Drawing like a pro - 41, Drawing a mortar - Commenting on your drawing (Power up 100%)
Hi friends!
This lesson was not homework so I am happy to see the enthusiasm of wanting to do this exercise.
This is a new drawing sent by @stef1 which I will comment on today.
At this stage, we had seen how to draw circles on a square, and how to make different shades of gray by hatching.
In that sense @stef1 has made an excellent drawing, both the mortar hole and the shading are well done.
The shading within the hole looks fine to me, there are vertical and circular strokes to indicate depth and circular cavity, perhaps it should be a bit darker up at the edge of the surface, however, there is a good sense of depth.
The problem here is that white line you leave between the mortar and the shadow (red arrow, bellow). The shadow must touch the object. To make a difference, the tones should be a little different as I explained in this feedback.
Do not forget that the shadows must be flat on the ground (projected shadow), this can be achieved with a diffuser or a tortillon. See tools
In case you want to leave a subtle thin white line to separate the mortar and the shadow, this "white line" should be on the subject, not on the shadow.
Lovely drawing @stef1, as always. I Like the care you take to make a very clean drawing without damaging the paper, that is very important, the rest will come with practice!
don't worry about shadows yet, we'll see that very soon.
I wish you a very nice day and good exercise!

I had not noticed that distance of the white line between mortar as you indicate, of course it makes sense it has to be flat and the shadow is reflected, what a detailer, for something so minimal a drawing can change or not be oriented, but stefi1 was sure that He hadn't done something right, and it seems to me that his work was really excellent, thanks for the explanation, definitely every detail counts!
Cheers!
Hi, thank you for stopping by!
That's right, the devil is hiding in the details)
In general, Steph's drawing looks great. Observation and a sharp eye...sometimes one small detail can make a serious flaw.
Bravo to both of you :)
Всё верно, чёрт прячется в деталях)
В целом рисунок Стеф выглядит прекрасно. Наблюдательность и острый глаз...иногда одна маленькая деталь может сделать серьёзный изъян.
Браво вам обоим :)
Thanks, friend!! Greetings.

Hi Jorge, thank you for this comment, yes I noticed and also I just remembered you mentioned the same when I did the balls running towards horizon, that is sometimes happening with the students that we need to be reminded few times. I appreciate your advise and thank you for your time.
You're welcome!
