Hello my friends and welcome to another Tuesday of tutorial!
I am Leonardo Pereznieto and today we will experiment, a simple
technique for a 3D effect… with a jumping fish.
First we draw the fish as normally, flat.
The body with the fins, the tail, the eye, the gills from where
they breath, and I switch lead in my Tutto3 mechanical pencil
for a harder one for the rest of the sketch.
The water ripples here…
and now let´s draw the piece of paper.
I was going to do this by hand, but there is a great invention to make
lines straight, so let´s use it!
[Laughter]
Basically, I will draw a surface, which will be the piece of paper,
in perspective.
Like so.
Good.
So, we will be looking at the fish straight on, but the paper will
be in perspective.
This should make the fish pop out.
And additionally by the end we will cut the paper, so it will
seem like the fish is jumping out of it.
And let´s draw the scales.
We will first outline them and then, we will shade.
By the way, I´m not sure if you like listening to podcasts
there is so much good information in some of them, that I have become
a bit addicted [laughter]
often I listen to one of them while I am drawing,
to learn something new. And I just found a new one
which immediately became my favorite…
because it is all about the future of art, and the intersection
between art and technology.
It´s very interesting!
The name of the podcast is ¨State of the Art¨
It is totally free of course and you can find it on iTunes.
If you have some other art related podcast that you like a lot
please let me know in the comments, I am always interested in learning.
Ok, good!
So we drew the fish, and now inside of the surface
that we outlined in perspective, let´s draw the water.
Some ripples… here
and I will draw some waves on this other side
some little waves
like so.
Good!
I like it how it is looking already.
I smudge with a chamois
and then draw some droplets.
I smudged because I want all that surface to have a tone
and not to be totally white, so that the whites of the fish
will stand out.
All the water should be on gray tones, while the fish
should be much more contrasting.
Ok, we are nearly there. I just darken a little bit more,
and now I will cut the paper with scissors.
Right on the line that we made.
like this.
And I will speed out the shot because I think this is not
very fun to watch [laughter].
Once I put it down, we will be looking at it
straight from above,
but it may look like we are looking at it from the side,
because of the shape of the paper.
Let´s try it on a blue background
and see how it looks.
Ok good!
¡Excelente!
And I will just lift the corner of the paper.
It´s ready!
Please let me know what do you think. And if you enjoy it
please give it a LIKE!
