Drawing Challenge Week 7
Aim
- study the natural flow of leaves and flowers to find the light. Draw 2 clusters of leaves with organic flow
- draw 4 different Japanese style waves using natural flow
- draw 2 wings in different poses with different flows
- study and draw the snake body, using various size circles to build flow
- draw small sleeve design using a snake body and flow with the arm. Note my arm template, considering the ball of the shoulder, the angle of the trip and forearm, and the bend at the elbow
This is a loose exercise. Study and explore flows in nature. We'll use it to our advantage when designing tattoos later.
As we've done in previous exercises, we'll continue to think about how nature behaves and model our work around that.
Using nature's flow contributes to making great designs, especially with tattooing. Japanese waves consider the overall shape and flow of the crash, allowing each finger wave to flow in the right place and direction.
The leaves in figure 2 consider the nature flow of leaves and how they grow. Leaves and plants naturally grow in specific order to reach light so they can grow. It's worth studying.
In figures 3 and 4, I play with flow and it might work with the shape of the body part we're designing on, such as the wing flowing down the side of a forearm.
Also see figure 7, these small exercises on body part templates are fun and useful.
Consider not making things static when drawing with shapes. We want flow and movement. Like in figure 5.
The snake is made up multiple circles, varying in size and placement, so the body has good flow.
