"Cubist Portrait" by Phoenix Bones
Objects, Shapes, Values, etc.
• Eye, feather, mouth, nose, ear, gem, bracelets, unidentifiable objects.• Vertical, horizontal, and diagonal intersecting thin parallel lines• Shapes that are shaded or filled with patternsSize, Rotation, Etc.
• Drawings are mostly cropped and mostly drawn inside the shapes with some overlapping.• One eye is the largest, other objects are smaller and at a variety of sizes. • Everything is rotated except the earPlacement, Symmetry/Asymmetry.
• The largest drawing of the eye is at the upper left.• Other objects and textured/shaded shapes are arranged throughout the composition in a way that creates asymmetrical visual balance. • The lines and objects mostly do not go to the edge of the paper creating an empty border of space around everything.PENCIL:
• Composition sketches should be done in pencil so changes can be easily madeLIGHTLY DRAWN:
• Composition sketches should be done lightly at first, again so changes can easily be madeSIMPLE:
• Composition sketches do not need to have a lot of detail. Save that for the final project.SHADING OPTIONAL:
• Shading is sometimes good to include to help plan for balance. Dark shades are visually strong and should be used in a way that creates visual balance (symmetrical or asymmetrical). The same applies for color.•
