Record headshot still-life group work, practicing making faint bright surface ups and downs.
Many of my usual sketching subjects are foreigners, and Asian faces look very friendly to me 🙋 I've been sketching for a while now.
The second half of the compilation of how to simplify the shadow of the painting knowledge points, if you are interested in following along with the next look Oh!
What is dichotomy?
Divide the light and shadow of an object into two parts: the bright side (the area illuminated by light) and the dark side of the shadow (the area not illuminated by light).
This simplification helps us to understand light and shadow more easily, and overly complex shapes can be omitted at this stage.
Why do you use dichroic shading?
When we practice, the complexity of light and shadow tends to confuse the judgment of shape, and the dichotomy of light and dark can help to incorporate more than small variations, as well as focusing more on finding variations in the length of an object's lines.
● How do you find the dichroic light and dark?
Determine the direction of the light source:
Observe the position of the light source first, so that you can tell which parts are light and which parts are dark. Use the light/dark line as the boundary between light and dark.
● The method of drawing:
Outline the basic contour in one step
In addition to outlining the contour of the object with a light brush and identifying the relationship between the front and back of the shape, the length of the contour line is one of the factors that enrich the variation.
Marking of light and dark surfaces
Separate the object into light and dark sides according to the direction of the light source.
Mark these two areas with lines or light shading to simply separate the colors into black and white, or dark and light.
Keep the bright part white or light color, the dark part can be hit with darker color, the dark side of the object can be blended with the shadow, you can refer to the header image on the bottom left to help understand.
