Art Studio : Lesson 6


	Lesson 6 " Making the Insides and Making Edgings on Kranok Design "

		When you succeed in drawing Kranok Design without details from Lesson 5, you will learn how to add the insides in the Kranok Design in this lesson. Moreover, you will be taught how to make edgings on them (both edging the lines in and out) and add the small "leave" at the base of the design. Sometimes we call this kind of design as " Kranok Bai Thet " because it looks like the hibiscus' leaves. The hibiscus' flowers consist of very beautiful overlapped petals.

Instructions in making the insides and the cuts on the design

1. Draw a right-angled triangle, the same size as that indicated in lesson 5.

2. Begin with an additional "leaf" (one in the equilateral triangle mentioned in Lesson 5). Draw it curvely and make the top curl like the curve of the young leaf which is not fully open. Then make an edging in the middle of the design (see example).

3. You can notice when to edge in and out from the example. Draw the line from the base and draw it until you reach the top of the design and draw the line downward. Then will be line edgings along such line (see example).

4. When the Kranok Design is complete, the next step is to make the insides, both within the Kranok Design and the additional leaf. The lines of the insides are lighter than those of the outsides.

5. The design is complete.

6. The approaches in drawing the design the design from the reverse side are the same as those drawn from the right.

	Remarks 1. Drawing this kind of design is more difficult than drawing the Kranok Design without details. The mistake that often occurs is that the beginner often forget the outline of Kranok Design without details from Lesson 5. Thus, the design in this lesson may be distorted. I suggest that you draw an outline of Kranok Design from Lesson 5 lightly. Then draw a thicken line along the outline. Please note the range of the line edgings from the example. 2. You can note that I make so deep edgings that it overlaps the insides (the gray lines). This is my unique style. You may make less deep edgings in order that they will not overlap the insides. 3. I would like to give some advice as in the previous lessons - - practice drawing the design more than 100 times from both sides. 4. You should notice that the additional leaf and the Kranok Design must be exactly fitted together as if we put Kranok Design into the additional leaf. If your drawing is not similar to what I have explained, please draw it again. Try to imagine that it is like we place the flower (Kranok) on the additional leaf. 5. The Kranok Design which has already been edged will look very much like a leaf or a petal. Therefore, if the Kranok Design drawn by you looks lifeless, you should practice more. The good Kranok Design must be lively and fresh like young rolled up leaf which is curly, lively and delicate.
