60 fundamentals of drawing
V. Final Phase
Summarizing, restoration of tonal relationships, subordination of details In the final phase of work return to the integral perception of the drawing and the model. Restore the tonal relationships which often get broken in the process of accurate penciling of the details. Work over the main details again, more scrupulously to achieve completeness and finality of the drawing. If these tasks are accomplished, the drawing looks expressive at a distance, when reproduced reduced or enlarged.
This book presents the sequence of development of a study drawing. Its development is “extended” in time. For a fledgling artist it is almost impossible to cope with all the above mentioned tasks quickly and adequately. In fast drawings this sequence is preserved, though the stages take less time. The sketch is not made, but no one gets down to work without forethought. I want to stress the point once again that alongside time-consuming drawings it is necessary to make regular sketches. They train the eye, teach to express your thoughts and feelings promptly. In the process of education those who work hard combine the knowledge derived from the academic studies with the experience gained while sketching and drawing. That is how a professional competent creative drawing originates.
