Examples of sketches without linework/outline specifically for the follower who’s asked for help with understanding form and lighting better.
Pro tip: Outlining is common if you’re a beginning artist or an artist without much confidence when it comes to lighting. If your work looks flat, and you’re having trouble with building depth or dimension, try drawing without using any outlines at all.
In all of these examples, “lines” are just the places where two larger shapes meet. Rather than actual drawn lines. <3
I’d like to build on this a little, mostly because when I was just starting out, I had no idea how to actually follow this advice (which is very good advice!).
I’d also like to apologize in advance for not having any illustrations to go with this. You’ll have to try and work out what I’m talking about based on the lovely sketches above.
1. If you are working digitally, make your brush big. Bigger. Are you looking at it and thinking, “What? I’m never going to be able to capture any details with this monstrosity of a brush!” Good. That’s about the right size.
2. If you’re working analog, grab charcoal, or a crayon with the wrapper all peeled off, or one of those woodless pencils. Take your mechanical pencil and fine-liners and hide them from yourself. Take your chosen instrument and turn it on its side, like you’re gonna do a rubbing of a leaf or something.
3. Start making big blocks of color. If you wear glasses, actually take them off to look at whatever you’re using as a model. Otherwise, just let your eyes unfocus a little. Once whatever you’re looking at has dissolved into a pleasantly fuzzy shape, copy that blobby shape onto your canvas.
When I’m doing this, I’m usually using charcoal, so I tend to work from the lightest shapes to the darkest, because it’s easier that way. That doesn’t mean you’ve messed up if you do it differently though. It’s literally that I’m lazy and going light to dark is a convenient shortcut that saves me some time in this medium.
4. When we outline, we try to capture the “shape” of an entire object, and then paint shadows and highlights onto it. So… if you look at the picture of McGonagall up there, you might normally think that her robe is one shape with some dark parts and some light parts. When you’re working without outlines, it’s more like there’s a bunch of dark and light shapes sitting together like a puzzle and you’re copying those.
5. This is going to look weird at first! That’s great! It takes a slightly different hand-eye coordination and thought process to recreate an entire shape at once rather than by “outlining” it, and that’s a learning curve of its own. Expect that if you’ve never tried this before, your hands are going to feel clumsy and uncoordinated at first.
Some tips that might help (I’m sorry I don’t have pictures to go with this!): if you’re working analog, don’t be afraid to turn your charcoal/crayon around whichever way you need. A long skinny shape can be made by sliding the crayon along its length. A curved shape can be made by holding the flat side of the crayon against your canvas and turning your hand like you’re opening a door knob. Experiment and see what you can do!
If you’re working digitally… well actually I’m not sure this is right because I don’t work in digital media much…. but at a guess I’d suggest picking a rectangular or oval shaped brush and don’t be shy about using your tablet’s pressure sensitivity.
Don’t be afraid to put down a darkish area and then lighten it later. At a guess, I’d say that’s how the reflected light on the right side of McGonagall’s robe was put in, as well as the highlights on Bard’s sleeve and Brienne’s armor. (Try to pick out other places where you think that’s happening)
6. THIS ABSOLUTELY HELPS WITH DRAWING CARTOONS OR COMICS! This’ll be especially easy for a digital artist, but I’d suggest trying something like… do a sketch this way, and then either put a new layer or a sheet of thinnish paper over it, and ink like you were doing a cartoon of the thing you just drew. Fiddle with your line weights. What does it look like if you put heavier lines where there’s a high contrast between one shape and the next? What if you use heavy lines where there’s a heavy shadow, and light ones where there’s a highlight? Practicing like this will help you figure out what the outlines you draw as a cartoonist are actually representing!
#I hope I didn’t say anything too wrong here
No way this is an excellent addition to my post!
The advice about setting aside mechanical pencils and instead drawing with fat tools, chunky pastels, or big digital brushes is especially true when it comes to developing a good sense of form:
(This isn’t mine—this is a charcoal drawing by Nathan Fowkes—but odds are he used one piece of charcoal and alternated between using its flat edge and its finer edge as he went along)
Watercolor artists are masters at this form vs. outline thinking, too:
You know what’s some crazy $hit?
This fabulous bitch
She makes a shit ton of poses (like 16,000 or some crazy nonsense). I used this lovely lady to draw so much as a teen. Whether it was some nerdy pose for my Mary Sue as fuck OCs
or for full on fight sequences
or for tragic deaths of my OCs in the arms of a totally OOC main protagonist.
this bitch hooked me up.
And with the wildest, craziest stuff that you could see in your head but had no way or resources to reasonably draw like
or this
or this
DUDE! INASNE SHIT!! So I was using her for a pose reference and decided, you know what, I owe this bitch some cash. Lemme dole it out for her. BUT then, I looked and saw she only has 286 fucking patrons!! This chick gives out free shit and spends countless hours arranging these shoots and setting this stuff up.
I’ll fork up the cash, SenshiStock. You’re worth it.
Check out this amazing woman’s stuff, and get knowledged: https://www.deviantart.com/senshistock
I have been following her for years on deviantart.
Highly reccomend checking her out. She’s the best. If I had any money to throw I’d throw it at her for providing such a big help in my life.
This hero doesn’t wear capes, she instead wears (and looks utterly flawless) in tank tops(?)
Interrupting my regular Star Wars BS to reblog this because @senshistock is amazing and beyond worth the follow and support! I first started using her refs gosh I want to say back in maybe 2008, and I’m happy to be a supporter of her over on Patreon. If you’re an artist please go find her stuff on all the platforms, you will not regret it!
Yessss, she is so awesome! Been following her for years. My favorite stock artist is jademacalla, who is, incidentally, in the last two images above. He has a lot of great angles, costumes, gear, etc! I love his hands, too.
