<\/a>20 minutes<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Some of you might have been wondering why there are “croquis” sessions at all — why not take a longer time and make “finer” drawings?
\nObviously,
\n– a human model can remain in the same pose only for a quite limited duration of time.
\n– so, an artist needs to grasp the major “features” of the model — the posture, the muscles’ ups and downs, the atmosphere created, etc. — during\u00a0that limited duration.<\/p>\n
Besides,
\nplease note in the two croquis shown below that “precise” drawing can result in something quite rigid while a a 5-minute limitation can create some “blurred excitements.”
\nI made both years ago, of the same model.<\/p>\n
The left one, 20 minutes, is precise yet quite rigid. It just describes what the model looked like. (though such precise description is sometime necessary — think of when your camera\/cell phone goes bizarre yet you want to make a precise graphic image of something, for instance)
\nThe right one, 5 minutes, is quite rough and blurred, yet creates some imagination in the viewer.\u00a0And the\u00a0artist him\/herself can develop such imagination into a full painting.<\/p>\n
