B01: Drawing With Spaces

When you can identify positive and negative spaces inside a drawing space, you can draw what you see more accurately. This article illustrates the process of drawing objects by identifying and drawing three different types of spaces.

This is the Lesson: http://www.drawspace.com/lessons/lesson.php?id=b01



Really Simple Lesson to get you started/

Draw Space Goal

Hello Everyone

My name is Julia, but in everything I am known as Mini Artist.
I have three other blogs if you would like to check those out as well, just go to my profile.
This blog is going to be a project.

Have you ever heard of the site DRAWSPACE
This is the link: http://www.drawspace.com/

I recommend you make an account, it is quick and simple and allows you to have all the great advantages for free.

This site was created by the wonderful Brenda Hoddinott.

She is author of Drawing for Dummies, and a couple of other drawing books.

She is an artist, she was a forensic artist one too.

Her site offers FREE lessons from beginners to advanced.

If you don't want to take them as a lessons you can take them as a project.

Then she offers classes, that you can pay for and become a part of to increase your level in the arts.

It is my goal to complete ALL of Brenda's free lessons in one year.

I will keep everyone updated. It might take a year because I have school, 4 clubs, homework and soon WORK!

Every post will be a new project... with a link to the lesson. There will also be my completed drawing of it.

For the Beginner level I might not to 1 0R 2 but for the rest I WILL DO ALL OF THEM!

With that please follow me on the journey, and hopefully I will become a better artist with this project.

Thanks everyone.
