Hello my friends and welcome to another Tuesday of tutorial!
I am Leonardo Pereznieto and today we will draw a bald eagle
with fountain pen.
Let´s begin sketching with a mechanical pencil the shape
of the wings… and the body.
In this case the wings will be folded down, because of flapping them.
Here, as an oval, goes the body it looks a little bit strange because
the angle is almost from the front.
Here go the feathers of the wing and the other wing.
Obviously I´m sketching this with pencil
with my Tutto3, so as be able to erase and make corrections,
before applying the ink.
And I'm glad because this wing actually
should go a little bit thinner.
Like this.
Very good!
¡Excelente!
The tail, goes here on the back [laughter]
obviously , it could´t be in front.
And here, on the bottom part of the head if we look at it
from this angle, the beak which sort to extense to the size,
a little.
I use the eraser that is on the back of the Tutto3, to make corrections.
The eyes... and the head.
I will extend the feathers in this area a little bit,
so they are even with the ones on the other wing.
And by the way at the end of this video, I will show
some of your drawings, that you shared in the Fine Art-Tips
mobile App.
And now, let´s go over the line with ink, I´m using a fountain pen.
And as maybe you have seen in some other of my videos,
I am using it, upside down because in this position
paints thinner than using it in the regular way like for writing.
We achieve the shading with short lines, and we do this
in the same direction as the feathers happen.
This is really fun!
I love drawing with fountain pen!
In order to darken we can do different things, like draw
the lines tighter together, press more so that they come
a little thicker, turn the pen around so that they are even
thicker [laughter], or mainly crossing lines in different
directions which is hatching and crosshatching.
In this drawing I am applying all the above mentioned to
be able to achieve different tonalities.
We wait a little bit and once the ink dries, we can erase
the pencil sketch.
And now we use a white pastel pencil.
With this I will make the feathers of the head and the tail.
I am drawing on beige paper.
If it were white it wouldn´t show what I am doing right now.
It doesn´t necessarily need to be beige but on ¨toned¨ paper you can see the white.
With the pen let´s delineate the line a little better, and give it some touches.
Now, I will sketch where the shadow is going to be.
It will be very close right here to show that he´s flying
swiping the ground.
And let´s darken it a little bit more
because it is a sunny day which projects a dark shadow.
When using ink we should keep in the discipline and
not just filling the space black.
But rather to darken we should keep drawing lines, or at least
that´s the classic technique.
You can find photos of the finished drawings from the tutorials,
both on the Fine Art-Tips mobile App, and on the Facebook page,
in case you want to copy them or use them as reference.
Good!
And it´s ready!
I hope you like this drawing... and as promised, now let´s
