- RECTANGLES not SQUARES:
Rectangles are needed to plan for the edges and orientation of the final paper. They can be about the size of a Metro Card. Rectangle should look like rectangles, not squares
- LIGHTLY in PENCIL:
• So you can make changes easily
- SIMPLE SHAPES and CLOSE LOOKING
• Look closely at your still life for the SIZE and POSITIONING of objects in relation to each other. Also look at the SPACE around your still life
• Sketch out placement with simple shapes, no details needed
- DO NOT MOVE STILL LIFE
