Drawing from Real Life: Learn to Observe Reality

“I welcome you to the last part of this Domestika course! Thanks for taking my lessons. I hope you enjoyed the course! Our course has come to an end but I hope this is just the beginning of your journey for you. Before starting your project, you should choose a notebook that can be the size of an A3 when opened. Also write down in the notebook everything that may seem useful to you for your learning process: concepts, ideas, fears that you want to overcome. After you choose the tools you prefer, start experimenting and perform the first exercises I have assigned to you.

Draw an object at eye level and then from different points of view. Enrich the notebook with drawings that include all the objects in your field of vision, and practice the optical effects that allow you to create three-dimensionality. For the double exposure drawing, choose the subjects you will use as content and container and start setting the main volumes of your drawing. Once you are satisfied with the setting of the main volumes, I recommend that you do a general halftone in order to create a bright atmosphere to use as a basis for all the details you will add later. Eventually you will have your own notebook to consult as your personal manual! Now share your final project with all of us by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result of your illustration and the steps that led you to it. It would be great if you could show a picture of each step and add a brief explanation of what you did in each one. I would also encourage you to help and advise other students on this course - working together can be very useful and inspiring. I will also review your work and provide feedback as often as possible. Can't wait to see your exercises! Dare to see the world differently! Soon!”
