ART SPEAK
Form, as applied to drawing, is the illusion of the three-dimensional structure of a shape, created in a drawing
with shading and/or perspective.
Shading (noun) refers to the various values that help make drawings look three-dimensional; (verb) refers to the
process of adding shading to a drawing.
Light source refers to the direction from which a dominant light originates. The placement of this light source
affects every aspect of a drawing. The light source tells you where to draw all the light values and shadows.
Texture is the surface detail of an object, as defined in a drawing with various shading techniques. The senses of
touch and sight help identify the surface texture of drawing subject.
Cast shadow is a dark area on a surface, adjacent to where the light is blocked by an object.
Shape refers to the outward outline of a form.

ART SPEAK
Proportion is the relationship in size of one component of a drawing to another or others.
Drawing space refers to the area of a drawing surface within a specific perimeter, outlined by a shape of any
size, such as a square, rectangle or circle.
Outline drawings (also called contour drawings or line drawings) are comprised of lines which follow the
contours of the various components of a drawing subject and define the outlines of its forms.

Pat your
sketch with a
kneaded
eraser until
the lines are
so faint that
you can
barely see
them.
Refer to
Figure 710.
DRAWING A
MORE
PRECISE
OUTLINE
In this section, you
add additional
details to the swan as
you outline him (or
her) with thin neat
lines in preparation
for shading.

Do not draw
directly over your
sketch lines. Rather,
refer to my drawing
in Figure 711 and
the photo in Figure
701 to adjust the
lines to better
represent more
precise proportions.
Note that the outline
is drawn with fuzzy
lines rather than
smooth ones. This
helps to indicate the
texture of feathers.

ART SPEAK
Hatching is a series of
lines (called a set) drawn
closely together to give
the illusion of values.
Figure 714
Also, take note that the feathers at the bottom of her neck
appear larger than those close to the top of her neck. The
hatching lines are longer, farther apart, and more curved.

DRAWING WATER
Calm water looks more realistic when
the shading lines are horizontal and
parallel. An exception to this is when
an object or living being (such as a
swan) creates ripples in the water.
17) Draw lots of very light, straight
lines all through the
background, parallel to the top
and bottom of your drawing
space.
Refer to Figure 717 on the right.
Use a ruler.

Born in St. Johns, Newfoundland, Brenda grew up in the small town of Corner Brook. She
developed strong technical competencies with a personal commitment to self directed learning,
and the aid of assorted Learn to Draw books. During Brendas twenty-five year career as a
self-educated civilian forensic artist, numerous criminal investigation departments have
employed Brendas skills, including Royal Canadian Mounted Police and municipal police
departments. In 1992, Brenda was honored with a commendation from the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police, and in 1994, she was awarded a Certificate of Membership from Forensic
Artists International.
Her home-based art career included graphic design, and teaching recreational drawing and
painting classes. As supervisor of her communitys recreational art department, Brenda hired and
trained teachers, and designed curriculum for several childrens art programs. In 1998, Brenda
chose to end her eighteen-year career as an art educator in order to devote more time to writing,
drawing, painting, and developing her websites.
Drawspace http://www.drawspace.com incorporates her unique style and innovative approach to
curriculum development. This site offers downloadable and printable drawing classes for
students of all abilities from the age of eight through adult. Students of all ages, levels and
