The line is one of the most basic entities used in drawing. The straight line has two fundamental properties:
* Length - Naturally, the length of a straight line is the distance between your starting point and end point.
* Address - A straight line also has a direction. Its direction is determined by the angle with a horizontal or vertical line.
Therefore, if you draw a straight line has to think two things: the length and direction.
Then, we must also develop a technique to actually get to that line. An artist rarely uses a pencil a ruler to draw a straight line. Lines are drawn freehand. And this has a little practice. After all, you should be able to ladder lines and lines parallel fairly quickly and in a single stroke.
The idea is to swing your arm from the elbow rather than from the wrist. You can use your wrist to the lines Small or other small details. But generally you keep your wrist and forearm fixed as a unit and rotate the elbow as you draw the line. This movement occurs very fast. Also, keep the stylus from the way you want, ie how they are used to it.
To measure the length of a line you can use the following procedure:
* First, choose a unit length of the base. Is the length of a line segment is not too long nor too short in relation to a scene.
Let us choose two such basic units:
1. Life Unit - First, choose a length Base Unit for the actual scene you want to draw. For a great stage of life can do this by holding a pencil at arms length with locked elbow. Then, with one eye closed, one can measure a basic unit (not too long and not too short) with the pencil with the thumb as a marker. Draw this line segment in a sheet of paper.
2. Paper Unit - Now, you also need a basic length for your drawing. This is because the size of the real scene is usually different from that you make in your paper. Again, use the stylus to select a unit length of the basis for the size of your paper and call it the "Book Unit. "Draw close to the unity of life.
Now we are ready to use these two basic units. We use the living unit to measure any length on the actual composition. We express these lengths in terms of number of units of life. For example, you talk about this leg of the table about half a unit life or this hat sits 1.5 units of life left in that umbrella. Do not forget to make the measurements always in the same way, ie with outstretched arm, elbow closed and with one eye closed.
Next, take your Paper Unit and multiplied by the ratio you just get on with your life Unit. For example, in the role of the table leg will measure 0.5 times the unit of paper or the hat will sit 1.5 units of paper left the umbrella. That's all there is to do.
Then follows the technique to measure angles:
* The angles are measured with respect to the horizontal and vertical. If you work on rectangular paper you can use vertical and horizontal edges as a reference. The angle you observe in the composition of his life will be the same in his role. There is no relationship involved here.
Once again, you can use the stylus, but this time adjust horizontally (or vertically) and estimate the angle of a particular line makes with horizontal or vertical. This technique requires some practice but after a while you get an idea of the angles. After you've reached the line that you can check the length and angle seem right to you. It is remarkable how quickly the eye gets trained to detect incorrect proportions and angles. But for some time and practice.
Note that curved lines can be considered as a direct link from small lines to the same techniques can also be applied in an approximate manner to these curved lines.
The guidelines are the first steps in the right direction in dealing with lines.
