Hello my friends and welcome to another Tuesday of tutorial.
I am Leonardo Pereznieto and today we will draw a hummingbird.
With lose strokes, let´s start by sketching an oval
for the general shape of the body.
Then the neck and another oval slightly smaller at one end
for the head.
And here the tail...
Very good!
Now we can define the forms a little bit better,
like this.
Very good!
Now, the very long beak.
I love hummingbirds...
...and the eye.
Now the wings up here.
Good!
We are ready to start coloring.
I´ll begin this by doing a base with blue and green markers.
Although this is not totally essential.
If you don´t have markers we can go on directly with the pencils.
Now with the black prismacolor let´s do the eye, generally
I like doing the eyes earlier as it gives personality to the drawing.
If you want you can outline some of the feathers
with a very thin marker.
If not, you can go on and just do the feathers with pencil
like this.
I use a light blue first.
Outline the eye, and then the beak, with orange,
purple for the shadow and beige.
Good!
Now let´s go on with different tones of blue and green feathers.
Some light gray on the back may look very good.
And on this side use some dark blue because it will be in shadow.
Good! And below, some very light blues.
Excellent!
I love drawing so much.
Outline the tail with some dark gray.
And then... fill it in.
Each of these feathers can be divided in half.
The list of materials is in the information below the video.
Very good! Nice.
I like it.
In regards to the wings, I don´t want to make them solid
because I want to make them seem in movement, therefore I leave them
a little bit transparent and a little bit blurred.
I like it!
Good!
Now, this bird looks hungry, let´s make some lunch...
... a delicious red flower.
Looks really juicy [laughs].
Now it´s happy!
Let´s do some last reflections... and it´s ready!
