Artist Copy Drawing

Purpose:

• To practice drawing in the style of a well known artist;

• To practice drawing what you see, carefully noting how the artists uses marks to show value changes, volume, and depth

Artist Unknown, Title Unknown

The Essential Question for this exercise was: How do artists use marks to show volume and depth in an image?

In the drawing that I copied my artist used many different types of lines, but he mostly used hatching and crosshatching to show volume and depth in his drawing.

A specific place you can see this is in the cactus in the second column from the left. The cactus has hatching to show value and depth but then also used crosshatching to show the texture of the cactus.
