The small partners who have learned to draw should have experienced, the teacher let take a pencil on paper and practice the experience of line line, the so-called line, is a large number of dense short lines, a sketch work, is composed of countless lengths of different lengths, different thickness of the short line composition, the line can show the relationship between light and weight, thickness, dense, it can be said that the sense of light and shadow and three-dimensional sense of a painting are composed of lines.
Ask the question, what happens if a line is drawn uninterruptedly? Maybe many painting whites will answer that if a line is drawn uninterruptedly, there will be a mess of lines. But Taylor Foster, an abstract artist from Texas, creates captivating portraits with a long line that never intersects.
Painting a painting with a line is already the artist's unique artistic style, before, he had not locked the subject of the painting on the portrait, in the process of groping, he continued to improve his painting skills, and finally took the portrait as his own subject. With a bunch of seemingly disorganized lines hiding a character's face, how did Tyler Foster do it?
First, Taylor Foster would find a random point on the outer edge of a piece of paper as a starting point, and then cycle back and forth in a wavy line or jagged pattern until the line filled the entire page, and the details of the face were formed by the number of cracks in the line and the degree to which those cracks protruded. From a distance, wavy lines look like empty space, while more curved lines create a dark-sided visual effect.
A line runs through the whole piece of paper, which seems to be disorganized, but there is a sense of order hidden in the chaos, otherwise, how can it possibly show the outline of the character? Many people who have seen this artist's work can't help but marvel that his hand must have been "magiced". What's interesting about Taylor Foster's line portraits is that the farther away you are from it, the clearer you can see the people in the painting.
Recently, he is an artist who has created a group of line paintings on the theme of celebrity portraits, including marilyn Monroe, Einstein, etc., which we are familiar with, and then Xiao Dai will share a few paintings with you, if you are interested, enjoy it with Xiao Dai.
