How to Draw 3D Shapes with Shading Home » How to Draw 3D Shapes » with Shading In this lesson we will cover how you can draw 3D shapes with shading. It is all about pressing the pencil down on the paper with different strength, so that the color is stronger or lighter. Shading is time consuming. We are going to take a look at three basic geometric figures: The cylinder, the cone and the sphere. How to move the pencil So the goal of shading is to spread different values of color smoothly across the paper, going from dark to light or vice versa. The easiest way to do this is to move the pencil in a zigzag fashion. Different Pencils What sort of pencil you use is very important here! The mines in pencils have different degrees of hardness.This is indicated with letters on the pencils. 5H: Although I pressed the pencil down violently at the left side, you still only see a very slight darker tone. 2H: A bit softer, but still pretty hard. HB:This pencil is just in the middle between hard ("H") and soft ("B"). 0. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 1.

Drawing Realistic Hair with Pencil Part One | OnlyPencil Drawing Tutorials This will be an introduction on how i draw hair and the tools that i use. I will split this tutorial into sections because i want you to have time to practice and for you to understand the technique. In this tutorial i will explain how understanding hair and fur will help in developing realistic textures and hair. Like ive mentioned before drawing hair/fur is not about actually drawing each and every hair. Something else that you will notice is that hair is not all pointing in the same direction. So how do i draw hair. Negative Drawing is a big part of drawing hair and i recommend that you first understand what im talking about before going on. The tools that use are a pen with no ink and a pen with a needle inserted on the tip. Ok, you now have your pen and your needle, now were ready to test it out. Now take the pen and do the same but this time cross hatch them. Remember i mentioned that hair clumps up. Look at the image below and draw it using what i just showed you.

How to Draw Water in Pencil About Diane Wright In 2002, I picked up my art pencil again after 20+ years. During this break, I devoted my time to my family and building a career. Even though I earned my Bachelor of Fine Art degree at the University of Northern Iowa, my career path ventured away from the fine arts. I am currently an IT Manager at a medical auditing firm in Des Moines, IA. - Diane Wright To learn more about Diane and to view her work, please visit her website: How to Draw Water in Pencil Water. Our water landscape possibilities are endless. Lesson Goal: The goal of this lesson is two fold – we are going to explore how to draw water, but more importantly we are going to review the process of observation, analysis and interpretation, the “tools” that will allow us to draw any subject matter, no matter how complex. That’s a pretty tall order, but I think we can accomplish it. The Power of Observation. “The more you look, the more you see. So let’s look at our first image.
How to Draw a Squirrel Drawing a SQUIRREL: Step 1 Start to sketch the squirrel lightly in pencil. OUTLINE THE IMAGE IN PENCIL: The first step in this drawing lesson is to sketch a basic outline in pencil. This is done to establish the correct proportions and shapes of the image before we start inking. It is very easy to correct mistakes in a pencil drawing but exceptionally difficult to make changes to ink. Drawing a SQUIRREL: Step 2 Ink over the pencil lines. INK THE OUTLINE: The second step in our drawing is to ink over the sketch and erase the pencil lines. TECHNIQUE: As ink is a wet medium, give your drawing plenty of time to dry before you erase the pencil lines or you may smudge the image. Drawing a SQUIRREL: Step 3 Apply the texture of the fur. APPLYING TEXTURE: The next step is to start to build up the texture of the squirrel's fur. TECHNIQUE: All the lines and marks you draw should follow the natural direction of the bristles as this will help you to establish the form and texture of the animal.
DRAWING GRASS (Negative Drawing techniques)at MIKE SIBLEY FINE ART What do you see when you look at this picture on the right? Do you see an ancient black drinking cup? Maybe an ebony candlestick holder? These are the positive images. Or do you see two white faces both looking at each other? Think of these faces as the areas or what I call "White Space". You can of course draw grass in any way you choose from "sketchy" (which serves its purpose here as this drawing is just 1½" high and the grass exists only to place the tractor in space)... ...to where it plays a full role as an integral part of the "reality" of the drawing. It confuses the rational element that tries to control the creative side. "The coconut shy principle" Pick up a ball, quickly turn around and throw it at a target the instant you see it. "The parking principle" Try slowly and carefully reversing a car into a tight parking space and you will often fail. DASH & REHASH v SLOW 'N STEADY I have two basic ways of working - both equally justifiable - "dash and rehash" and "slow 'n steady".

Pencil Drawing Techniques With Examples - Bored Art Pencils have not gotten as much credit as they should get when it comes to the visual arts. But the fact is that pencils can help you produce some remarkable works of art that will leave you reeling with surprise but only if you know what you are doing. To do that, you will have to have a grasp of pencil drawing techniques that will give you an idea on what strokes and techniques to use to get the effect you want to create. All you need to do is look at beautiful drawing pencil sketches and art examples and you will be dying to try to create some of your own. It is only when you learn how to draw with pencils will you realize why they say that simple is not the same thing as easy and while pencil drawings may seem simple they are anything but easy. Whether you are producing deep and profound art or working on scribble art to make your home and office look awesome, you will find this article pretty useful. Given here are some of the basic pencil drawing techniques with examples:
40 Realistic Water Drops Drawings And Tutorials Sometimes the simplest subjects are the toughest to draw and depict realistically and this is because while they may be considered mundane in our lives, they are complex in terms of drawing and art. Take for instance the simple and humble water drop, we see them, clean them and take them for granted but when it comes to drawing a water drop it is anything but simple or mundane. It is like when you learn how to draw an eye – it is definitely challenging to master this but infinitely satisfying to be able to recreate them. A drop of water is also like the eye in sense that it reflects light and other things unlike other solid objects and this adds to the challenges and complexity faced by the artist. While you are in the process of explaining how to draw water droplets in a realistic way, you would also do well to look at a tutorial about brushes and learn all you wanted to know about them so that you know what brush to create what effect to create.
Different Types Of Perspective In Art With Examples - Bored Art One will not be completely wrong in saying that most art is all about perspective. This is because often the work of art that we see in front of us is something that is presented from the artist’s perspective. Whether it is sensational and soothing scenic road photography or a painting that has a new angle. If you are having difficulty wrapping your head around this concept, then you should look at amazing silhouettes art for inspiration. Or for another perspective (pardon the pun), looking at surprisingly genius negative space art examples. But here we are talking about perspective from the purely technical point of view, which is also something that you have to grasp in order to become a good artist. A good artist would try to learn about all the points of view and what they are called so that they can discuss these well when asked about them. That is why we are going to explain about perspective drawings in this article:
