Hello my friends and welcome! to another Tuesday of tutorial.
I am Leonardo Pereznieto and today we will draw Birdman.
We begin by marking the size and sketching the general shape of the head,
which is of course, an oval.
We make an horizontal and vertical guideline,
then the shoulders and the wings.
I´m using a blue pencil called col-erase and which has
the advantage that it can be erased.
This is ideal for sketching because you can easily make corrections.
With regular color pencils as you know… it is really hard to erase.
I measured the height of the eyes which go in the middle of the face
and then we do the detail of the mask, features and shoulders.
By the way the list of materials is in the description under the video.
Taking advantage that this pencil can be erased
we do some corrections on the body, to put the muscles in place.
Good!
Now we refine some detail.
One of the reasons why I´m drawing Birdman, is
because it was a great pleasure to me to known that the Mexican
director Alejandro González Iñarritu, won three Oscars with this movie,
he wrote the script and he won the Oscar for that, he won as the best director
and also as the best movie.
And another mexican Emanuel Lubeski, won the prize for the best photography.
Congratulations to both, I´m proud of them!
Now, back to the drawing.
I will erase the shoulder that is on our right, to give it
a touch of surrealistic fantasy, he will start disintegrating and
turning into a flock of birds, we draw many of them,
in different positions and distances.
The ones that are further away, should be lighter.
Right now, I´m sketching them, later I´ll come back to give them
more color and intensity.
This is really fun!
I love doing this!
Some more over here, I want them to stretch
all the way to the left… like this.
Good!
Now we delineate the wing with a blue marker,
and then… we give it a tone, in different directions to
make it more even, if you go over it again,
you can give it some shadows.
Now let´s switch back to the, how I say it?…
the regular color pencils and with this, do the feathers.
To achieve the result, we use different hues,
like light blue, dark blue, greenish blue, etc.
And now, back to the marker to give the texture
of the suit, we make some small triangles
facing down, and then with a blue pencil,
others facing up, and then with a light brown,
we do the same on the helmet.
Very good!
I like it how it is looking!
With a dark red, we do a first layer for the lips,
later we will add some pink.
With purple, we do the shadows and with browns and beige, the face.
We can do an even base color with the markers, and then
add shades with the color pencils.
The markers don´t hold on the color pencils as there are
greasy, and that is why, we apply them first.
I decided that the birds will also come out of his face...
his header.
This time I didn´t have a defined idea when I started
drawing, it´s like it is telling its own story, as we go on.
We give it the last details, … and it´s ready!
