. I enjoy all forms of creativity and I get a terrific amount of pleasure from them – my mission is to share that passion with others. One of the most valuable things that I learned as a young teacher was reflective practice and as artists we do that all the time – it’s this that strengthens and validates our outcomes.

TEACHING . . .

I have taught in sixth form colleges, FE Colleges and in Higher Education. I also teach adults from talented amateurs through to professional artists, designers, illustrators, animators and lecturers

My EXPERIMENTAL LIFE DRAWING WORKSHOP is a 30 week rolling program, designed for learners of mixed ability : from emerging artists and designers – to ones seeking new directions or ways of responding to the human form. I have several students who have been attending my sessions since 1995 – why not join us ! GO to the MENU & select CLASSES for more information.

I teach and demonstrate IMAGE CREATION and VISUAL COMMUNICATION to animation and computer games undergraduates at the University of Portsmouth. My unit consists of 5 intense sessions of figure drawing, followed by 7 weeks experimenting with Colour, Environments and Composition. This culminates in designing a Concept Character(s) plus a real or imaginary environment. Next students demonstrate their compositing skills by initially creating an illustration, then designing a poster (with text) for a fictitious computer game. In addition to 2 hour weekly workshops the student is expected to complete at least 4 hours of SELF DIRECTED STUDY, the topic of which, usually follows on from each lecture.

What follows is an assortment of demonstrations made during lectures with my computer games students.

Week 1. Learning to LOOK is a vital part of the process !

THE PORTRAIT : Task 1.1: MEMORY & NOTE TAKING : Students split into pairs & write notes about the appearance of their colleague. After 5 minutes, their partner goes into another room and each draws their partner just from written notes and memory.

After 5 minutes of drawing in isolation, both artists meet up again and compare reality with memory.

Evaluation: next the student records the outcome with a photograph and over the next 5 minutes a further OBSERVATIONAL DRAWING is made AND both drawings and photos are compared.

This was a quick doodle I made after meeting a student for 30 seconds she left the room and I tried to recall her features – this is not my finest portrait but probably the fastest ! 16.09.16

A very quick portrait of a computer games student – he was drawn incredibly quickly, using charcoal on a flipchart. The paper is very smooth and not ideal for charcoal as it smudges very easily but this can be used to good effect – particularly when the tones (shading) are reduced or rubbed away with a putty rubber, as in the ears, nose, bottom lip and cheekbone. I also used a paper towel to smudge the background. Copyright Chrisnwood All rights reserved 2016.

Another very quick study in line and tone.

Online tutorials are very useful – for portraits I recommend the Andrew Loomis series of free books and on youtube check out – how to construct a face using REILLY METHOD by Galen.

Week 1 : after drawing each other, we progressed, creating a 20 minute charcoal drawing of our model. This was made from direct observation. I added accents of soft coloured pastel later.

WEEK 2. GESTURE, CONTOUR & MOVEMENT

A gesture drawing is a very fast (10-15 seconds) scribble intended to capture the ESSENCE or dynamic of a pose – not necessarily the proportions or anatomy but the gist of the subject.

Charcoal on grey sugar paper. The aim was to draw a continuous line : plotting with the charcoal as the eye tracks back and forth across the forms.

A contour drawing tracks around the outside edge of the pose with a considered line that should vary from thick to thin. Your pressure on the drawing instrument should also vary – thus producing light or dark lines to create emphasis. In the above drawing the line disappears completely in places, this might be where the edge of the model was hard to discern against a light background or where the edge of one form disappears into another. Drawing requires very careful observation, analysing shapes and forms.

Graphite sticks are sold in a variety of forms but in my opinion the hexagonal sticks are the best. They are 1cm thick and 11.5cms long and can be used in the conventional manner or to add variety, hold them side on to the paper and drag them across the surface. NB : The “Koinoor” ones have a paper protective covering around the sides and this needs to be picked off before drawing with them side on ! Graphite sticks are NOT woodless pencils – these too are useful but not for our purposes.

