Drawing from Photographs - Your Family We all have favorite photos of our family or friends. Since "you are the editor," you will incorporate the information we have reinforced in this class when drawing your favorites. I will strongly reinforce composition, negative and positive space and value structure. Bring in a photo that is dear to you or you just find intriguing. Drawing kits: Graphite or charcoal Color if you wish. Bristol paper for graphite Charcoal paper for charcoal Cool Artist links. I chose photorealists. By no means do you have to try to be a photorealist. They have no qualms about copying the photo exactly. You, my friends, may choose to interpret otherwise.
