DOWNd 1 — The Block In Course - Proko - Stephen Bauman 7

The Block In Course is split up into 3 distinct sections:
1. The visual style. This approach to blocking in focuses on the light and shadow shapes and is a very efficient way to gain a foothold in your drawing.

2. The structural style. This approach will show you how to truly understand the 3D form of the human head. Very important if we want our drawings to look and feel real.

3. The hybrid style is a synthesis of the visual and structural styles. It is a combination of the best parts of the first two styles presented in the BIC.

The Visual Style
The dichotomy of shadow and light defines the visual approach.

These shapes then become powerful tools of comparison as we continue to refine the accuracy of the block in through further measurements and triangulation.

The Structural Style
Structure is about form. This style of block in is designed to help us transcend the 2 dimensional plane of the paper we are drawing on- from the very beginning.

This style will teach you how to carve out a simplified linear wireframe that represents the basic proportions of the model.

The Hybrid Style
The quick integration of a value together with the big structural forms is a hallmark of this hybrid style of block in.

Having established this you now have two different criteria you can use to assess your drawing for accuracy. The physical structure of the model and the naive comparison of the light shape in relation to your model.

So what are you actually waiting for?
Let’s be real for a minute- of course you want to get better at blocking in your portraits.

You have heard over and over from teachers that your drawing won’t get any better than the block in allows.

This course is my answer to that need- it will give you the concepts you need in a format that guarantees that you also get the PRACTICE you need to get better.
