Contour/Texture Composition Drawing

MEDIA:CONTOUR DRAWING,TEXTURE,PENCIL

I had a little difficulty finding my picture subject for this drawing assignment. I chose this picture because not only did it show two people interacting with each other, it also seemed simple and easy to draw. I started my drawing by setting up my composition by using my view finder which in my opinion helped me a lot through my drawing assignments. I drew a grid over my paper to help me proportion my image in the right areas of the paper. I then started drawing the contours of my image and outlining each detailed material I could fine. Once I was done, the hardest part for me was actually fitting the different textures from my hand made texture catalog. I wanted each texture to be able to compliment the whole image as a whole and match each part of my whole subject. As you can see, I decided to set a background on my image first. I chose about five different textures and covered the background to shoe more of my interacting image. The bumpy patterned textures of the seated tile texture, the checkered cutting board, and the barbeque rack make up a great background image. For my images skin, I chose the soft texture of a table to show the smoothness of both the woman and the man. I wanted to use the table texture because it was a great fit to compliment the smoothness of their body. With the woman's hair being a little wavy, I used the foot stool patterned image texture to create the woman's strands of hair. As for the man, I used the bumpy image of a nearby parking lot to show off and bring out his spiky hair. I had a little fun with the attire of my figures. Giving them different styles from their pants to their top. I used a patterned rack to create a little styled effect on the man's pants. I used a classroom chair to create dots for the man's shirt. As for the woman, I went and used a rigid texture of a bumpy table for both the pants and top. As much as possible I tried to make all the textures match most of the parts of my image. I also kept in mind to have fun with the drawing and just let your imagination run wild. It tried to focus more on shading to improve my drawings. Overall, this was a fun drawing assignment. deciding on which texture to put on your image was probably the hardest thing to do.
