Hello my friends and welcome! to another Tuesday of tutorial.
I am Leonardo Pereznieto and I am very happy because I´m doing
a collaboration with my good friend, the great artist Marcello Barenghi.
In this tutorial I will be drawing his eye and meanwhile his doing
a video in which his drawing my eye.
To watch his drawing and video, please click in the link below or the link
I will provide at the end of this tutorial.
Enjoy it!
We begin by drawing a slightly tilted line, then the lower eyelid,
the upper one and the pupil.
This, as you know is round but, it doesn´t need to be perfect,
you can do it by hand, like this.
Good!
We sketch the upper part on the eyelid, which Marcello
has it, more or less like so… and the eyebrow.
We do a little bit of more detail and we can start coloring.
On the iris, they will be a reflection of a window, and it also will have
its own texture, and on the pupil will be the reflection of the person
taking the picture.
The color of the pupil of course is black but here, it will have also
some reflections and different tonalities.
Through the window I want to be able to see some buildings, and a little bit lower
over here, Marcello´s easel in his studio.
Very good!
Over here in the pupil, the person and we darken it a bit.
Generally the iris is a little bit darker closer to the pupil
as well as on the outer edge a little bit like a ring.
With little stripes, and of course everyone has its own pattern,
with different shapes and colors Marcello has them hazel brown
by the way, you may reflect the eyelashes here and these
can look very good!
Let´s not forget the capillary which we do them with red
and they give them realism to the drawing,
we continue darkening specially as I told you before, closer
to the pupil.
With pencils violet, gray and white, we can begin
making the white section of the eyes… and which
by the way, it is never totally white, at least because its owns shades.
We do the lacrimal with pink and red, leaving some smalls reflections.
Very good! I like it so far.
To give it more volume, we need to increase the intensity of the shade,
we may use some black, but with caution because it can make
it look a little dirty.
And, of course, we use different tints of pink.
In order to render the eyelashes may sure your pencil is really sharp.
If you think that this drawing is coming more or less nice, wait to see
Marcello´s! His drawing is spectacular.
In fact you would´t believe it, if you don´t see it.
I feel really blessed that he draw my eye.
We set many small white reflections, to render the texture of the skin
In the shadows I am adding an alizarin crimson, that is a red
that tends toward the violet.
Good!
I think this eye is looking at you! [laughs].
The eyebrow of course should´t be solid, that is why we work it by
doing a series of thin lines.
We continue giving different hues in shadows.
Doing the is such a pleasure, drawing is fascinating!
The lights source in this case comes from the upper left
therefore, all the surfaces facing that should be lighter.
While all the ones facing the opposite side, such as the lower
right of the bottom eyelid, should be darker.
To end the drawing let´s give it an artistic touch, let´s have him look
through a hole in a piece of paper.
We do the last touches, little tears in the paper,
and it´s ready!
