Hello my friends and welcome to another Tuesday of tutorial!
I am Leonardo Pereznieto and today we will draw a Christmas´
sphere with texture.
As you saw to begin I traced a circle with a protractor.
And now we go over it with a blue marker.
Carefully.
Like so.
Then we widen the line a bit.
And we fill in a shape which will be the darker area.
Then with a lighter blue, the rest.
The lighter area of course will be a sort of reflection,
and the rest will be in shade.
Now to begin giving the texture,
we make many dots with a blue marker.
With this also we soften the line between the dark and light blue.
We fill it in, a lot!
And we make more dots.
When I did the outline with the thick marker
I had some imperfections so I smooth it out a bit
with a smaller marker.
And to do the shading we make more dots,
but this time with a black marker.
I do them as if I were shading the sphere:
Close to the edge and on this darker reflection
toward the center.
Let´s look at it closer!
We have many blue dots already and let´s add
some black ones.
Like so.
And now with a white pastel pencil,
let´s add some reflections.
Pretty much in the same manner,
with dots.
Of course we do them mainly on the lighter area
but we will also add some on the darker one
because this texture sticks out a little bit
and we may get some reflections also from those areas.
Alright!
Good!
Now to create more contrast
let´s add more black
again, on this central dark reflection, and also toward the edges.
Ok, good!
¡Excelente!
Now let´s do the part that holds the sphere.
We mark it with pencil…
like this…
It is a bit wider on the lower part than on the top one.
And it has a ring on top.
The lower part will be reflecting and so we can
do it white.
For the rest I use a light gray marker.
This is going to be like the base color and as it is a metallic part,
it will also need reflections.
We can do the dark ones with a black pencil.
Let´s add one here, close to the center,
and then, by both edges.
We also do the shadow
and the ring.
Good!
And we can reinforce the light reflections, with the white.
Please remember about the spirit of Christmas:
Be cheerful, be grateful, be loving, and give abundantly.
We give it the last details, the last touches and it´s ready!
