Hello my friends and welcome to another Tuesday of tutorial!
I am Leonardo Pereznieto and today we will draw a cockatiel.
Today we will be using this nice Winsor & Newton pigment markers.
But first I´ll do the sketch with the Tutto3 mechanical pencil.
We begin setting the action line for the bird, then sketching the
head and the body.
Including the width, and on this side the hooked beak, curving down
of course.
His tall crest, and the eye.
Here will be the wings.
So is like he is going to looking back…
the tail and the feet.
Let´s go over and refine the line.
Good!
And now with a kneaded eraser I lighten the pencil sketch,
because I don´t want it to smear when applying the markers.
Very good!
¡Excelente!
They have two tips, one is wider and one is finer and more like
a brush which is the one that will be using.
We apply some of the color on another piece of paper.
Not directly on our drawing because I don´t want it to be so intense.
Then with the white blender, we pick up some of that color
and apply it on the bird.
In this way it is a lot fainter or thinner.
In this set come two blenders, one is transparent which simply
helps smudging the color and the other one is white
so it smudges and lightens.
We can apply some gray lines and then we smudge it.
In this way we may achieve effects as if you were painting.
We apply some orange to the other paper and we pick it up over here.
To make this sort of blush, so typical of the cockatiel.
We smudge the edges, to make it more realistic.
And now with the darker gray, we fill in the eye leaving a small white reflection.
With a medium gray we do the outline of the beak
and we smudge it with the white blender.
To give a tone to the rest of it and to make it a little lighter.
We add some color and smudge it.
Good!
Since the pigment of these markers can be blended, mixed and smudged
it feels more like painting than drawing with markers.
Also this pigment is artist quality so they say that in gallery lighting
conditions, it lasts a hundred years.
And no, I wasn´t pay to say all this.
They simply sent them to me to try them… but I liked them
and I am happy to recommend them.
And the good news is that we will raffle a set, just like the one
I´m using, so that you will have the opportunity to win it.
All you have to do to participate is go to Fine Art-Tips Facebook page
and leave a comment on this video saying that you want the Winsor
& Newton pigment markers, or something like that.
The raffle will end this Friday 30th of September, and the winner will
be announced on Saturday the 1st. on Facebook.
Or at least I hope so [laughter] Because on that day I'll travel to South Korea
and the flight takes about 21 hours, so maybe I end up announcing the winner
the next day or the following, please be patience with me.
By the way I was invited to appear in a TV program to show the beauty
of the Korean land, and I will show you some of that soon.
We also lighten the pink of the feet with the white blender.
As you saw for the feathers of the body I used grays of different tonalities,
and I smudge them.
