SKETCHING

A sketch is an image an artist draws or paints quickly. It is usually rough and gives an idea of what the finished item will look like. Sketches are usually used to capture a moment, an attitude or some fleeting emotion in the subject before it fades away. They are also the predominant form of artistic practice because they focus your mind on drawing what is observed. Think of the artist that is sketching the courtroom proceedings. Nothing is too detailed, but you understand the main ideas expressed with in it.

EMOTIVE

Emotive drawing is an art form that captures the emotion of the subject, causing an emotional reaction in the viewer of that work. It can be a painting, drawing, or digitally created work. The important thing here is that the image itself portrays and generates emotions. Emojis function in the same way but are far simpler in their design and nature.

GEOMETRIC DRAWING

Geometric drawing is very precise. It is mostly used in technical fields like architecture. These drawings are used to generate blueprints for everything from a building to a car.

PERSPECTIVE DRAWING

Perspective drawing is used by artists to create 3D images on 2D picture planes like paper. It is representative of distance, volume, space, surface area, light, and scale from a precise angle.

ILLUSTRATION DRAWING

Illustrations found in books are the most common form of this drawing style. This is an art form where an idea expressed in text is represented as an image. It can be a concept or a process that is ultimately intended to be used in a book on a poster, or in magazines, just to name a few.

DIAGRAMMATIC DRAWING

Diagrammatic drawings are used to explain the workings of something. It is also often used to explain the relationship between the various parts that make up a whole.

Each of these drawing styles has its place. However, freehand sketching and creating portraits from real life or photos are the most interesting because of their diversity and boundless creativity.

SKETCH PORTRAITS, WHETHER IN PENCIL OR OTHER MEDIA, ARE TRULY WORKS OF ART

These pictures require thinking outside the box, passion, and artistic skill. With these works of art, the artist adds meaning to the chosen subject, whether a live creature or object. The magic of the pencil brings it to life in a more meaningful way, so that it represents more than the object it portrays.

HERE ARE A FEW TYPES OF PORTRAITS:

Creative sketch portraits are a creative style that reaches out and grabs the viewer. They can be as realistic as a photograph. Just like an artist uses brushes, a photographer will use different lighting, angles, lenses, and atmosphere to “capture the moment.”

An artist can use these images to create their own works. Let’s look at the different types of photographs:

Naked or Nude – These photos are raw. There’s no hiding here. It’s all out in the open. Everyone can see, interpret, and comment. It’s real.

The Voyeur – This photo is when the subject is caught by surprise or doesn’t even know the photo is being taken. Just make sure you aren’t breeching any privacy laws with this one.

Fashion — Here the focus is on the clothing or accessories rather than the model. Usually this type of photography is reserved for magazines. A valuable form of art with the intention of selling the products.

Grit – This refers to a black and white photograph. It’s full of emotion and is blurry or grainy. Taking a gritty photo and transforming it into a sketch portrait takes immense skill.

Glamour portraits — This is a photographic portrait that depicts a subject, usually female, in an exciting or erotic pose. Although it can be sexy, this style of portrait may have fully clothed or nude models and will generally draw attention away from the breasts and buttocks.

The best portrait artists are familiar with each of these portrait types, and know how to work magic with all of them.

WHAT SHOULD YOU CONSIDER WHEN LOOKING FOR A SKETCH ARTIST?

PRICE

Stay within your budget. Make sure you check the price before deciding you like an artist. When you know it’s affordable, start considering the work.

CHECK OUT THEIR PORTFOLIO

Looking at the artist’s pervious work is the best way to determine skill. An artist’s work is subjective. You may find an obnoxious artist but upon reviewing their work find they have the artistic skills you’re seeking.

AVAILABILITY

Making sure the artist can meet your deadline is paramount. A calendar conflict can create delays. If you need a family portrait sketched for a reunion that’s just a week away, and the artist you’re considering is overseas till Saturday, you’re going to have to look elsewhere.

Communication is everything. Just make sure you deliver all the important facts up-front, so you can figure things out sooner rather than later. Always tell them when your deadline is and ask whether they can meet it. If they cannot give you a definitive answer, find another artist.

PRE-BOOKING

Some portrait specialists are booked months in advance. That’s a great sign of their credibility and performance, but it only works for you if you have the time. Before you start vesting your interest, make sure you inquire as to the artist’s schedule. If it doesn’t mesh with yours then you’ve got to take your search elsewhere.

There are many top notch portrait artists out there. Your job is to figure out what exactly you want, when you want it, how much you’re willing to spend and how far you’re willing to travel to get it.
