TUESDAY TIPS --- Wire Gesture Here's another way to approach Gesture Drawing. In order to shut up the part of my brain that tries to analyze and do things step by step. Overthinking often leads to stiff posing. So I sometimes draw with an almost continuous line. This way, I get across an idea or feeling very fast without thinking it through to much. this way, I get an organic feeling to the drawing without trying too hard. I can then go back and fix things or bring more clarity by drawing over it. But, I try to draw the figure in a three-dimensional space. So, as best as I can describe it, I use the line like a wire in space. This way, I get a fluid movement through the body that pushes through to the feet, and all the way to the fingers. For me, it's the best way to not get caught up in the details. There's always room to go back and fix things. That's the one area where digital comes very handy. Just create a new layer on top and use the loose wire drawing as the gesture to draw on top of. Tell me if that helps you see Gesture in a different way. This is a personal approach but I'm to hear if anyone else's brain works that way too. - Norm @grizandnorm #100TuesdayTipsBook #100TuesdayTips #TuesdayTips #grizandnorm #GestureDrawing #drawingtutorials #drawingtips

Tuesday Tips --- Head Space --- As an audience, our eyes are mostly tracking the head (and eyes) of the main characters on screen. As filmmakers, it would be a great disservice to not take that info into consideration. For clarity, try to make space around the head of characters on-screens. Too much visual noise around the face interferes with the message, unless that's the point you're trying to make make. Also, try your best to maintain the same head screen position when cutting to a new shot with the same characters, whatever type of shot it is. I know how simple this sounds but it's very easy to forget if you're not paying attention. -Norm @grizandnorm.com #tuesdaytips #100tuesdaytips #100tuesdaytipsbook #arttips #arttutorial #storyboard #grizandnorm

Hi! Happy Tuesday! Today's tip is on one of my favorite subject, color theory; specifically on chromatic fringe. It is the red fringe or hot saturated color you see at the edge of cast shadow and where it meets the light area. The rougher the object edge casting the shadow or the further away the object is, the more red fringe you'll see. This is different than chromatic abberation, which is color fringing caused by lens failure. You can see chromatic fringe with your eyes. The more you paint from life and make observation, the easier it is to see. It's one of those things that once you see it, you cannot unsee. :) XO, Griz #griz #grizandnorm #tuesdaytips #colortheory #chormaticfringe #grizandnormtuesdaytips #grizandnormkittycatclub ps. On stylized painting, where you want to have a hard edge on a shadow, you don't always have to put it. Like everything in art, you can choose to put something in or not. But it's always good to know your basic and know the rules before breaking it. Happy painting!
