Information on Pencil Portrait Rendering - Hatching-in Big Masses of Tone
In this commentary we will discuss the blocking-in of big masses of tone.
Tone is generally thought of as shadow. Beginners generally first draw an outline of the shadow and then fill in the shadows bit-by-bit. They usually start with an eye and then grow out the shadows. Inevitably, the outcome is a chaos of disconnected darks and lights.
There are two different ways of viewing value: in Western culture we see tone as shadow; in Eastern culture tone is seen as color.
Applying, or more accurately, constructing tone should be approached with a sculptural sensibility. That is, think of your sketch as a block of clay that is to be carved. Once roughly carved, you then mold the surface shapes with varying intensities of tone while manipulating their edges.
A portrait drawing from life or (paper picture) starts with the striking of the arabesque. Two things must be accurately drawn: 1. the shape of the entire head; and 2. the proportions.
Once the arabesque has been struck, the entire head is then broken down into two pieces: a big light and a big dark. No more than that. At this point, do not worry about whether or not one area is darker than another. Only the large light/dark pattern counts.
Note that squinting is a good idea to more clearly see the value patterns because you are not sidetracked by details.
A good rule of thumb is to carve an area in two. For instance, if an observed dark area is not completely even in value divide it in two and block-in the two slightly differing values. Before long a complex yet cohesive matrix of values will emerge.
From the blocking-in of the primary darks you can then effortlessly draw the features. Over time you should try to remember the total anatomy and "sense" the shape 3-dimensionally.
You must know your anatomy to succeed in drawing portraits even at the most basic level. Learn the anatomy in bite-size portions as you draw along. It really is the best way to learn.
A good way to draw is to toggle back and forth between line drawing and tonal drawing or hatching. Another way is to first do a total line drawing of the subject. That is, to draw a "map" of the head that encompasses all planes and scores the boundaries of the various tonal areas. As a second phase you can then hatch-in the correct values.
While you hatch be constantly aware of the planes of the head and the direction of the light source.
Another expertise to be acquired is the expertise to cross-hatch areas in a flat and even manner. There is nothing more distracting than scratchy looking cross-hatching.
Lastly, take note of a curious Optical Illusion called "simultaneous contrast". It takes place when light and dark values lie next to each other. In general, white is extroverted while black is contractive. The consequence is that the white area looks bigger than it is while the black area will look smaller.
In closing, keep the blocking-in procedure uncomplicated. Look for big masses first and then for the smaller ones. It is always better to work from the general to the specific. And, this point, ignore the details.
