The drawing elements combine to represent a figure. All the elements are in the mind while drawing, but as it is practiced, they become almost immediate and involuntary..
The necessary elements are the line, the form, the proportion, the perspective, the light and the shadow. The combination of all these allows the end result to be achieved.
These skills build on each other. That is, understanding what a line is leads to understanding shape, leading to understanding proportion, and so on..
When drawing the right hemisphere is used, the artistic part is activated. You look at the world in terms of lines, shapes, and colors, and the relationship between these elements.
Most basic element. It is formed from the moment in which the drawing tool (pencil, brush, crayon, marker, digital pencil, etc.) rests on the area intended for drawing.
It is the base element of the drawing. The line separates one area of the drawing plane from another. A simple line segments the piece of paper in two.
The more lines that are added, the more complex and numerous the separations become. A line can be uniform, and all of the same width or of different widths.
The shape begins when the first line is drawn. Shape is the information that is presented between two or more lines, it is an element enclosed by a line.
The shape defines the object that you want to represent. Incorrect use of shape results in a drawing that does not look like what it is supposed to be.
It is the size of a figure in relation to the size of another. Proportion is what dictates that, in humans, the legs are longer than the arms, the middle finger longer than the index finger, and the nose the same length as the width of the eyes..
If the proportion is wrong, the drawing does not look right.
It is the illusion that things further away look smaller. To make something appear to be further out of the plane, it is drawn smaller than the object that is furthest in front.
Perspective drawing gives a three-dimensional feel to an image. In art, it is a system that represents the way objects get smaller and smaller as they move away from the scene.
Simple or one-point perspective is the simplest method of making objects look three-dimensional..
Similar to perspective, only that in the case of volumes it refers to the extension and magnitude of the drawn body (length, width and height). Like perspective, through light and shadows a three-dimensional perception of the body is obtained.
Light and shadow are used to create depth and atmosphere in a drawing. To make a realistic drawing you need to add a shadow because everything in the real world has a shadow.
A drawing without a shadow appears to be flat, two-dimensional, and unrealistic. Adding a shadow adds a bit of perspective to the drawing, because it indicates that there is something in front of or behind the object that casts the shadow.
Before starting to draw the elements of the drawing should be located on the paper. The size of the paper surface is taken into account and the elements of the drawing are located in this.
For example, to draw a human body from head to toe, you would mentally place your head at one end of the paper to make room for the rest of the body to fit..
The shape of the drawing plane determines the composition of the drawing.
Texture is a two-dimensional technique that, based on strokes, establishes a series of perceptions about the drawing, giving it more or less realism. When a drawing lacks texture, it is flat, while if it has it, it should generate sensations that can be felt in reality, that are tactile..
The drawing may or may not be colored. However, it is one of the most important aspects of the plastic and visual arts, being in many cases subject to form. Its application can radically change the perspective of a drawing, influencing the psychology of the observer.
