Cutaway Drawing - Technique

Technique

The location and shape to cut the outside object depends on many different factors, for example:

  • the sizes and shapes of the inside and outside objects,
  • the semantics of the objects,
  • personal taste, etc.

These factors, according to Diepstraten et al. (2003), "can seldom be formalized in a simple algorithm, But the properties of cutaway can be distinguish in two classes of cutaways of a drawing":

  • cutout : illustrations were the cutaway is retricted to very simple and regularly shaped of often only a small number of planar slices into the outside object.
  • breakaway : a cutaway realized by a single hole in the outside object.

Famous quotes containing the word technique:

    Technique is the test of sincerity. If a thing isn’t worth getting the technique to say, it is of inferior value.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    The more technique you have, the less you have to worry about it. The more technique there is, the less there is.
    Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)

    The audience is the most revered member of the theater. Without an audience there is no theater. Every technique learned by the actor, every curtain, every flat on the stage, every careful analysis by the director, every coordinated scene, is for the enjoyment of the audience. They are our guests, our evaluators, and the last spoke in the wheel which can then begin to roll. They make the performance meaningful.
    Viola Spolin (b. 1911)
