Optical Design

 

The Steps

  1.  Use #2 pencil to draw Draw 6+ vertical waves. Alter space and curves so that they feel like they pucker and bloat.
  2. Draw a simple wave horizontally across the middle of the page to designate where you curve will rise and or dip.
  3.  Use thin Sharpie to draw upward curves above the middle wave and downward curves below the middle wave.  Make you curve like a U. Repeat this process on every vertical section.  Do not draw the middle line in Sharpie, this line is Erased before you start shading.
  4. Color each section gradating color from dark to light to dark. Use an analogous color and apply same gradation pattern. Alternate colors in each vertical row.
  5. Use different colors for each vertical section.
    To get a perfect blend of colors
    • shade lightly the entire shape with a color of your choice,
    • Next shade full strength – leaving a small area in the middle lighter for the highlight, use white pencil to blend the middle.
    • use black or a darker color to blend the sides of the shape.
