Hello my friends and welcome to another Tuesday of tutorial!
I am Leonardo Pereznieto and today I want to test a light effect,
so first I will make a quick sketch of a face of a girl, and on this one
I will try out the effect.
Let’s see if it works.
I´ll begin by drawing the hairline
the shape of the hair, actually.
This is a way which I sometimes like to follow when sketching.
I will use just two colors: a black for the shading, which
is this one, and a light aqua for the lights.
Good!
Let’s do the eyebrows
one here, thinner at the outer edge
and the other one,
the hair will be a little bit closer, and the eye.
As I said, this is going to be a very rapid sketch to test the colors
to test the effect of the light, actually.
If I like it, then I will use it for a more elaborated and finished drawing.
Let’s do the jaw and the chin, a bit more hair over here
just on one side, the hair on the other side will be falling behind her body.
And let’s do a little bit of shading. As you see I’m drawing on a dark
gray paper, which automatically gives me the middle tones.
Middle actually darkish, and on that we can do even darker shading
with the black
and then if we add a light color, like this nice aqua, it should contrast
nicely, that’s the plan at least [laughter].
I am considering the light source to be on the right
so just the surfaces that are facing the right, will be getting
this light treatment.
I love finding and experimenting with some new effects or techniques
it is exciting!
especially thinking that they can be used for future bigger creations
and let’s add some more shading to the hair.
I learnt this technique from Bulgarian artist and illustrator Angel Ganev.
I think a key point to get this effect is to not overuse the light, we should
use this powerful lighting sparingly just in a few select spots.
The list of materials that I am using, is in the description below the video.
Let’s add some touches of light to the hair.
By the way did you know that you can help me
translating the subtitles of these tutorials to your language?
It is fun and easy, it will be much appreciated by me
and by the artists in your country who want to learn from them.
The instructions are also in the description below the video.
Thanks in advance
… the final touches
and its ready!
