DRAWING: Copy of a Courbet Self-Portrait

To get acquainted with the concepts of value, shading and "light-logic," Read pp. 194-204 in Chapter 10 of DRSB. Then focus in on and follow the directions found on pp. 200-204, copying Cobert's self portrait into your sketchbooks. DUE Monday, Dec. 8.

  • Use shading, not line
  • Make sure you have adequate density, contrast, and range
  • You may want to draw it upside-down to engage your right-hemisphere mode of thinking
  • You may use either figure 10-10 on page 203 or figure 10-3 on page 197, whichever you think would be more helpful
