Drawings versus pictures (Drawing: Three tree drawings)

by Henk ter Heide on Sunday February 25, 2007

Buy one of my drawings

This week there was no course since the teacher had some other engagement. So I made some drawings on my own.

There is something wrong with the first drawing but it took me forever to figure it out.

Christmas tree with lighting mistake

The light is supposed to come from above the tree. So if each branch cast a shade on lower branch the dark shade should be above the lighter shade and not below.

The second drawing is save. I know it doesn’t look like a tree but it isn’t supposed to look like a tree.

Is it a tree

By the time I came around to drawing the real tree it hit me. It’s a drawing not a picture. It’s supposed to look like a drawing not like a picture. I have to start out with imagining how the picture will look as a drawing.
