How to draw What You See - the Technique step by step (3)

You are ready to start the drawing and are now ready to try drawing techniques?

If you've read my previous articles and have done what I suggested, you need to:
1 Drawing great supplies
2 Joined a community of drawing
3 Found a large photo of draw
4. Request when I finally tell you how to draw.

You are all ready to draw... but do not know how to get started. Let me start with two excellent drawing techniques.

There are so many different ways to draw. You may be looking for the technique of drawing that will help you draw what you see. Or, you can try something new and see what happens. In this article, I will consider the step by step technique and technical drawing upside down. Recently, I started using both when drawing pictures of people.

The Technique of the step by step.

Before you begin the process step by step, make sure that the image you choose to draw is:

1 Not too hard for you. Do not try to design something that is really detailed or seems too hard immediately. Except that for later. A well designed simple object can be very rewarding.
2 Clear (perfectly in particular).A large image makes for a great design. Do not derive from a grainy, blurry, blurry, distorted, blurred (I run adjectives) image. Why set yourself to failure? It is not worth.
3 Something that you really want to draw. Draw something that looks like real takes time. You really draw your subject. For example, if you like cars, try a drawing. Put yourself to the challenge.

Step 1

Most people first with the HB or a f. I love usually with 2 b. It does not matter the pencil you choose as long as it is quite difficult.

Using your light pencil, draw a very very slight overview of your drawing. For example, only draw the contour of the head, eyes, students, mouth, low nose, eyebrows and hair.

Do not get taken here for too long. Make rough. It will never look very well until you start shading coming later. You may need to hide the gum for this part. If you can not get the right proportions, grab a ruler and slightly draw spaced lines of one inch. Do likewise for the photo you draw (which should be the same size as your drawing). Find what is wrong and move as quickly as possible in step 2.

Step 2

Then, take a darker pencil, which is if you use a pencil lighter than the 2 b and start filling in the parts of the image that you see are a little darker.

Getting still very detailed areas. Find the parts that are important. Do not draw lines or wrinkles on the face, neck or the strands of hair. Stick to the eyes, nose, mouth and the contour of the head.

Step 3

Then, once you have completed the darker areas are beginning to work on the shading in your lines. It is important not to leave most of the last shade because otherwise it loses some of the spot some of the details you want to stand. Then, you have to draw their new. Some artists in the shade throughout the region, such as the face and then clarify the areas shaded with their gum kneaded. I prefer not.

Step 4

Then, start working on some important details. It is wise to start (if you are right-handed) at the top left of the page and work your way to the bottom of the object. Start with the eyes, and then work on the nose and mouth, assuming that your drawing of a face. Once you have completed the important details, shading in your line that you will start on the hair, ears, neck, etc. of finishing.

I usually leave the background to the end. I often like to keep it light or very dark. In this way, he focused the attention of the viewers on the design and not the background (I will explain why in an article on the use of positive and negative space).

Finally, mixing these unwanted lines, and then you're done!

When you have finished to try this technique, you can also try the upside down technical. My next article will describe how to use this technique.

Happy drawing!
