R-Mode and L-Mode (Vase Face)
The dominant characteristics of the right side of the brain are visual, non-linear, and intuitive. The dominant characteristics of the left side of the brain are language, numbers, and analytic. Artists typically prefer the R-mode because it is the more creative side of the brain and less logical. When I drew the vase face, I had a lot more trouble when Mrs. Haggerty was talking throughout the process. It came out much neater and symmetrical when the room was silent. This is because my L-mode was engaged in what she was saying when it should have been turned off.
Upside-Down Man
Drawing upside-down is easier because you are focusing on drawing the shapes and not specific body parts that are known to be difficult to draw. Once you get to the hands of the drawing, your mind begins to realize what it is you are drawing and the quality may not be as high. In my experience, I stayed focused on the lines and shapes throughout most of it until I got to the head. At that point I began to draw the face based on how I know a face looks. For this drawing, my line style was thick and dark. This was mainly because my pencil was sharp enough and it is not how I typically draw.
Blind Contour Drawing
Blind contour is very important when learning to draw because it teaches you how to make your hand draw exactly what your eyes are seeing. In my experience, it difficult to remember where I was drawing things but all the lines that were in random places looked really cool.
Modified Contour Drawing
The obstacles of transferring the 3D world onto a 2D piece of paper was making it look realistic. Also, balancing the viewfinder on one of your hands while drawing with the other one proved to be a challenge. The picture plane is an imaginary transparent plane that is always parallel to the artist's eyes. This is how objects are transferred from the 3D world to the 2D world. Also, drawing is defined as the copying of what you see on the picture plane.
Shaded Hand
The simple grid helps aid in transferring the drawing because you can gage where to put certain lines and how big to make certain shapes. This will make the drawing look more proportional. Using values and shading helps the image appear to be 3D. You shade darker where there are shadows and lighter where the light shines. This will give the drawing shape.
