Today we worked on trees and landform techniques.
Trees:
- Note the overall shape; trees have posture and gesture attributes.
- Note the branching structure, and use the main fork to anchor the form.
- Start at the middle of the tree-- the main fork; work progressively upwards and downwards, mindful of the natural variation of girth from bottom to top.
- Based on the overall shape, start dotting the leaves from the outside inwards, to pin down the periphery.
- Add some branches in between the leaf clusters, to connect to the main tree.
Landform/Rocks:
- Line the upper/outside edge of forms of various shapes: round, square, skewed, sharp etc.
- Illusion of depth/3-D space: Each near-form partially blocks the far-form.
- Vary the forms, in terms of size, separation and alignment (do not line up in a line)
- Texture lower part of form (shade and shadows) according to the desired 3-D shape of the landform/rock.
