Sketching the Eye
Without drawing the eye, as the artist puts it, is symbolic. He starts by sketching a simple structure and later adds details to create a more complex object. The work transforms graphics using lines and the blocking technique. According to experts, lines have a significant role in representing objects (Jones, 2013). In this instance, blocking alters the depiction of the work by interacting with the lines of variable thickness and roughness. The core object is completed by underpainting the surrounding structures, which is the artist's statement.
Creating the Basic Structure
To begin, the artist sketches with a blunt charcoal pencil. The fundamental drawing is created using broad, freehand lines. The contrast's variation demonstrates the separation between shapes. After laying down the basic blocks, the work is carried on by partitioning them. The artist introduces a medium pencil to come up with precise lines. He pays attention to how the upper jaw interacts with the nasal bone in creating the structure of the eye. He also narrows the view to outline the anatomy of the eye accurately. This maneuver enables the creation of more definite shapes, and thus, the sketch of the eye appears. He also enhances beauty by overlaying the shadows around the eye with narrower lines.
Going from General to Detailed
I find the process of going from general to a detailed structure as a good way of drawing. First, it uses a unique approach to create an art's meaning. As a result, the viewers are driven through suspense until one can visualize the approaching structure. Similarly, I find the process in making simple elements of art as a foundation for the advanced ones. In the featured art, the first stage of the drawing is outlined in two-dimension while as the final object is illustrated in three-dimension. Therefore, the approach improves the drawing process by using basic sketches to create intricate illustrations.
