Presentation Drawing in Drawn in Sub-Context & in Context - With Human Figure Interaction


Another example of a sub-contextual drawing (LEFT) making use of an image resource (RIGHT) from the internet. Note I do not draw the face. I like to leave it 'faceless' so that the figure can represent anyone.

To do this, I made use of the image resource, place a piece of paper over it to trace the main elements and omit the unnecessary parts. Alternatively you can use your reference to 'redraw' it on a new paper. Finally draw in the product used in its context.

Note that all drawings should present the same perspective.

The example above is a step better than the previous. The presentation is not only drawn in context - you can easily recognize a home (or a room) with the addition of the window and curtains in the background. To enhance your presentation, you should also consider include some shading or coloring.
