Had a great morning of drawing. The crowd was thick for morning coffee at Blueprint Coffee. Anna, (an aspiring animator), and I drew as people placed their orders and kept up with the scene with our pens and ink.
Overheard:
Child: "Mom why do they call this place Blueprint?"
Mom: "Because I think they followed the blueprint to make the prefect coffee."
Some things we discussed (plus a few extras) that I wanted to note around techniques and themes were:
- Drawing small boxes with limited lines (like 10)
- Drawing the panoramic scene.
- One and two point perspective
- Breaking down multiple views of a scene as it progresses.
- Action drawing versus precision and finding a balance.
- The concept of the cartoon as a simplified gesture
- Breaking down sub-regions of a scene
- Figures in motion
- Textures
- Symbolizing
Over the next week I will break down what I can of each of these points a couple per day..
