Step 6Bring on the detail.
SO, here's what I learned during this step. Yay, discovery learning! When doing a spherical 3D shape, ONE- remember to refer back to either your print-out or your tripod-based viewfinder, and TWO- REMEMBER PROPORTION. I happened to use the wrong proportion with this particular project, but it came out nonetheless (what art is wrong or right anyway?).
In my future of sphere drawing this is what I will keep in mind and what I will now pass on to you:
After you've figured out your long oblong shape (think of a vertical french baguette) divide it into 4 parts from top to bottom. If you'd like something like text to appear readable to the viewer it tends to be in the bottom-most quarter of the baguette (the part closes to the viewer, the furthest part being the quarter that recedes most into space).
To use my basketball as an example, I wrote 'SPALDING' in the exact middle- proportionate to where it 'should' be according to my print out. But I DISREGARDED the ANAMORPHOSES! Next time, I'll write it closer to the bottom. Again, yay discovery learning.
