Drawing Tutorial 33 - How to draw ear
In today's tutorial we will learn to draw ear as seen from front. The shape of ear is similar to half heart with some sharp bends.
1. draw the outer periphery of the ear. Note the curves of the top helix and the lobule in the bottom.

Sketch madness - leisure
It has been a long time I haven't posted for sketch madness. I wish to do it regularly, but often I miss it. Hope I can do it regularly.

This is drawn with black and other coloured inks using dip pen and brush. Photo editing done to create final image.

This drawing of an Indian woman in saree is drawn with fountain pain ink on 4x5 inch drawing book.
Drawing tutorial 032 - Drawing hands
Drawing hands is probably considered as one of the most difficult anatomical features for any artist. That is partially because of the complex anatomy of the hands and partially because of so many different shapes that a hand can take each of which can look different from different angles thus taking the variation to challengingly difficult numbers. It is hard to remember so many shapes and render it accurately.
But here is good news !! With some good method to draw and some practice, hand drawing can be breeze. Here we shall learn to draw hands by knowing basic shapes that are its building blocks and then adding features to the basic building blocks.
Palm of the hand is almost a flat rectangle. The side towards the little finger is bulging outward a little. Also, the base of the thumb is outside the base rectangle. The top is also not straight. It curves upward, the base of middle finger being top point of the curve. The dorsal side is little bulging outside and the anterior side is little concave.These are shown in the following illustration.

Drawing tutorial 031 - How to draw hair
Drawing hair at first look may look unchallenging that require no serious observation and practice. But in reality it is not so. To draw hair that looks convincing requires the knowledge of statics and dynamics of hair.
By statics we mean the volume of hair and how that volume covers the head along with flow or direction of hair flow. To know the dynamics means how the hair moves when head turns or there is wind blowing or the person is moving fast.
Hair being flexible can be given so many shapes. But lets first see how much of head it covers because the coverage has less variance.

Drawing tutorial 030 - Three point perspective
Three point perspective uses three vanishing points. If you have not gone through single point and two point perspective then please read them. Two of the vanishing points can be set on the horizon line. The third vanishing point can be above or below the horizon line depending on the position of the observer. Once the three points are set, it will look somewhat like the figure below:
Drawing tutorial 029 - Two point perspective
Vanishing points and single point perspective has been discussed in earlier post. Single point perspective renders the three dimensional world on paper in a way that the object that are distant tends to vanish to one point which is called as vanishing point. Single point is good to describe scenes that has straight tracks like road or rail track that is tends to disappear in a distant horizon towards the line of sight.
However, for wide scene where the objects and elements in the frame are so far in both left and right of the viewer that they appear to vanish at a distance both side of the viewer it is necessary to apply two point perspective. This is useful while rendering objects like city view that spread both sides to long distances.Drawing Tutorial 028 - Single point perspective
Single point uses the very basic technique of rendering the depth of three dimensional world on ২ dimensional surface such as paper. As discussed in the earlier tutorial, perspective drawing uses two main terminology. One is horizon line and other is vanishing point.
In case of single point perspective, there is one horizon line and one vanishing point. This is the simplest way of depicting the three dimensional world in two dimensional drawing surface. The idea behind the single point perspective is that distortion is rendered in only one axis.
Horizon line is chosen depending on the height of the observers eye level in respect to the frame being rendered. The point on the horizon line where everything would be so small that they would seem to disappear is the vanishing point.
Drawing tutorial 027 - Basics(Part 5) - Perspective
When we start to draw things from memory as beginner we tend to draw them in a way we perceived the object in our brain rather than how we saw it. A good example is to draw hair - we are tempted to draw hair by hair. We know that individual hairs make the whole volume of the so called 'hair' on the head. But do we generally see individual hair?
In a similar way, we as a beginner, tend to miss how we see dimensions such as length, breadth and height of objects around us. As a result, we draw a rectangular building as a rectangle. It may sound crazy, but we do not see it as a rectangle but our brain perceives it that way.
How big an object appears to us depends on the angle that is created by the object in our eye. We have experienced it. It is for this reason, things appear smaller when its away. Our brain can still perceive, in most cases, the actual size of the object by comparing other parameters such as how far the object is, known objects around it, Colour variation etc.
