Penis Chopping Block Delineated
I started this drawing with a light pencil sketch. After the preliminary sketch I commenced using the contour line to create the rendering. Contour lines are best for making the outline of the figure because they make the form of the image. I make sure that I do not make all of the contour lines too bold because they will flatten the appearance of the image. Contour lines tend to make a figure look two dimensional. It is important to balance the line weight with the tone of the figures.
When you look at the drawing above you can see the strong contour line on the knife and the hand holding it. The darkest and most bold areas are the spaces under the hand and balls. When I finished the contour lines I started using hatched lines because they are needed to make shade and shadows. The bottom of the knife blade and the sides of the chopping block have vertical hatch lines. The legs and balls are also shaded with hatched lines.
The best way to get things done is to work both the contour lines and the hatch lines together. They were developed to compliment each other not compete with each other. The softer tones on the penis were done by gentle rubbing of the pencil on the surface of the peper. The line work all over the drawing was done quickly and this can be seen by the curve movement at the end of each line. Most of the drama in the drawing takes place on the penis because this is where the action is.
