In previous portrait drawing classes, we've drawn on 18"x24" drawing pads. In this week's class we drew the subject on a much larger scale, we did a quick study sketch, divided it into four quadrants, and then drew each quadrant on an 18"x24" sheet. Here's what the my quadrants looked like:
| Top left quadrant. |  | Top right quadrant. |  |
| Bottom left quadrant. |  | Bottom right quadrant. |  |
And the four quadrants, roughly aligned look like this:
My teacher said that the idea is to focus on each area's highlights and shading, not creating a perfectly aligned image.
beautiful! I love these quadrant drawings when they become assembled, there is such a cool effect when completed. The piece came together quite well for you, everything basically lines up. Now you just need to frame the puppy and sell it to someone :-)
