Classical Figurative
Drawing Demonstration
by
Lacey Lewis
 |
To
further develop and solidify the form, I use a white pastel pencil
to add highlights. |
 |
Here
the head has been fully developed with deep shadows and a range of
highlights. Directional lines help to define the hair. |
 |
Perhaps
my favorite part of the drawing, this area contains examples of many
techniques and ideas. Both hard and soft lines, strong and subtle
highlights, and deep cast shadows, gentle crest shadows, and reflected
light can be seen. Form-defining directional lines are visible on
the hand. |
 |
The
finishing touches including limited shading in the drapery and the
signature are added, and the drawing is complete! Thank you for following
along. |
