Chapter 1 | ROBES
In the days before the invention of photography, it was quite common for artists to copy each other’s work, either as a study or for creative reuse. When it comes to garments with plenty of pleats, there are countless possibilities, from drawings to paintings and sculptures. Sometimes the draperies are too complicated and virtuosic, but sometimes they’re just fun to try. Here are just a few examples.
Exercise 1: Try to draw this medieval priest and perhaps color him in. All the folds of his rather complex robe are clearly drawn with clear outlines. Think of a caption to go with it; his hand gesture makes it seem as if he wants to show or explain something to us.
Oefening 2: kies twee of meer van deze vier gemaskerde acteurs en verzin er teksten bij.
Oefening 3: van de volgende twee acteurs is de kleding veel losser getekend. Probeer het ook los na te tekenen en verzin er weer een leuke tekst bij.
