</p></li></ul><h1 id="lesson-1">Lesson 1</h1><ul><li><p>since writing and drawing both involves the pen, there are some habits that we bring when starting to draw;
|
|
one of the most common form is our grip;
|
|
</p></li><li><p>we mostly use only our wrist which is suitable for creating precise and finer detailed lines;
|
|
this is perfectly fine for letters but not for lines that come in a variety of length
|
|
</p></li><li><p>beyond our wrist, we can use our whole arm and shoulder;
|
|
this enables to easily create longer lines with confidence
|
|
</p></li><li><p>this course also enforces to draw with the whole arm;
|
|
the way to do this is to simply glide and practice with the following exercises
|
|
</p></li><li><p>if you're familiar with or have seen figure drawing videos, there are some certain beliefs to grip the "correct way" with the backhand grip;
|
|
just like in <a href="/wiki/2021-07-22-14-09-26">Programming</a> where people insists the best way to code with different paradigms to the point of dogma, there is a resemblance when it comes to arguing the best way to hold;
|
|
it is best to know however that things apply differently in different context (i.e., the backhand grip is only applicable to pencils, not pens)
|
|
</p></li></ul><h2 id="exercise-comments">Exercise comments</h2><ul><li><p>Superimposed lines - this is an exercise enforcing to draw with your arm;
|
|
it is a straightforward exercise so far
|
|
</p></li><li><p>Ghosted Lines - this is where the ghosting method is introduced which is essential as more exercises will build upon this technique;
|
|
it is an interesting exercise especially for me having some hand-eye coordination issues ;p
|
|
</p></li><li><p>Ghosted Planes - this is "Ghosted Lines" exercise but on steroids;
|
|
enforces the ghosting method even more
|
|
</p></li><li><p>Tables of Ellipses - this is where I have problems with creating smooth ellipses;
|
|
I eventually realized my problem is how I grip and how it fall backs to creating ellipses with my wrist instead of my arm;
|
|
it's harder than I thought to draw circles with a pen;
|
|
it's a disaster;
|
|
this is a habitual problem and will work out on this;
|
|
I'm very tempted to restart this exercise but as the course says "No grinding and attempts at mastery before moving to each exercise"
|
|
</p></li><li><p>Ellipses in Planes - I've done a little warm up with creating ellipses with the ghosting method and it indeed improve my ellipses unlike the previous disastrous result;
|
|
most of the ellipses appear to be confident but not much in accuracy;
|
|
that's the next thing to be worked on the upcoming warm ups, I guess
