Introducing the Hand: Simple Strategies of the Start, with Dan Thompson

This recent demonstration video explores several ideas which relate to drawing in a foreshortened context. These include: "What is foreshortening?"; "the Art of the Touch"; the "Dominant Diagonal"; the use of non-committal marks; how to "pull" lines in the start; utilizing a natural visual grid or environment for drawing measurement; identifying a 2-D Notional Space in cast drawing; the simple act of "comparing" (with reference to Deane G. Keller); using the "fronts" of forms; the impact of perspective as well as taper in drawing, as well as other concepts. Follow me on: Instagram -   / danthompson.  .
