Hello my friends and welcome to another Tuesday of tutorial!
I am Leonardo Pereznieto and today we will draw
two beautiful Calla Lilies.
First we draw the general shape with a pencil and then
we do more detail.
I am drawing on thick paper because I am going to cut
these lilies and use them as templates.
We do the leaves... and then the stem.
Let´s do this other one in profile.
In my opinion this is one of the most beautiful and elegant flowers.
As I mentioned to you, now we will cut them.
Very well, excellent!
Now we tone the background with a charcoal pencil,
and then we smudge it with a chamois.
Let´s be careful to hold it tight so it doesn´t move.
And then the other one.
This is a very good way of toning the paper leaving white where the lilies will go.
Great!
Now I will further tone the farther areas.
You can repeat this process until you achieve the intensity you want.
To smudge I use circular movements.
Erase any needed spots and then I fix the background
so it doesn´t smudge anymore.
I didn´t put it on this shot it was fake...
What happenes is that this smells a lot so I did it outside.
Even if it is fixed I still use a white piece of paper to rest
my hand.
And so do the details.
I will shade the flower with pencil, not with charcoal
the pencil is lighter and I think is more appropriate for this.
For something really dark I would use the charcoal.
I like it! Let´s do the other one.
With the pencil we can also refine the shape as needed.
And with a stump we can smoothen the pencil, if we wish so.
I want to use this occasion to wish you a fantastic year
full of creations and success.
Very good it´s almost ready, if you enjoyed this video
