Hello to all the artists, they don't know how happy he made me, the good reception of my first drawing guide ^ _ ^
The subject that occupies in this second guide, which was what I taught my little students, is something of great importance in the drawing, and that many drawing enthusiasts find it difficult to achieve, or they have no idea how to apply it , and using it well will fill every drawing you make with life and depth, this peculiar technique is called "THE FORESHORTENING" which is the graphic representation that reduces the length of a body, in order to apply depth of space to the figure and is closely linked to the linear perspective, in other words it is an illusion where perspective is forced into a figure in specific, to deceive the eye by making him believe that the drawing escapes the two-dimensionality of the paper, It is simply characteristic that every artist seeks to achieve intuitively, to achieve three-dimensionality in our drawings, that these exist as close and as far as possible on the same flat.
In this guide apply the most basic and essential, to achieve this technique, and I really wish you a lot of help. ^ _ ^
Pencil sketch of the guide
As I mentioned earlier The foreshortening is closely linked to the perspective, the ideal is to divide the drawing into 3 parts, the first one close to the observer, an intermediate one and finally the last one in the distance near the vanishing point, the farther it is from the vanishing point , it should be drawn larger by exaggerating according to the proximity of the observer, combining proximity and distance without lengthening the drawing beyond normal dimensions.
Being closer to the vanishing point, you should draw smaller projecting towards the bottom, according to the orthogonal lines.
When completing a drawing with foreshortening, it will immediately attract the attention of the viewer, for its sense of depth. As can be seen in this unnecessarily suggestive and sexy illustration, which I did a long time ago, in which I applied foreshortening to convey the feeling of need or desire of the girl towards the viewer.
