How to draw sketches with depth, how deep is your drawing?
By Gareth(bog) Pritchard of How to draw.
How to draw sketches with depth, how deep is your drawing? How to draw sketches with depth will give you the basic understanding of how to create more depth in your drawings making them seem more realistic.
Looking around me I see many people making drawings that lack depth and perspective. This article is intended to go over some tips that will improve your drawings giving them more depth and perspective. It really is not that hard to do and just requires some simple basic understanding of techniques to create the illusion of depth. There are only a few key areas that that you need to cover in order to understand these principles for creating depth in your drawing. These include tonal value, close detail, and object sizing. Each of these areas plays an important role in the creation of depth in your drawing. Each one is relatively simple to do and understand. All you need to do really is use your common sense and judgment when drawing, incorporating some of these techniques. Just drawing everything you see often creates drawings that are cluttered, over worked and flat. Incorporating these simple tricks into your work will make a big difference in the overall impact your drawings make on the viewer. Tonal value is the first area we need to talk about; objects closer to you are always more detailed with stronger tonal values as compared to objects further away in the distance. If you stand outside and look into the distance you should be able to see this effect, on bright sunny days it is almost impossible to see any clear definition or tonal value in the distance. Very often dark areas of shadow look washed out and lighter in tone where as close up the darker areas look very dark almost black and this can easily be recreated in your drawings by remembering that objects in the distance are less well defined and lighter in tone. You can draw the tonal values of objects any shade you want so objects that are close up can be in strong values with good definition and contrast but objects in the distance can have less variation or tonal strength making them pale with less detail. This creates good separation between the objects in your foreground and the objects in your back ground creating a sense of distance. The same can be done at the other end of the tonal spectrum where light areas of objects in the foreground can be white and in the background they can be light gray. You can also add greater depth by changing the amount of detail put into each object in the drawing. Objects that are close up will be drawn with more detail than objects in the back ground; common sense says that objects close up should be more detailed than objects in the distance. This will make the objects in the background look as if they are further away. The last point you should think about is that objects close up will be bigger than objects in the distance so when creating depth in your drawing size really does matter. • Objects in the very distance will be small where as those close up will be much bigger. • Objects in the very distance will be light in tonal value with little contrast where as objects in the foreground will have greater tonal variation with stronger tonal values. • Objects in the distance will have less detail and may only be vague outlines where as those close up will have greater detail and definition. Following these basic rules of how to draw sketches with depth will help your drawings look more realistic and create the illusion of looking into the drawing giving it the illusion of depth. For years I have been trying to tell you that drawing is easy and that it brings so much reward that I can’t tell you if you can’t see but it’s really quite easy if you can write your name you can draw.
Originally there is not very much at all but there are so many reasons, many of us who know what might happen, yes I think we should at least try.

Thanks for an excellent article with wonderful tips! One more -- if you're working in color, using cooler colors in the background areas and warmer ones in the foreground helps to create distance, also using more mixed or muted colors in background and saving the brightest pure spectrum hues for near ground ones helps. Sometimes there's a yellow tree in the far distance, but if it's something like that it's possible to mute it by adding white. White tends to diminish the intensity of colors, while I'd use the pure brilliant yellow for a yellow tree right in the foreground.
CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY
Hi Robert, Thank you for the added info it is a useful addition for those wanting to work in colour I avoided colour to save confusion but I am not complaining and perhaps I should have added it but I don't have to now. Thanks again, Ted.
