The Third Dimension

Do you remember ‘The Twilight Zone‘? It was a weekly television program with entertaining human interest stories delving into Science Fiction and other unusual circumstances. Or something like that. Rod Serling was the creator and host of the show, and every week while smoking a cigarette, he would speak to us about the forthcoming episode and usually end with mentioning the ‘fifth dimension’. As a kid watching the show each week, the thought of 5 dimensions was very intriguing and up to now as an artist, I’ve been trying to grapple with two of the five. We are are now entering the ‘Third Dimension’. 3D printing.

We suspect Lamonte McLemore and Marilyn McCoo were fans of the show.

Drawing Lesson No. 6

It’s been awhile since we shared some little tips and exercises regarding drawing. Here is a simple task. Decide on a subject to draw with a single uninterrupted line.

You can trace the pencil sketch using a light box to illuminate from below placing a few sheets of paper between the draft and the paper used for the ink drawing diffusing the brightness of the lights.

Now I know some of you may be asking, ‘What about the bunnies eye? The eye is separate from the rest of the drawing? What’s the deal with that?’

I have heard it said that ‘There is no such thing as a dumb question.’

There you have it, Drawing Lesson No. 6.
