Form sketching

The Lost Sock : August 2020

Page 1- Breakdown of how to approach drawing the forms. Remember all you have to do is take one box/block and add and/or subtract one other piece to form an "action". Please read all of the instructions. Its pretty straight forward (I hope). Page 2 - shows the Action boxes. The upper section has the more simple forms with descriptions of the action, the lower half of the page has more complex action forms with you don’t have to aim for unless you have the first objective cleared. I want you…

Here are a few sheets outlining the process and results for the homework this week. I put these together so you could keep track of how to put together compound curved forms and how to construct and evolve the angular/positional/flat plane forms with the rounded/organic/compound/"bubbly" volumes. I also included 3 pages of diagrams on with the ellipses and "jagged angle" section of the homework. If you follow the diagrams that further explains the compound form process we started in class…

So much homework....! We were to draw organic forms, textures, combined basic shapes, and plants... and lots of them! ...

1. TWO/ 2 pages of Measured STRAIGHT lines horizontally across the page. Use different drawing media...graphite (don’t smear), colored pencil (preferably black), ballpoint and felt pens (keep it at about .05 at the widest nib/tip width) 2. Diagonals across page at different angles. Remember to repeat the same overlapping line at least 8 to 10 times. the objective is to be able to aim at and repeat the muscle-memory and exactness. 3. Rhythmic jagged angles (scan example page 5) where you…
