Hello my friends and welcome to another Tuesday of tutorial!
I am Leonardo Pereznieto and today we will draw a tree.
First we place a line for the ground.
We begin the tree from the bottom part of the trunk.. the roots and up to the branches.
Remember that this, rarely have curved lines, they are mostly straight lines, that change direction.
Trees of course can have an unlimited number of shapes.
Alright!
The sketch I have been doing it with an "HB" lead, which is a medium…
now I switch to a softer one, a "B" which in this case is also wider
for the dark shading.
I love my ¨Tutto3¨ mechanical pencil! because it has really, all I need for drawing.
I do the shading with strokes that are perpendicular to the branches.
Like wrapping them, not along the branches, because I think this look better.
And we start doing some of the leaves.
But I come back to the trunk because it was looking too plain
like a tube, so I draw some knots on it.
Some texture… some shapes… to make it look more realistic.
More like a tree.
The leaves are not uniform through all the tree, of course,
but rather, they accumulate like in bunches.
And these bunches behave in a way that is similar to objects
in regards to the lighting, that is, they have a side usually
the top with more light and the bottom with shadow.
In a drawing it can look good when in between the leaves
you can see a little bit of the branch.
I did not have in mind exactly what was I going to do with
this tree when started the drawing.
It is more as it is evolving as we go.
For example here, there was too big of an empty space,
so we did another branch with the leaves.
And now, we will give some tone to the ground.
By the way I am very excited because we are doing very well
on the launch on the mechanical pencil if you want a wonderful ¨Tutto3¨
you are still on time to order one on pre-sale.
You may use the link that is below the video.
Remember that this campaign will help us, also, to open the galleries
to represent emerging artists.
So please also help me sharing this campaign, if you like
by visiting the ¨Tutto3¨ page and sharing it on Facebook
or other social media.
Thank you very much!
We drew a horizon line (going back to the drawing), using a hard lead
and now we switch to a softer one again, to do shades.
I lighten some spots on the shadow because I don't want it all even
but rather with changes, like the shadows of leaves of trees.
I make another branch here because the one that i had
that extends to the right looked a little bit to strange to
tell you the truth. So I do this other one with more twists
and that will go over the other one a little bit, with some leaves.
I think it is looking better now, don´t you think?
Before ending we will do some more leaves over here
and other ones over here.
Good!
Please do not forget to visit the campaign of the ¨Tutto3¨ … the last touches
and it´s ready!
