Workshops 9 make DeLiberaTe marks Practising specific marks is like practising writing. We know what an A is supposed to look like or a D or a W. Once we know what those letterforms look like, we know how we can squash them, stretch them or skew them to achieve a desired effect. Similarly, if we know a handful of marks inside and out, then we can use those few marks to achieve a broad range of results. A confident mark can often do more for us than accuracy. A sketch with a little funk in the anatomy and gorgeous mark making is far more interesting than an anatomically perfect sketch with marks that are just, well, meh. 10 contrast oF shapes Contrasting shapes add visual interest. If you draw everything with curved shapes it’ll become boring. Throw in some angles and spice things up. If I’m working with more detailed forms and paying attention to how the forms turn, I’ll apply some graphic elements to make the viewer look twice. If I want a portion of the drawing to be more aggressive or more soft, I’ll choose shapes accordingly but I won’t limit myself by saying it all needs curves or all needs angles. There’s a panoply of shapes out there and we should make good use of them. A confident mark can often do more for us than accuracy 11 keep the Marks new Don’t just do a finished pencil sketch, only to redraw it in inks. It’ll stagnate. Sometimes I’ll go right in without a pencil sketch at all. If I do a rough, I tend to do it very loose. I like to keep myself guessing a bit. Staying on my toes keeps me interested and the sketch interesting. I don’t want to draw the same thing twice. Sometimes I may take the opposite approach as well. I’ll put more information in the rough than I’m going to use in the final, just so I can edit along the way, but in either case I’m always making decisions and adding or omitting information. This ensures that the final drawing is new and as spontaneous as I can manage. 12 carry a skeTchbOOk ThaT yOu can LOve This is important. If you don’t love your sketchbook, you won’t want to open it. You need books you want to open and that you want to draw in. I personally love Moleskines. They’re my absolute favourite books by a very large margin. They make me want to fill them with sketches. This makes me want to keep drawing. I’m always excited to fill the last page and start a new book. If we’re going to do this stuff every day, we better love every aspect of it. 74 August 2017
