Drawing; Negative-Space Chair

Today most of you should've

• Drew in 2 inch margins and toned your format with graphite on your new 18x24 newsprint pads.
• Hopefully some of you also chose a composition with a viewfinder and selected a BASIC UNIT. That's key. Some of you even blocked-in the major contact points and intersections with a light gesture sketch.

The rest of this week you'll need to

• Start by drawing the negative-space shapes inside and around the chair
• Draw the positive forms, adjusting your proportions for cohesion
• Later on you'll want to concentrate on the surface aspects, including the shading, details, and textures- don't forget contrast.
• Expect us to critique these drawings next Monday, Oct. 15.

When in doubt, read Dr. Edward's directions on pages 127-132 in out textbook.
