THE PLAN
Students will draw an over-the-top milkshake using a reference image.
An artistic focus is placed on creativity, color, value, texture, contrast, repetition, proportion, scale, unity, and realism.
Drawing paper
Colored pencils (Prisma Colors)
Pencil and eraser
Resource images for inspiration
Students will begin drawing their over-the-top milkshake by first lightly sketching an outline of the milkshake using their gridded reference image as a guide.
With the outline of their milkshake lightly drawn, students will begin adding color with a focus on layering colors to match the milkshake in their reference image.
Students should start with light pressure and light color values. Students will not be allowed to use black for this drawing. Instead, they should a colors complement to create dark value or near black coloring.
After students have completed the outline drawing of their milkshake, they will use colored pencils to apply color onto their drawing. (Students will observe a guided demonstration on how to work with colored pencils prior to beginning their own application of color). Students will slowly add color, referencing their inspiration images when necessary.
Important Artistic Tips:
Color pencil should be applied in layers for a more dynamic result; it is important to use soft pressure initially.
Students want to remember that working at a slower, careful pace allows for less errors to be made.
When working with colored pencil, students should consider how to show a wide range of value within their drawing; specifically, they should focus on included shading and highlighting.
Color should be added consistently throughout the entire drawing; a high level of craftsmanship should be easily noticeable when the drawing is complete and consistency of color application contributes a great deal to this.
