What is Drawing?
A drawing is a painting without color. It is the foundation of painting. Drawing requires critical thinking and rendering. It’s a skill that needs to be trained.
Drawing is the act of construction: building up a form on paper, constructing three-dimensional space and the subject within that space.
The core of drawing is about exploring and rendering the essence of life – seeing beyond colors, revealing an intrinsic artistic form.
Since there is no color in a drawing, it avails the artist the opportunity of “translating” what he sees in color into colorless lines, value and strokes. This is the most pure and intrinsic art form.
Although color is missing from a drawing, the art of drawing covers all other elements such as proportion, volume, perspective, space, and texture, etc. and therefore provides a foundation for all forms of painting. Most problems that occur in a painting are due to poor drawing skills. If these basic skills are not well developed, the image in a painting will crumble like a building upon a poor foundation.
Drawing is a process, the process of building a subject on paper, the process of observing, exploring, critical thinking, depicting, over and over again. It gives one endless challenges to overcome, but in the end, success will bring infinite joy. When one dives deep into the world of drawing, one will gain confidence from reflection and self-improvement. It’s a very rewarding experience.
A drawing is a construction. A blank white piece of paper can be compared to a piece of land waiting to be built upon. It requires a blue print, building the foundation, constructing the pillars, beams, roof, windows, doors and floor, etc. There are methodology and steps to follow for this construction. There are no shortcuts.
Drawing is a means of engaging in a dialogue with life. When we acquire a deep understanding of the characteristics of life, and depict and seek out the shape and features of this life, the vitality of the object appears vividly on the paper. Although a drawing portrays its object using only lines and layers of black and white, its ultimate objective is to create a vivid and credible artistic rendering.
