Drawing Essentials, Part 2 (edited)
🕑 Added 2021-02-07 12:32:33 +0000 UTCI have cut out all of the ummms and other verbal ticks, etc... to make it a more streamlined viewing experience.
Also, here is a link to the "model pack" for parts 1 & 2, it contains all of the Bargue plates, etc...

Yes. These are the Bargue plates that students at the academy will make copies of.

Hi Stephen, I had a question, what is the drive for? Should I draw the slides you left on the drive? Regards, thanks for your work.

DE is mostly a lecture based program until part 3. If I was making suggestions, I would say it's always good to take notes as that helps you internalize/memorize.

Hi Stephen, I'm a newbie on here and starting with the drawing essentials. Is it better to sketch along with you or just observe?

The plates for part 1 seem to be missing. When I click on the google drive link there are plates for parts 2 and 3, but none for part 1. Where can we find them?

Each Bargue has its lessons- best to take an even pace and go through each one gradually.

Good lesson! I have a question - should we take that many hours on the simpler beginner Bargues as well or is it ok to spend just a little less time? I also want to thank you for the paper recommendation!
Stephen Bauman Artwork
Happy to have the feedback! Thank you.

Such a great lesson. 2d shapes that are so soft and round that it feels as if you can touch them, were always such a mystery to me. They seemed way out of reach in terms of creating them myself. I did a brief online course that was heavily reliant on Reilly rhythms but it didn't give me any understanding like this. Maybe a personal preference or taste thing, not sure. It just feels liberating to start understanding the world behind those 'touchable shapes' (sorry I know this sounds vague) Now it's up to allowing my hand to experiment and translate, trial and error, put in the hours. Thanks for this great lesson.

Control of graphite should get you 90% of the way. The stumps are for the other 10%.
Doug Hess
Do you ever recommend or use smudging or tortillons to get shading? Or is the effect different (better?) by disciplined control over the graphite? Hope that make sense?
Stephen Bauman Artwork
It can be boiled down to- copying the shape also means copying the edge quality. It is a more holistic approach to drawing this way.
Doug Hess
Hi. Enjoying this immensely. Can you say more about the "soft but specific" advice? You mentioned adding some specificity with angle breaks, but what else?

Hello, Stephen. Thank you so much for your efforts, these lessons are amazing! I was taught in Architecture School to draw by a classic–trained draftman/architect. So many concepts are familiar and I'm so glad that they were not lost in my memory. However I always felt lacking, specially when sketching something that was not a perspective, say an object or a person. I actually didn't know where to start, or rather, re–start. Thank you again for teaching the foundations of this path.

For sure. It's in my FAQ's: https://www.patreon.com/posts/37008290

Hi Stephen. I'm watching all the basics before I start drawing. Could you tell where you bought these casts? I couldn't find the one with the woman standing. Could you write the name please?
