I understand you have plenty of time at your disposal and you are drawing a lot of sketches, but i suggest you to take steps slowly. i see chaos in your 3d composition, loss of creativity in 2d composition and incorrect perspective in theme sketches.whats happening ???????? the last good sketch i have seen from you is on 25/05 3d composition. rest all after that are not of your standard. Go slow. understand one concept at a time. master it and go to the next one. at the same time dont lose what you have learnt. Sketching is not a thoughless activity. You need to analyse and think on what you are drawing and why you are drawing it like that. I can only help you if you focus on the assignments i ask you to do. i am giving those assignments inorder to develop certain skills in you. if you keep avoiding them, how can i guide you? ...

we will have seperate set of exercises for drawing human beings. so you can learn it that time. first focus on perspective and environment sketching.
Dear vidhya, good work, but you need to get hold of 2 point perspective yet. what ever method you have described is the correct one. beginners do it like that. after some practice you will be able to visually assume the vanishing points and draw the perspective lines. it comes from rigorous practice. but for now you are on track. keep going . correct the drawing and draw the shelfs in perspective. submit the drawing by 10th dec.
good job. can you use the same concepts and correct your pan shop drawing? the perspective is a little incorrect in that sketch. submit the drawing by 8th dec.
i have sent your next assignment by email. please check you mail box.
recolor all the four drawings, this time with a different stroke pattern. do them in unexpected ways. remember , the sketch pen strokes should convey some interesting pattern.
looks good. very neat. however, you can experiment with color application in a way to bring out the unexpedted way of doing it. 'that' gives a wow factor or a stunning look. what i suggested is take copies of the freehand assignments you have done so far and color them in many diffrent ways using diffrent combinations. dont be afraid of not doing it good.
now you need to move from good to great. redo the above assignment incorporating the feedback.
Dear Vidhya,
You are doing quite good. the color cobination also looks good. we have almost covered all the topics of freehand drawing and you have done a greatd job. Now attempt mock test-2 freehand drawing. use all the tips you have learnt so far, implement them and submit the drawing by 18th october 2008. this is a kind of test to evaluate you learnings so far.

Dear Vidhya, since you said you have taken a similar amount of time for all the three mediums, i suggest you work on using sketch pens as i see you color well with them. when coloring with sketch pens there are both advantages and disadvantages. the advantage is the final outcome is a bright looking attractive painting/ art. the disadvantage is if it is not done carefully/preplanned, the overall image looks very shabby. this is because when you fill the space with a color sketch pen, you can see the strokes of the sketch pen tip. if you do not fill the space in an organized manner it looks very shabby. this disadvantage can be turned to an advantage if you be creative and organized in the way you apply the strokes. follow the feedback in the above image and recolor the drawing. be creative in color application. you can take inspiration from Van Goghs starry night painting. observe how he used the strokes to give a sense of direction to different objects in that drawing. he has used shades of the same color, however for your assignment we use only a single shade for each color.
umesh
can you write down the time taken to color for each these drawings using different medium.
Dear Vidhya,
Your freehand lines are satisfactory. i will send you some 'on your own' exercises for your practice. i suggest you to take multiple copies of them and practice atleast one assignment a day. that will improve your freehand lines over a period of time.Focus on line quality. now lets move on to the next step of freehand drawing- Coloring. Use the above sketch and color it in 3 different mediums (color pencils / crayons/ oil pastels / water colors / sketchpens / any other) you are comfortable with. choose an interesting color theme. for tips on color theme read the colors chapter in the book given to you.

Umesh
You got it. now take 3/4 zerox copies of the drawing and practice darkening the lines (both left and right freehand lines) using a baclk sketch pen. submit the drawing which has got good freehand lines.

