| Sketching versus Drawing what are the differences between sketching and drawing | |||||||||||
| Sketching Sketching is about being free, free to interpret what is in front of you whether it is a person that you are sketching, a landscape, a still life or a more abstract vision. Sketching is about making marks that are lively and interesting, quick deft marks, bold marks that are expressive of you and knowone else. Sketching is about letting yourself go and not worrying what the outcome is going to be like and letting your pencil do the work for you. To sketch you need to be relaxed and to get rid of all preconceived inhibitions what you think a drawing should be like and to create something that can be totally different to the subject matter. Drawing Drawing is totally different to sketching, drawing is more architectural more akin to technical drawing where you want everything to be more precise and neat, this doesn't mean that drawing is in someway better than sketching. Artists like to draw a good likeness of a person or an accurate representation of a landscape etc because it feels good to make accurate representations proving technical ability, but a drawing can sometimes look a bit wooden and stiff because an artist is trying to be very accurate. In the following pages there are demonstrations and tutorials in both sketching and more finished works...I hope you enjoy them. |
