Aces and Eights

This is a three part "how to" for going from construction lines to sketch lines to contour lines in the ongoing series of hand drawings that students seem to dislike doing.
They may not like doing hands, but I can be assured they will never forget to bring them to class and most likely will not destroy or abuse them in the process. The same, sadly, cannot be said for such other observational drawing subjects as eggs or apples.

This is a series of example drawings I made for class illustrating the idea of visually breaking an image down into its most basic parts and then using those parts to build it back up into something complex. It's kind of cheesy "How to Draw" book style, but it really is one of the fundamental ideas of not only drawing but doing just about any complicated task I think.

More nondescript, stream of conscientiousness, presentation fueled goodies.
