Dessin Study: An Exploration of Form & Volume

I am very fond of studying and reflecting on dessin, so I intend to regularly write down my thoughts as a "record of exploration and memorandum.

" Today, a dessin of a man's face. While striving for simplicity as an expressive theme and firmly depicting a sense of three-dimensionality, I also wanted to study the unique qualities of men.

｜STUDY｜A study specialized in the exploration of pure "form," stripping away the information of "shadow."

[Reflection] The Forms of Masculinity

• The size of the jaw

• The thickness of the neck

• The relationship between the eyes and eyebrows (depth of the sockets)

• The skeletal feel of the Adam's apple and neck How these are depicted significantly changes the impression. In other words, I feel that this is precisely where the room for creation lies.

  
  

[Structure] Notes on Form

• To successfully distinguish and draw the "area difference" between the front and side of the face.

• Be clearly conscious of the center of the mouth's volume so that it does not shift from the front.

• Since the far side (mouth, eyes, jaw) becomes smaller, determine the overall balance before moving into the details.

  
  

[Discovery] Realizations

Shadows are not the only things that create three-dimensionality. The power of lines and forms vividly brings forth perspective and depth.

When I realize that, the subject begins to appear simpler and more free.

Leaving traces of drawing as notes also becomes a form of exploration.

Drawing based on the "Mode" philosophy brings many discoveries, which is truly enjoyable.
