I share my work, my evolving process and what knowledge Ive gained on my own learning journey here, in the hope that it might help you along on yours.Of course that just means that Ive done more practice than I really needed to, and thats a good thing really.Its not how quickly I get through the plates that counts, its how much I learn from them.
Also I wasnt using construction lines, except where I really felt I had no choice. When I did I thought I was cheating, but in fact youre supposed to use the construction lines supplied in the schematic. Always view the drawing and measure from this same point, viewing it from a different angle may distort the relationships between your measurements. From that point, sight across to your paper and judge where the corresponding point would be on your vertical construction line. With your eye fixed on the spot on your paper where your mark is going to go, walk over and mark it. Do this by holding your hand-held plumb line, a ruler, or whatever, horizontally, and judge the distance on the original between the point and the vertical construction line. As before, walk over and mark it on the drawing, adjust and correct as necessary, but only look at the drawing from your spot marked on the floor. I cant say much about that yet since Ive only just started doing it on plate three. Guaranteed its not going to be simple figuring out how though. Even if you dont want to copy the plates actual size, theyll need to be set up on an easel if youre going to copy them in the recommended manner. Mostly in the areas of dark tone, the sensitivity isnt there and you get a dark blob of one overall tone instead of the variegated tones on the original plate. After finishing the plate, (which took me a good thirty or so hours,) I looked at the plate in the book and again and realised that Id lost a lot of detail on my laser copy. The problem with this is that I believe that this course is very carefully put together in a progression, especially at the start. Plate three added tone to the line drawings, just the areas of the darkest shadows, no mid tones yet. Plate four adds mid tones, they are basically full tone drawings at this point. I have a strong feeling that if I dont get each stage right Ill be scuppered on the next one, so thats why it bothers me that my reproductions are not good. My plan at the moment is to take some digital shots of the plates, enlarge them to the correct size on the PC, then take them to the printers and see what the best quality they can do is. I suspect its going to cost me an arm and a leg to get a decent number of the plates done that way, but at least Im working so slowly on them that the cost will be spread over a very, very long period.
