 Outside  Drawing  Assignment  Foreshortening  Project  

 •  13”  x  17”  drawing  with  a  ½  “  border  (actual  drawn  part  12”  x  16”)  

•  Done  in  graphite  with  an  emphasis  on  value  

•  Minimum  of  12  hours  required  

Due  Dates  Midpoint  Due  Date/  Progress  Check:    

 Tuesday,  October  2.    Worth  25  pts.    Final  Due  Date:    

 Tuesday,  October  16.  

•  Must  be  drawn  directly  from  observaSon,  not  from  a  photograph.      

•  Pick  an  object  with  interesSng  texture  that  is  no  larger  than  your  elbow  to  fingerSps  (shoes,  used  toothpaste  tubes,  tubes  of  ointment,  dirty  socks,  etc…..)  

Oops!    Batmobile  is  too  big  but  sSll  a    good  example  of  foreshortening.  

•  Set  up  a  light  source  on  that  object  (make  sure  you  can  see  the  highlight  and  shadow  from  your  vantage  point)  and  draw  that  object  using  the  concept  of  foreshortening.  

•  Range  of  at  least  8  values.  (1=  white  of  paper,  8=  heaviest  dark)    You  may  sign  out  drawing  pencils  ranging  from  HB  to  6B.    Heavy  graphite  sScks  are  also  available.      

•  Good  composiSon  is  a  must.  Object  must  fill  the  page.  It  is  advisable  to  do  a  few  thumbnail  sketches  from  different  angles  views  before  you  commit  to  one  sketch    

Foreshortening…  huh?  

Visual  effect  or  opScal  illusion  that  causes  an  object  to  appear  shorter  than  it  actually  is  because  it  is  angled  toward  the  viewer  

•  Process  of  applying  linear  perspecSve  to  the  figure  or  an  object.    

•  It  is  a  way  to  create  great  depth  and  drama  to  a  drawing.  

Closest  to  you  is  giant.        Farthest  away  is  icy  bicy  

•  Foreshortening  is  a  distorted  view  of  seeing  objects  in  space..Related  to  perspecSve,  objects  appear  dramaScally  and  can  be  a  main  focus  in  figuraSve  work.  

•  The  old  Masters  used  to  use  it  a  lot  to  show  how  awesome  they  were.      

Andrea  Mandegna’s  “Dead  Christ”      

•  PerspecSve  distorts  proporSons  while  adding  a  great  sense  of  realism  and  depth  to  a  drawing    

•  Your  drawings  should  focus  primarily  on  one  object,  and  your  foreshortened  view  of  it.    

Helpful  Sps:   Sit  sSll  and  straight!  A  gradual  slouch  of  only  an  inch  can  drasScally  affect  (screw  up)  the  drawing  of  a  foreshortened  object.    Make  a  mental  note  of  the  relaSonship  of  a  near  and  distant  staSc  object  to  reference  your  head  posiSon.    

•  Draw  what  you  see,  not  what  you  think  it  should  look  like.  Yes  it  looks  odd  at  first,  but  properly  finished  off  it  should  all  make  sense.    

•  Observe  how  farther  elements  seem  to  disappear  in  behind  closer  elements.  Allow  your  lines  and  detail  to  reflect  this.    

•  Note  that  elements  closer  to  you  will  seem  proporSonately  larger  than  further  away.    

•  Using  line  weight  -­‐  something  drawn  boldly  and  contrast  will  make  things  'jump'  from  the  page.    

•  Concentrate  on  detail.  

•  You  can  start  with  a  light  contour  drawing,  then  move  to    value  work…    

•  Requirement  is  12-­‐14  hours…
