Due: Tuesday, September 22
Spend at least three hours doing a cross contour drawing of your shell--whatever takes that amount of time for you: an entire shell, part of one, more than one, etc.
- Use a diagonal long axis
- No outlines
- Draw larger than life size, fill the paper with your drawing
- Use conte, charcoal, conte or charcoal pencil (sharpened tool)
- Use at least 18" x 24" white paper with a 1" margin on all sides
- Write/sign name on BACK
- Use value only in the context of line value: darker lines for closer parts of the form, lighter for farther away
- Use one line (this can be made up of broken, overlapping lines to imply one line) at a time, drawn around the cross-ways of the shell
- Draw carefully, slowly
- Be as precise as possible
- Exaggerate all form changes
- Draw cross contours over plane changes to reveal 3D form
- Look for and draw each cross contour line with variety. Each line should be different than the one before and after it.
