The purpose of the under drawing is to explore the direction you want to
take the drawing. It is there so you’re final drawing looks good, once the
under drawing is done, you then draw over your under drawing, either
directly, or on top with another piece of paper, “tracing” the final lines of
your drawing.
There are two kinds of tracing, the bad kind and the good kind.
1. The bad kind is what most people do. They take, say, a drawing, put
some tracing paper over it and mindlessly follow the lines of the original
drawing underneath. The end product looks like a wobbly, ugly version of the
original drawing.
2. The good kind is what draftsmen do. They take that same drawing
and the same tracing paper and REDRAW the original drawing
underneath, using it as a guide and making confident line CHOICES. The
result is a new confident drawing based on the original.
“Good tracing” is in fact, not quite tracing but redrawing. Since it’s
redrawing, you make conscious choices as you go. By doing so, you end up
not only refining your drawing but also, your drawing skills
Tips - Try it on Your Drawings
1. Draw your under drawing, very lightly onto your paper. Be messy but put very little pressure on the pencil.
Once you have the under drawing the way you want it, go back in and pick out the lines you want by making
darker “final” lines over your under drawing.
2. If you’re having trouble drawing a light under drawing, then simply draw the under drawing as dark as you
want to. When it’s time to do the “final” line, use a ball point pen. The drawback to doing it this way is that if you
make a mistake with your final line, you won’t be able to erase it. The good thing
about doing it this way is that, once you’re done, you can erase the under drawing and you’ll end up with a nice,
clean final line.
3. If the color line is too dark, get an eraser and “dim down” the lines a bit so they aren’t so dark.
