Hi friends!
I want to show you these Dalí's drawings where you will see lines, circles and doodles but used with a meaning, in a specific order.
Study this drawing, and copy the way to make the strokes to get the dark areas. See and copy how the shadows are defined. Don't make a copy of the drawing! just imitate the technique in your own drawings or doodles.
Notice in this drawing how the different shadows were drawn and see how the feeling of deep is given by making soft and thin lines to get an impression of distance.
Try to emulate the technical aspects of these drawings by using different pencil hardnesses on different drawings.
It is recommended not to use more than 2 or 3 pencils of different hardness in a drawing sheet, better yet master the techniques to use a single pencil of a single hardness in a drawing, reserving softer or harder pencils for very restricted areas.
Try to get depth dark areas with the hatching method.
Remember that the dark areas are obtained by drawing several smooth lines on the paper to not damage the grain of the drawing sheet.
