Le Basi sul DISEGNO DAL VERO

Hello everyone and welcome back to my channel. In today's video I want to share with you some simple basic indications to be able to make real hand-drawn drawings. To draw from the real, you need to train the ability to reproduce a three-dimensional image while we are observing it. The photographic copy is very different from the real drawing, because our eye always perceives the photograph as a flat image, which does not happen when we reproduce something that we literally have under our eyes. If you are now starting to focus on drawing from the real, compose simple compositions made up of a maximum of four objects, a bit like this. Taking into account in drawing from the real also simple quick and intuitive sketches, we will also improve when we make a photographic copy. As a first thing, to center the drawing, you have to imagine a straight line that cuts the composition in the center, and then reproduce it in the center of our sheet. Once we have established the center, we must imagine lines that cut in half all the objects, and guess how far these lines are from what we did in the center of the sheet. When we have established the first indications of the drawing, we can start to form the objects trying to make them as schematic as possible through geometric shapes. In this case, the apple in a circle, the cup in the coffee maker in a rectangle, the plate in an oval, and the book in a parallelepiped. After having sketched everything, we can move on to put other details. To be able to understand the different heights and proportions, I took the apple as an indication. Extending a horizontal line, I had the first indication on where to compose the different parts of the lower area of the coffee maker. Then I extended a vertical line on the edge of the apple, and so I found the point where the handle of the coffee maker matched. A tip I want to give you to understand the different heights of the composition, is to focus on a single object, and then draw some lines to understand where the other objects are placed compared to what we have chosen. Once we are satisfied with the sketch, we can make the light and dark, and correct any errors with this. I decided to make a simple light and dark, shaded, using a 6B pencil, a shade and charcoal. I start by dirtying the darkest areas with the pencil, and then I blend them with the shade to eliminate the line and thus have a base on where you can make the light and dark. When we have to create the light and dark from a real drawing, we have to imagine the composition in a gray scale, and guess the darkest areas from the lightest ones. In this case, the darkest area of the composition, without considering the shadows, are the handle and the lid of the coffee maker, the dark blue of the book, the red of the apple, the metallic gray of the coffee maker and the white of the cup. In this case, when we make the light and dark, we have to understand that the book must come from a darker gray than the apple, but less dark than the handle. I continue to add dark areas with the charcoal and illuminate some areas by erasing with the eraser, and I intensify the shadows and the leading ones. And here is our sketch done! I hope you enjoyed this video and that it has also inspired you to try to make sketches from scratch. Try to get behind a sketchbook and draw what you see without effort, and I assure you that slowly, by training your eye, you will improve more and more.
