Contour drawing effect:
I want to shoot some nudes so that they look like contour drawings. What kind of lighting and/or manipulation in PhotoShop would I use? Thanks, RA |

One approach would be fairly hard lighting, and then posterize in photoshop. -- David Dyer-Bennet, , http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/ RKBA: http://noguns-nomoney.com/ http://www.dd-b.net/carry/ Pics: http://dd-b.lighthunters.net/ http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/ Dragaera/Steven Brust: http://dragaera.info/ |

Use a slide with stripes of the sort that you would like to have fall accross the object. Draw/print stripes on paper and photograph? Photoshop: take the mouse and start drawing lines. If the lighting is just right posterzing the image will give a sort-of topographical map approach. -- Nicholas O. Lindan, Cleveland, Ohio Consulting Engineer: Electronics; Informatics; Photonics.

If the lighting is just right posterzing the image will give a sort-of topographical map approach. One simple approach might be to shoot through two layers of screen - the overlapping grids form what's called a moire pattern (I'm too lazy to punctuate that correctly) and may produce an effect close enough to what you're after. Doctors use this very method to detect scoliosis, because asymmetries in the spinal column will become visible within the pattern. See http://www.rch.org.au/erc/photo/index.cfm?doc_id=141 for an example. Good luck! - Al. -- To reply, insert dash in address to match domain below Online photo gallery at www.wading-in.net |
Well, Blind contour drawing is to practice hand eye movement which is very useful when drawing from observation. Contour drawing is used in order to practice on seeing and using negative space. Its meant to focus more on the negative “objects” than on the object being drawn.
