Hello my friends and welcome to another Tuesday of tutorial.
I am Leonardo Pereznieto and today’s tutorial will be in a slightly different format:
Normally I shoot the whole video which can take me from 2 to 4 hours
to complete the drawing, and then I speed it up a lot!
so you cannot see it in detail
today the drawing is mostly already done, but I will show you
a specific effect in real time so you can see it better.
The effect is a light effect that actually we already did a couple of weeks ago
and which I asked to do more of it, and to explain it better.
So, here it is for you.
Our light source will be actually a reflected light, coming form the right
and a bit low. So we will paint the surfaces that are facing to the right and to the water.
For this I’m using the light aqua from the Prismacolor Premier colors.
I thought this could could go well as a reflected light effect
since it is a fresh and luminous blueish green.
I’m just applying it by the edge
I’m not going in with it very far…
not too much at least
only in a few spots
and part of the effect that I wish to convey of this reflected light
is also created because it will be the only color
the rest is done in black and white with the graphite.
Let’s also give some light touches to the fingers…
…to the tips
and now to some of the feathers of the bird.
Of course only to the feathers that are facing to the right
and low... like this edge over here,
the lower part of the head,
and this wing which is squarely facing the direction from where the light is coming.
Like so.
Very good!
Also this surface over here
and this one, this cheek.
I think I didn’t mention it earlier but I am working on a gray cardboard paper
which is not specifically for drawing,
it is more like the ones used when framing a work of Art.
The list of materials is as always, in the description below the video.
On this area we can apply it lighter
and as was saying we are drawing on gray paper, toned paper
that is very important in order to achieve this effect, because if the paper
were white, the light aqua would be darker than it and therefore, it would not look
like a light very much!
I mean it does not necesarilly has to be gray, the paper or the surface
you draw on, simply has to be toned
and if you want the light to shine, it should be toned darker than the color
you are using.
I´ll extend this light on the falcon just a little bit more.
Please let me know if you enjoyed this format of the tutorial in which
we just go over one technique or effect more in detail
and not so sped up or not, so that I do a few more tutorials
like this.
Not always! just every few weeks.
And if so, in the comments let me know which technique or effect
would you like to see.
Very good!
¡Excelente!
[Laughter].
We give it the last touches…
and it´s ready!
If you enjoyed it, please give it a LIKE!

And I will see you on Tuesday :)
