Charcoal 101
Best use:
•For rough sketching and gesture.
•Available in soft or hard stick form or soft or hard in
pencil form.
Shapes:
•What we see around us can be simplified on paper in to a
series of basic shapes.
•Most obvious shapes are cubes and spheres and it is helpful
to see objects in these terms when you begin to draw.
•A square comes in handy when approaching objects of various
sizes.
•Consider building a box for it to fit and work inwards.
Ellipse
•Thus, it follows the same rules as when you draw a circle:
it contains arcs, it has 4
segments which are equal.
Using the idea of the ellipse and a cylinder is a great way
to look at shapes and drawing objects.
Tips:
•Consider the outside and work inwards
•Think of a box and elliptical
•Keep ends even
