Drawing Skills

In this task, we were told to explore types of drawing that we were taught. These drawings were :

  • Speed Drawing - Drawing an object within a given time e.g 30seconds.
  • Contour Drawing - Drawing an object that gives an outline of it without lifting the pen/pencil/marker up and just using one line over and over to make up the drawing.
  • Blind Drawing - Drawing an object without looking at the piece of media. E.g, paper. So you are more of drawing an object blindly whilst staring at it and not looking at the paper.
With those types of drawing understanding, we were told to incorporate that with our task. The tasks for each drawing are explained below :

  • Speed Drawing - In this one, we were told to draw an object within a specific time and those times were a 30second drawing and a 60 second drawing. This drawing had to be recorded to show proof that it was actually drawn in 30 and 60 seconds. Below is the drawing of both 30 and 60 seconds.
  • Contour Drawing - Here we are told to use any pieces of material that will give it a contour drawing feeling. Hence materials like threads, Wires, Shoelaces, Toothpaste, Paper could be used to come up with the 'drawing'. For my drawing, i chose a human face that i designed wires to come up with it. So after using the wires, i used more recycled materials like shoelaces and pink paper i found laying around. The pink paper gave me an idea to use it as the color of the lips and then the shoelaces i used were cut to that i could give it some eyebrows, a beard and some hair. Just to add more 'life' to the contour drawing.
  • Blind Drawing - We were asked to use any piece of recycled material like papers, newspapers, clothes, and just any piece of media that we could draw on as well use different drawing objects like paint, pencil, markers and maybe coal. After choosing the drawing object (pen or pencil) we draw on the material without looking down and just focusing on the object.