excellent work. please do the next assignment and submit. give due attention to proportion and quality of line. if you get it right the first attempt we will go for next aspect of freehand drawing., ie coloring. all the best.
redo this assignment till you get good freehand curves. Practice Practice practice. check out http://dqlabs-nata09lsdc.blogspot.com/2008/06/akrti-bangalore.html for benchmarking the quality of freehandlines.
Good attempt. the construction lines should be exactly as the ones you have drawn. from now on when ever you need to draw the proportion lines draw them like that.
i want you to erase the line that got an X and redraw it to match the mirror image. (dont redo the whole drawing, just erase the line to be corrected and do only thatpart).the line quality can be much better in general. after you do the correction scan it and save the jpeg. now using a black sketchpen retrace the lines you have drawn with HB. give attention to the smoothness of the line. scan and send me both the images.
Good Job Vidhya. one suggestion here. while trying to get the proportion of the drawing, it is better not to draw the lines very dark, because you will have to retrace the lines using a B pencil / sketchpen later anyway to darken it and it will be easier if the base lines are every light in tone. the lines you draw for getting the proportion correct can be considered as construction lines, so they beter be very light ok?. now lets move on to the next assignment. focus on both proportion and line quality. here is a tip for you. first use a 2h / h / hb pencil to draw the lines very lightly and get the proportion correct. once you are satisfied with it, scan the drawing and save the jpeg. now use a B pencil/fine tip sketch pen to darken the (construction)lines. at this point of time you need to focus on the quality of the line. complete the drawing and scan it again. send both the scanned images to me.
Dear Vidhya
i recommend you not to erase the slave grid / master grid till you are able to get the proportion of the drawing well. please take up one freehand drawing at a time ( which ever you feel comfortable with), master doing it perfectly and then move on to the next one. focus all your efforts and energy in getting that drawing excellent so that you will learn some important aspects of freehand drawing before you go to the next one. let me now which drawing you want to take up and i will guide you accordingly.
umesh
Dear Vidhya,
You need to focus on getting the proportion of the drawing correct. If you observe the feedback above , you will be able to understand how the size and shape of the spaces enclosed between the freehand lines you have drawn correspond to the given drawing. PLease do a similar visual analysis with the other 2 drawings you have submitted. they also contain similar proportion problem.
A well proportioned drawing can be acheived by a well drawn/spaced master grid. different students have different comfort levels in using the grid. if you think you need to draw more grid lines closely spaced ( which i feel is very much required in your case) please do so. there are no rigid rules on the size of the grid. the basic purpose of the grid is to get the proportion of the drawing correct. You will be erasing the slave grid later anyway. so draw/ use the grid were ever you feel is required.
while drawing the freehand lines, you should make sure to closely flow the curve to grid line relationship as much as possible. the resultant drawing would automatically be closer to the given question drawing.
redo this assignment. get a well proportioned drawing. donot erase the grids for now. later we will focus on the quality of the line.

Umesh.

dear Vidjya,
59 comments:
I took approximately 45-60 minutes to color each of the sketches in 3 different mediums.
Dear sir,
I won't be able to submit my current assignment in the forthcoming week due to my first mock exams. However, I'll try to complete it as soon as possible. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by this delay.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
Vidhya Raghavan,
Dubai
no problem. do your mock exams well.
Dear sir,
I would appreciate it if you could let me know about my next assignment as early as possible.
Thanking you.
Yours sincerely,
Vidhya Raghavan,
Dubai
i have sent the next assignment by email. please check it.
Dear sir,
I sent my assignment today. Did u recieve it?
Vidhya
Dear sir,
How do I show the depth of the shelf in perspective.
Yours sincerely,
Vidhya Raghavan,
Dubai
same approach as you have drawn the roof of the pan shop. here are some tips -
decide at what level the shelf would come.
if the level is above the eye level ( the horizontal line on which vanishing points lie)...you would see the bottom surface of the shelf. if it is below the eye level you need to show the top surface of the shelf where articles are displayed.
the paralel edges of the shelf would be vanishing towards the corresponding vanishing points.
try to visualise this before you draw it. if needed make some study sketches of kitchen shelves.
i hope you got it.
Yes, I understood.
Thank you.
Dear sir,
Did u recieve my assignment?
Vidhya
Dear sir,
How do i show the corresponding depth of the shelf outside the panshop?
Vidhya
what i ment was, where ever the side of the pan shop is stopping right now, it needs to be extended till the red line as shown in the drawing, inorder to give the depth effect of the shelves. it will still be part of pan shop. the extended surface will be a plain opaque wall / you can draw some advertisement display on it.
i hope you got it.
Dear sir,
Can u pls give me an idea on how to draw the corners of the panshop?
Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
Vidhya
please refer the sample sketch and tips on the feedback.
if you have a wooden table / bed at home study the edges and sketch them. attempt correcting the drawing and send it.
if you still have difficulty i will tell you how to draw them.
Do I have to correct the mistakes in the previous picture or do I re-do the whole drawing all over again?
which ever is comfortable and quick for you
Dear sir,
Could you please give me an idea how to represent different textures?
Thank you.
vidhya
Dear sir,

Dear Vidhya,
you can continue with the drawing you have. no need to redraw it again.
Dear sir,

Dear Sir,
I was extremely busy this week due to tests and school work. I will complete and send my assignment by Monday 26th Jan.

