Also, to keep this tutorial simple and universal, I’m not going to talk about textures.
This is a software-independent tutorial-I’ll be showing you techniques that you can use in any digital art program. In this tutorial I’ll show you a universal method of shading that you can later modify to your own liking! However, to create your own style of shading, first you need to know the rules.
After watching the video, follow the directions to upload and grid your photo.There are countless ways of shading digital art-it’s one of the reasons why there are so many distinctive styles, even when the artist is trying to paint semi-realistically. The artist will still need to use a ruler and a pencil to create the grid on the art surface.īefore Beginning this project, please go to the Grid Drawing Tool Website and watch the video with detailed instructions. Today, photos can be uploaded to an online site that will grid the photo for the artist. In the past, the artist would use a ruler and pencil to grid off the photo. Once each square is transferred, the grid is erased leaving the finished drawing. If the artists wants to enlarge the image, the art surface grid is drawn larger using the same amount and placement of squares. Each box is treated as an individual drawing. The artists transfers the lines and shapes from individual squares on the photo to the corresponding squares on the art surface drawing them exactly where they touch the edges of the box. Both grids have the same amount and configuration of squares. Basically a line gird is placed over a photo and a second grid is lightly drawn onto the final surface of the artwork. I use traditional drawing and oil painting techniques to communicate the qualities of each individual".Īrtists have been using grids to create accurate drawings for hundreds of years. This is accomplished by letting the individual's narrative drive my work.
I am for creating pieces that are rich in storytelling, free from constraints, and true to the person I'm painting. I've always been an observer of people and run into individuals who inspire me through their fashion, personality, or conversation. His content is rich in drama, history and intimacy.Īrtist Statement"My work begins with the individual. Holloway’s aesthetics create familiar spaces that are rich in storytelling, free from constraints, and true to his subjects. Holloway uses a traditional oil painting technique and bold lines to create depth within the portraits. There is a wonderful counterbalance of softness and masculinity seen in the works. His images are often accompanied by text and personal references embedded within the work. Holloway is best known for his dynamic work and fresh look at figurative art.
