Hello my friends and welcome to another Tuesday of tutorial!
I am Leonardo Pereznieto and I´m so glad to see you again.
Some people have been asking me how they can help support this channel.
I want to let you know that YouTube just released a new
function called find funding with which people will be able
to do donations to the channels they love.
You may go to Fine Art-Tips main page on YouTube
with the link below the video and then to the right to
the screen you will see this blue button that says support,
if you click it, this other window opens, you may choose to
donate one dollar, five dollars or any other amount up to fifty dollars,
per person, per day.
If you are in a country other than U.S. this will appear
in your local currency.
This system is not yet working in all the countries,
I know for sure it is working in the U.S., Mexico, Japan
and Australia.
More will be added soon. We click down here, and this
opens the next window, the payment is done through
Google wallet which makes it a safe operation, it is a sponsorship
to Fine Art -Tips, and it says pay to "MiTu", which is the network
I am part of.
Select the payment method, accept and it´s ready.
If you want to and can make a donation I will be
gratefully thankful, but if you don´t, don´t worry I´ll
continue making the best tutorials I can, every Tuesday.
And today we will draw a Swarovski crystal bear.
I hope you like it.
We begin by sketching the general shape of the body, with lose strokes.
Then I draw the head, the snout, and we give it
a little bit more detail, the legs… very good!
Let´s correct the face and make the eyes, ears, etc.
And then continue with the paws.
I think this leg ended up a little bit longer, let´s do it better.
With the lower part, more or less like this.
When we are happy with the overall general shape,
we can start doing smaller and smaller parts.
I do not recommend doing detail from the beginning
because then you may find that the overall shape
was wrong and you have to erase all your work.
With the kneaded eraser or with any other eraser
we can clean up the lines that we are not going to use.
Having the correct outline the first thing that we are
going to do is to bring some lights.
I´m using a dry pastel pencil, so it is like chalk.
I will do the rest of the drawing with color pencils.
But as this pastel doesn´t hold on the oily surface that they leave
we need to get this in, first.
Ok, now we begin using the color pencils, starting
with the black.
We use it to draw the nose, the eyes, and some dark reflections.
Drawing crystal is very fun!
And to achieve a realistic shimmering effect, one needs
to lay in real lights with a bright white and very darks.
The white of the color pencil set, is not as bright, is the one that
I am using here to do some light tones, but not as brilliant
as those I made with the pastel.
This figure will have a lot of facets and cuts.
With many reflections.
We can achieve them with different tones of gray, some
lighter and some darker as well as with the white
and with the black.
Here we draw some squares and triangles with a light gray.
If you are copying this, you don´t need to do it identical,
you can create your own shapes.
And down here we set in some darker ones.
I like it how it is looking, how it is taking shape,
and life of itself.
The list of materials is in the description of the video.
Let´s go onto the last area.
We should also use other colors, such as a light blue
and things like that, so that not everything looks gray.
It is important to also draw reflections and some shadows
on the surface.
We give it the last touches … and it will be ready!
If you enjoyed it, please give it a LIKE, share it to your friends,
and subscribe to Fine Art-Tips, if you wish you may donate [smiles]
and I will see you, on Tuesday :)
