After sending me your four photo references for texture we can move on to creating the sketch for your knight or gargoyle. Use the same drawing process as always utilizing basic shapes and construction lines. For this week, draw ONLY basic shapes, and center line and construction lines for your design. If you chose to draw a knight and are using chainmail as a texture, look at how you can organize that design with rows and oval shapes. NO shading or values yet, we will do that next week. Take your time and focus on structure, think about the pose and maybe even include a little environment. Envision the piece as one that will stand upright , not flat. Consider ways to help the figure stand if you were to actually build it. As an example, maybe the gargoyle has long wings that touch the ground and act as a brace to help it stand. Again, keep in mind that you should put in about two hours on his week's first part of the sketch. Make all of your shapes as accurate as you can and have fun with it!
Please email me an image of your sketch by Monday June 1