WEEK 2. HAND AND EYE COORDINATION :

“Blind Drawing” Oil Pastels © http://www.chriswoodartist.com all rights reserved 2016 : Each drawing was made without looking at the paper. The results are crude, childlike and spontaneous. Each new colour represents whether the left or right hand was used – judging by the results, I suspect the red was using my favoured hand !

Week 2. “Inverted Blind Drawing 2014” Charcoal on newsprint. © Chris N Wood http://www.chriswoodartist.com All rights reserved 13.11.13. Drawing blind : NOT LOOKING at the paper – completing one drawing then turning the paper 180 degrees and repeat.

Week 3 Structure and Proportion : you can make an accurate record of a models proportions by counting the number of times that the head fits into the body. The Renaissance artist, DURER thought that the ideal was that an average male was 8 heads high. Our model is a very stocky professional wrestler, therefore his ratio is nearer to 1:7. Proportions vary hugely and when drawing someone new it’s always worthwhile checking the ratio.

Week 3 structure and proportion “Mr Massive AKA Chuck Cyrus AKA Charlie the Lumberjack” Koh-I-Noor Graphite Stick on Flipchart. Proportion Line and Tone. Crazy Foreshortening on left Forearm Copyright Chrisnwood All Rights Reserved 2016

Here, MASS or VOLUME is drawn – the aim was to focus on building the bulk of the forms – rather than worrying whether a drawing looks anatomically right or wrong. A Koh-I-Noor graphite stick was placed on its side and dragged round and round working from the middle of a form to the edges. I exerted less pressure at the edges the cylinder of the torso.

“MASS ” “Round Two” A Quick observational charcoal drawing that was revisited in the studio. Pastel and Compressed Charcoal were added to increase the drama ! The drawing board underneath the paper had various dollops of textured paint on it and these have come through the thin paper – adding an extra layer of interest. 750x582mm © http://www.chriswoodartist.com All rights reserved Chris N Wood 09 2013

Quick Pastel, charcoal and chalk drawing on sugar paper exploring “MASS & FORM”. The drawing was made using a yellow pastel, which was placed on its side and circular movements continued until the basic forms were achieved. Lighter TONES were used for the edges and a darker TONE for the parts of the body that were nearest. Charcoal contour lines were added at the end to clarify the forms.

WEEK 3 INTERPRETING THE POSE AS A SHAPE

SHAPE : “Amy With Something On Her Mind” Interpreting the overall pose as a geometric shape, drawing that shape (in this case an oval) then completing a contour drawing of the model within the shape.Charcoal on Cartridge © Chris N Wood http://www.chriswoodartist.com All rights reserved 2014

SHAPE : “SHAPE SHIFTER” Here we see the concept of Interpreting the pose as a BASIC SHAPE, taken to the “nth” degree ! The images were repeated a number of times & the model was drawn in a number of different SCALES. The overlapping SHAPES were coloured in to add an element of ABSTRACTION.

After returning to the studio I coloured in some of the SHAPES using a selection of oil pastels (bought in USA). You can see the texture of the sheet of water-colour paper that was under the thinner flip chart paper as I drew over the it. I also beefed up some of the marker pen lines and used an eraser to get rid of the charcoal marks. © http://www.chriswoodartist.com all rights reserved 2013.

GRAVITY “THE FLIPPING CHAIR” Charcoal on flip chart 750x582mm. The drawing at the top was drawn with the model sitting comfortably with his feet and the chair legs firmly on the ground. The second drawing was made by rotating the chair so its back was on the ground then the model assumed a sitting pose around the chair. The aim of the pair of drawings is to show how GRAVITY is affecting the FORMS. For example look how the calf muscle is drooping in the second drawing whereas the leg muscles are tense and compressed in the first drawing. Check the upper arm too. copyright http://www.chriswoodartist.com all rights reserved 2013

“POISE 1.” & “POISE 2.” A balletic series of drawings exploring the essence of poise – the turn of the head, balance, turn of the foot, expression as seen in hands. Note the construction lines and rough shape of the silhouette of tone that indicated the pose in seconds .

