Hello my friends and welcome to another Tuesday of tutorial!
I am Leonardo Pereznieto
and today we will draw a golden rose
with color pencils.
And I want to thank our sponsor Apealz.
First, with a bright yellow, we draw the outline of the rose.
I am drawing on gray toned cardboard,
I hope you can see this sketch because the pencil is very light and on the gray, it doesn't show too much.
Then with a yellow pigment marker I give a base to the whole thing
a flat layer.
This will make the color pencils look better.
This yellow on the gray looks greenish
but that's ok, I will modify the color with the pencils.
We can also indicate with an orange marker where some reflections will go.
And we may delineate some of the shapes with the grey,
not all of them of course, just where we want a dark reflection.
And there is no rule where to place them,
we will draw them where they help us show the shapes,
and here and there for decoration [laughter].
The list of materials is in the information below the video.
Now with a very light yellow, let's do some of the light reflections.
We can do this on some edges and some surfaces facing us.
Of course by varying the pressure we can modify the intensity of these lights.
Now I switch to one that is slightly less light,
it is more creamy,
with this I will fill in a lot of the areas,
because we don't want the rose to look green as it is right now.
Keep in mind that if we don't push it very hard right now,
it will then be easier to lay other colors on top, and mix them...
like here this more orangey one.
It is best to apply them at first lightly
and then in subsequent layers
you push more and more,
until you do burnishing,
which is the fact of pushing the pencil fairly hard
so as to get the color in completely in the paper,
so that the paper texture doesn't show and the color looks more even.
Now allow me to tell you a few words about Apealz,
while we continue drawing.
As you probably know Apealz are fabric skins that you can remove and reuse,
I already ordered mines...
for my studio,
my phone
and even for my car,
to promote my website.
They are beautiful!

Ok, good!
Now let's draw one more petal.
I felt something was missing on this side.
We draw the shape and the dark reflections first
in this case,
and then we add some color and some of the bright reflections.
Now to make it shine even more let's add some little touches
with a white pigment pen.
This is truly one of those pens to make corrections.
Good and we may add some white with the pencil, so that the change is not so drastic
[laughter].
All right!
now we can leave it like this, or we can do a crazy experiment that may ruin the whole thing
[laughter]
so as to try to create a perspective and contrast,
so we sketched some lines in perspective and then we carefully cut them,
carefully, do not cut the rose.
And if you made it all the way to this point,
I would love to know it!
Please in the comments write me the secret code: "The Golden Rose".
And we will place it on a surface of a darker gray,
to see how it looks.
It's ready!
