Continuous Line Drawing - Challenge for September
A
continuous line drawing is one in which a single, unbroken line
is used to develop the image. Although mostly created as an exercise,
many continuous line drawings can stand on their own as finished
works of art. As an exercise, continuous line drawing forces the
artist to closely observe the perceived lines of the subject. While
focused mostly on describing the contours,
shadows and form can also be communicated depending on the approach
taken.
Why Create Continuous Line Drawings - Aside from the fact that a continuous line drawing can be a work of art in its own right, it is also a worthy drawing exercise for developing hand-eye coordination and observation skills. As artists, we need to spend a bit of time in practice to further develop our drawing skills.
Any
mark-making tool can be used, but pens, markers, and graphite pencils
are most commonly used.
The "Rules" for Continuous Line Drawing
While
there should never be a set of rules for making art, there are a few
parameters to make the drawing exercise most effective.
The
first thing you should recognize is that no drawing will be
perfect. With continuous line drawing, the imperfections will be very
clear. However, it is often these very same imperfections that make
the drawings so visually interesting. So, instead of avoiding the
imperfections of the mark, embrace them and allow them to add a bit
of character to the end result.
Ok, now
to the "rules"...
- Any mark-making tool can be used, but pens, markers, and graphite pencils are most commonly used.
- Once you place your pen or pencil on the surface, do not (try not to) remove it until the drawing is complete. Your goal is to describe the subject with one, singular line. It can become thicker and thinner in areas, but it should never break.
- Try to move your hand at a similar speed in which you observe the subject with your eyes. This will help to create more accurate proportions and shapes. But remember, perfection is not attainable.
- Do not erase. Leave the imperfections and let them be a human element in your work. (As humans, we are attracted to artifacts that are clearly made by other hu---mans.)
- Repeat. Do several drawings in one sitting and try different tools. You may find that you are more comfortable completing the exercise with a graphite pencil instead of an ink pen or vice versa.
