Hello RHB!

Let’s Get Realistic!

The Encyclopedia Britannica defines realism as “the accurate, detailed, unembellished depiction of nature or of contemporary life.” Illustrative Realism and Traditional Realism are both subsets of the genre, and interestingly, the main thing that distinguishes the two is their use of contour lines. While illustrative realists use contour lines to draw attention to their subjects, traditional realists often don’t use contour lines at all.

No matter which camp you’re in, learning to create realistic drawings will provide you with lots of great skills. This week’s lessons are written and illustrated by Brenda Hoddinott and Mike Sibley.
