Types of Drawing

Different Types of Drawing

• LINE DRAWING

• CARTOON

• POINTILLISM
• PHOTOREALISM
• ARCHITECTURAL
• ANAMORPHIC
• FASHION

• LINE DRAWING-

When we first picked up a pen or pencil and started making marks on paper, we began with line. Whether self-taught, through trial and error, or guided by others, we learned how line defines form, creates structure, divides a frame, traces contour, creates tonal variation (cross-hatching, for example) and leads the eye from one part of a work to another. Initially a mechanism for getting outlines onto paper – identifying edges – we begin to applaud lines for their own merit: celebrate their presence…whether a quiet flick of charcoal on paper or a streak of graphite.

• CARTOON-

                             A cartoon (from Italian: cartone and Dutch: karton—words describing strong, heavy paper or pasteboard) is a full-size drawing made on sturdy paper as a study or modello for a painting, stained glass, or tapestry.

• POINTILLISM

                                                                                        Pointillism is a style of painting which involves using dots of distinct color to create the illusion of form. The idea behind pointillism is that when you place two distinct colors next to each other, the colors will optically blend into a different color.

PHOTOREALISM-

                                       Photorealism is a genre of art that encompasses painting, drawing and other graphic media, in which an artist studies a photograph and then attempts to reproduce the image as realistically as possible in another medium.

ARCHITECTURAL-

                                                                                                               Architectural drawing is simply the technical drawing of a house, a building or any kind of structure. Technical drawings are graphic representations such as lines and symbols that follow specific conventions of scale and projection. They are used in architecture, construction, engineering, or mapping. In other words they are a set of sketches, diagrams, and plans, used to design, construct, and document buildings. It's a schematic representation of a building.

ANAMORPHIC-

                                        Anamorphosis, in the visual arts, an ingenious perspective technique that gives a distorted image of the subject represented in a picture when seen from the usual viewpoint but so executed that if viewed from a particular angle, or reflected in a curved mirror, the distortion disappears and the image in the picture.

FASHION-

                                 Fashion Illustration is the art of communicating fashion ideas in a visual form that originates with illustration, drawing and painting and also known as Fashion sketching. It is mainly used by fashion designers to brainstorm their ideas on paper or digitally.
