Shape Design /// Part 3 : Refining a Drawing
Added 2025-04-24 19:39:32 +0000 UTCIn Part 2, I showed how to begin a drawing using the Envelope Technique. In this video, I demonstrate how to carry that process forward to a finished piece.
It’s all about repeating the process of identifying the character of abstract shapes and translating them into your drawing. The shapes simply become smaller and more subtle as you go.
I also touch on other topics such as atmosphere, value, and edge control. I’ll be diving much deeper into each of these in future videos!

Thanks Justin! My favorite art is that which look like it fun to make, rather than tedious. Sometimes I'm able to get that quality too.

2025-05-06 02:02:00 +0000 UTCha! I'm going to have to start using that one. I always feel a bit disappointed with the result when I allow myself to simply copy the subject. There needs to be some greater motive than to replicate. Still, many artists push things a lot further than I tend to do.
