Rule 8 | Measure
Lesson 3 | Head for axis in the Opera Garnier’s Haute Vollée
45 min.
We do not only measure proportions; we measure directions too. So head for axes to start with.
Step 1 | Take on their poses, look like them.
Scroll through the gallery and approach these characters emphatically
Take time to experience the emotions that the sculptors have incorporated into the characters.
These beautiful women and noble men are from the Haute Volée of the Opera Garnier in Paris. If you want to draw people, you always have to measure, otherwise you won’t get a likeness.
Step 2 | Measure - find directions - then sketch!
Dashes -little lines and even dotties in yellow
If you apply this formula, you have a great win. Start with the small dashes and after that you feel confident … sketch.
ASSIGNMENT | Sketch all the 10 persons of the haute volée.