PERSPECTIVE LIGHT & CHIAROSCURRO :” LIGHT AND LIGHT” This drawing is does not really feature extreme contrast – as a true in a true Chiaroscuro drawing. However, it was made by placing a strong spotlight on the floor in front of the model to create extremes of light and dark – which it did. Sadly in the allotted time I didn’t draw enough of the shadows ! Charcoal on flip chart 750x582mm ©www.chriswoodartist.com all rights reserved 2013

RULER DRAWING : STRAIGHT LINES, FLAT PLANES & VOLUME “Mike in Contemplative Mood”Graphite Stick on Cartridge Paper. ©www.chriswoodartist.com all rights reserved 2013 First a stick man is draw to guage the proportions and angles across the limbs and angles of the limbs themselves. Then the outside edges or contours are drawn using straight lines ONLY. Next the sections are described and the flat planes across the FORMS to determine the edges of areas like the shins etc.

PERSPECTIVE & FORESHORTENING Charcoal on grey sugar paper The lower leg, torso and skull are very foreshortened and to accurately draw this pose measurement and counting the number of times the head fits into the body is a useful way of planning out your drawing ! In addition, the width across the hips was a useful signpost. 841x594mm © http://www.chriswoodartist.com.all rights reserved 2012

PERSPECTIVE & FORESHORTENING Charcoal on grey sugar paper The lower leg, torso and skull are very foreshortened and to accurately draw this pose measurement and counting the number of heads there is in the body was a useful way forward ! In addition the width across the elbows was almost that of the head to the knees. 841x594mm © http://www.chriswoodartist.com.all rights reserved 2012

“DEPICTING SPACE” Following on from measurement and proportion, here I have distorted the pose by making the head smaller to create a more monumental set of proportions . The tones of the head are light whilst those in the foreground are more darker with more confident mark making.

“DEPICTING SPACE :aka Study of a Foot”Again, following on from measurement and proportion, here I have played with the proportions . The tones of the head and shoulders are light whilst those in the foreground are darker with bold mark making.

“PORTRAIT OF A STUDENT” Graphite Stick on grey sugar paper. The surface or “support” as it’s known plays an important role in the subsequent drawing – if you draw on newsprint which has a shiny surface this is great for some media and not so good for others. Here is a drawing on sugar paper which has more texture to it than newsprint – therefore the results are darker and more expressive. 841x594mm ©www.chriswoodartist.com all rights reserved 9.12.13

“G”: Bamboo Drawing © chriswoodartist all rights reserved 2012. Charcoal on A1 (841 x 594mm) Cartridge Paper October 2012. This drawing was made by taping a piece of charcoal to a 1 metre bamboo cane. It sounds far worse than it is and with patience, you can achieve accuracy and a good degree of fluency. It forces you to stand away from your easel and see all of the drawing all of the time rather than stepping back from your easel every now and then.

really nice drawings. WHat is cartridge? and black sugar paper? Thank you
- chriswoodartist

  Many thanks for your kind comment ! Cartridge Paper is usually a heavy paper used for illustration or routine drawing – it’s more commonly found in sketchbooks. I really like Fabriano Cartridge paper and buy it in 10 metre rolls. Sugar paper is also known as construction paper and is a course, cheap, tough paper that comes in a variety of colours and is the staple of most schools in the UK. The downside of coloured Sugar paper is that it often fades in strong sunlight, which is why (when I can afford it) I use Canson Pastel Paper.
  Best Wishes ! : ) }

I will be adding to the DRAWING page over the next few months as I’ll be demonstrating drawing to animators and computer games students again – such a shame fine art students in the UK don’t seem to draw any more ! Theory is all very well but it shouldn’t be at the expense of drawing. Rant over ! : ) }

Wow! What amazing drawings. You are right drawing is not a gift, it is a process and takes alot of time and observation in order to create. I especially enjoy your digital creation of your drawings as it makes it come to life. If you’d like give my art a look and tell me what you think, have a good one.
