Module 1: Fundamentals of Drawing Flashcards
a recreation of the creative person, one way that pumped up their thoughts.It is also the art or technique of producing images on a surface, usually paper, by means of marks, usually of ink, graphite, chalk, charcoal, or crayon.
Drawing
These are drawings that are created to represent the layout of a particular document. They include all the basic details of the project concerned clearly stating its purpose, style, size, color, character, and effect.
Illustration Drawing
Drawings that result from direct or real observations are life drawings. _____ or figure drawing, portrays all the expressions that are viewed by the artist and captured in the picture. The human figure forms one of the most
enduring themes in life drawing that is applied to portraiture, sculpture, medical illustration, cartooning and comic book illustration, and other fields.
Life Drawing
Similar to painting, emotive drawing emphasizes the exploration and expression of different emotions, feelings, and moods. These are generally depicted in the form of a personality.
Emotive Drawing
Sketches that are created for a clear understanding and representation of observations made by an artist are called _______. In simple words,It is undertaken to divide observations into small parts for a better perspective.
Analytic Drawing
Is used by artists to create three-dimensional images on a two-dimensional picture plane, such as paper. It represents space, distance, volume, light, surface planes, and scale, all viewed from a particular eye-level.
Perspective Drawing
When concepts and ideas are explored and investigated, these are documented on paper through ______ . Diagrams are created to depict adjacencies and happenstances that are likely to take place in the immediate future. Thus, _______ serve as an active design process for instant ideas so conceived.
Diagrammatic Drawing
_____ is used, particularly, in construction fields that demand specific dimensions. Measured scales, true sides, sections, and various other descriptive views are represented through ——–.
Geometric Drawing
The three fundamentals of drawing
Perspective
Proportion
Lighting, shading, and texture

Is the process of representing 3-dimensional objects on paper. It is what gives drawings that dimension most vital to realism: depth. Instead of laying flat on a surface, such drawings pop out of the paper and appear lifelike. A thorough understanding of this
technique is usually what separates the amateurs from the professionals. The drawing follows a simple rule: the further an object is from the viewer, the smaller it appears.
Perspective
This is an imaginary line that determines the line of vision of the represented object. It is sometimes also called the ‘eye level’. Like real life, the horizon is where your field of vision appears to end.
Horizon
These are straight lines, drawn at angles from
the edges of the represented object. These appear to converge at some real or imaginary point on the horizon.
Perspective lines
This is the real or imaginary point on the horizon
Vanishing Point
is a representation of the different sizes of different
objects in a drawing. It springs from perspective – objects closer to the viewer appear larger than those further away – but also depends on symmetry and size ratios (like the ‘Golden Ratio’). Most amateurs
struggle with getting proportion right, especially for more complicated subjects.
Proportion
is the translation of light and its corollary, shadow, onto paper. It gives your drawings depth, volume and personality – three crucial elements for lifelike drawings.
Shading
An object has a predictable pattern of lightest light, dark, reflected light and cast shadow that helps to define their shape. The obsession of this object is because there’s a pattern of darks and lights that occurs on something round and because it is affected by a light source. If you can shade using this pattern, you will create the appearance of something round and capture the three-dimensional feel of the subject.
Round objects
It will show more abrupt value changes than what you see on rounded objects. Unlike round objects that shade gradually from the highlighted area through mid-tone grays into the dark shadows, it has abrupt edges and relatively little value changes within the flat surface. There may be reflected light on an angular surface—for example, a flower pot sitting on a porch may cast a glow onto the wall behind it
Angular subjects
Objects lit by natural light will have a predictable shadows because light travels in ______
parallel lines.
Whereas artifical light may come from more than one source and cause ______
more than one shadow.
is the look and feel of a surface.
Texture