Dear sir,
When will I recieve the feedback of the artclass assignment?
Yours sincerely,
Vidhya
Dear sir,
Since I've been living in the GULF throughout my life, I have a very limited idea about Indian theme sketches and I can't really visualize and draw them. I would be most grateful if you could please guide me through possible sketches based on Indian themes.
Besides, I also want to know if the NATA exam focuses on general themes rather than Indian themes.
I eagerly await a quick response.
Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
Vidhya Raghavan,
Dubai
Dear sir,
I conducted a google search on various indian themes but i didn't get any good images. Moreover, since the website, http://www.flickr.com/ is blocked in the uae, could you please let me know of some other website from where i can download images of indian themes from.
Thank you.
Yours sincerely,

Dear sir,
I just wanna ask you one thing: have I improved my theme sketching skills? Please let me know asap.
Thanks.
Yours sincerely,
Vidya
Hi Vidhya,
there is definetly some progression in theme sketching. areas of improvement are -
1.perspective concepts thorough understanding. read the book well.
2.obervation and understanding of proprotion and scale of objects and their behaviour in perspective.
3. human figure drawing- try getting hte correct posture.
Umesh
thank you sir........
have you recieved the perspective assignments that i've been sending.
I'm waiting for your feedback.
Vidya
Dear sir,
Yes, the new account is working much better. I'll send the new assignments asap.
Vidya
Dear sir,
I wanna clarify a doubt.
For the latest 3d composition, do i have to make a sculpture using 5 bricks or can it just be still-life?
Besides, which is preferred in NATA?
Please let me know asap.
Thanks.
Vidya
In this case you can impress the examiner with an interesting looking big, stable , well balanced structure drawn in extreme birds eye view or ants eye view...
dear sir,
did u recieve my sketching assignments?
when will i get the feedback.
what's my next assignment?
vidya
dear sir,
sorry to bother u.
can u pls just let me know which is the theme sketch - the coconut question or the ant's eye view?
thank you very much.
vidya
ants eye view is the theme sketch
thanks!!!
dear sir,
since the freehand section is no longer asked in NATA, do i have to practise them before the exam?
besides, how long should i take for the theme sketch, 2d and 3d each?
moreover, can u give me a hint on how to create a jazzy rhythm? And, do i have to use shapes for the design worksheets to demonstrate the different principles.
Please let me know asap.

2D COMPOSITION WITH COLORING
Make an interesting, unique and innovative composition using the given shapes.
Incorporate all the design principles namely, balance, contrast, pattern, texturing, movement, emphasis, rhythm, unity and variety to add the “wow” factor.
Use bright, harmonious color combinations to make the composition look attractive and lively.
If outlining, use a thin black felt tip pen to draw a thin, smooth outline without any disruptions (excellent line quality is required)
Resize the different shapes and use them as many times as required but use each shape atleast once.
In logos, make the lettering big and bold and the logo conceptuality must be relevant, simple and specific with a minimal of 2 colours.
Incorporate the color theory.
3D COMPOSITION
Using all the given 3d objects, create a visually pleasing composition incorporating the use and effect of light and shadows and appropriate shading and texturing.
Overlap the objects to create interest.
Place the 3d objects one on top of the other to disrupt regularity and stimulate appeal.
Be clear about the direction from which light is striking the objects and draw the shadows created accordingly.
Draw a few 3d objects a little further away to add the effect of distance.
In some cases, the 3d composition can be drawn as a sculpture in extreme bird’s eye or ant’s eye view to generate fascination and break monotony.
If designing a sculpture, arrange the 3d objects in the form of a decorative piece as beautifully as possible in order to arrest the viewer’s attention.
Be as creative and innovative as you can be.
THEME SKETCHING
Perspective is one of the most imperative factors in theme sketching. It should certainly be right in all theme sketches.
The theme sketch must have one point of interest and relevant details must be added in the foreground to add appeal.
The theme sketch should be as realistic as possible.
Human figures should be portrayed properly and must be involved in performing an activity which is relevant to the theme.
Appropriate texturing should be added wherever required.
Proportion of all objects in the theme sketch must be correct.
The theme sketch must look complete with an accurate scale and three-dimensional effect of all objects.
The theme sketch must have clarity and look as neat as possible.
The theme sketch must have a stunning overall look which is often described as the “wow” factor.
