Hello my friends and welcome to another Tuesday of tutorial!
I am Leonardo Pereznieto and today we will draw a Christmas sphere
on the snow.
First, using a CD or something round,
we trace a circle.
For this I'm using a white charcoal pencil, and I'm drawing on blue cardboard paper.
With a marker on this side of the sphere,
let's draw the reflection of a tree.
Up here.
And then down in a curving line,
the horizon.
Let's draw a pine tree over here,
also curving, slightly,
obviously because of the shape of the sphere.
And then with a charcoal white,
let's draw a very bright reflection
just by the horizon.
I invite you to follow me on Instagram
@artistleonardo to see my new works of art.
And then we can come back with the white
but pressing less, so that it is not as bright,
and we should leave an area blank...
with the color of the paper.
We bring also a little bit of white over here...
lightly
and I´ll reinforce this bright part.
With a stump, we can soften it,
and make it more even. I'm doing this especially because this paper has a texture,
and here I don't want it to show,
I want it to be smooth.
This sphere is on the snow,
so with a dark grey pencil, let's do the cast shadow from here.
Lightly.
I´ll do layers of strokes in different directions to make it more even and let's do it darker,
closer to the sphere.
I´ll modify slightly these shapes, so that it is more even.
And down here we should have a reflection of the tree,
as well.
Now the branches of it, on both sides.
I have drawn this tree only with a marker.
Now I add pencil to give it more detail,
more detail and more tonalities.
Like so...
Very good!
Also here.
And we may add some very thin trees.
The list of materials that I am using is in the information below the video.
We should also draw the snow,
where the sphere is.
This will be like in layers,
or little hills.
We can do small spots of reflection,
that is fun and I think it looks nice.
We should do the next hill in a different direction,
on a different angle.
And I want to thicken or extend these branches a bit.
Now, let's draw the part that holds the sphere.
I sketch it with a "Col-Erase" pencil, because I can erase that
easily,
in case I make a mistake.
And then to give the color, I´ll use the Prismacolor Premiers,
as for the rest of the sphere, which are waxed base and therefore
they cannot easily be erased.
The lighting is up, behind and slightly to the left
and let's not forget to draw the string to hold the sphere,
altho it fell [laughter].
And we draw some branches,
softly so they are out of focus behind the sphere.
If you made it all the way to this point, I would love to know it!
please in the comments write me the secret code:
"A fallen sphere".
And I will answer "On shinning snow" [laughter].
And it´s ready!
If you enjoyed it, please give it a LIKE!
