Ok, so I am shopping online at BLP and my basket contest are up over $160 so far (loading up!).
I come across the DUOSHADE/UNISHADE art boards section (again). Once again i am baffled - what the heck is it for? Crosshatching - ok? I understand crosshatching as a technique to shade art and provide depth and mass. How EXACTLY do these boards help with crosshatching? I just can't figure it out. My understanding is this: It's basically a type of bristol board (art board). After doing your drawing(s) on the page - you add something called Graphix (what the heck is that?) and the shading is done for you?  If how I described it above is correct - how to you make the shading come out correct dependant on your light source in your art? ALSO - it appears the croshatching patterns are ALL similiar. As I understand crosshatching - the ammount you use and the type of strokes depend on lighting and figure shape - so you will do different crosshatching for your shadows on your art at different points on the figure or object you are creating. Than - on top of all that You (the artist) have to figure out how much reduction your final production will be done in BEFORE you pick the appropriate duoshade/unishade stuff. I GUESS that the "graphix developer" is like INK or "white-out"? I am confused. Can someone explane all this? Please and THANX! I but it's gonna be difficult to explane to an untrained artist such as myself. But I love to learn! MAYBE this should be a Sketch Magazine article? -------------------- |
