Drawing as Symbol making - helps drive composition, how close to abstract can we get? What is the simplest geometric shape we can get out of this work? Getting initial tones and color relations are essential to this. "The shapes themselves can be, as you see here, nearly any graphical representation of the optical phenomena, as long as the value relationships are correct."
Pattern - design choices and not copying - same thing with figure drawing! shaping figures well with straight vs curve and finding rhythm. Good design contrasts the area of visual resy with visual complexity.... what does he mean by this? adding in elements to the "shadow of the image" or making the areas outside of the shadow of the image worth looking at. Probably the latter
Shape/Design = Large Rhythms and Form = Contours/etching/hatching. So interesting how much figure drawing teaches you about drawing other things
Thumbnails are worth explore. DO IT. The staging is what tells the story
Challenge mode: is the design interesting and gettable in TWO values??
Lightest light and darkest dark right away and then working back to front... I've never known that about painting. I don't know what painting is. Slowing getting values and drawing before moving onto the next part
Relationship of the whole over the parts. Larger shapes, and deign, and the idea behind it
Altering a little to get the clearest and cleanest message when editing things
show depth, overlap, and form. ALSO FIGURE DRAWING. So much time to practice better compositions.
Symbols and simplification of everything. Be ready for that to be a possibility. Make better compositions, more powerful compositions when drawing from life.
Reduce, refine, interpret. Look for/reduce to simple clear geometric shapes and simple clear form (shadows)
Ruppel really works the simplification of a form. He takes the things he sees and then designs them, mastering the techniques we are steadily learning in figure drawing courses... wow, figure drawing really does apply to drawing so much better than my actual drawing class. That's a strange feeling. Anyway. Reducing the noise of shadows and the world for simpler clearer compositions is a really really cool idea. Explored are some images that I feel fit this idea complex but simple shape layering, good contrasts of the shadows, and how images are manipulated to tell you what the artist wants you to see. It's all the same principles of figure drawing. Rhythm, contour and value structures. Also learning some new things about painting. Included images where you can see this principle most easily.
