Hello my friends and welcome to another Tuesday of tutorial!
I am Leonardo Pereznieto and I'm very very happy because my new book,
thanks to your help, has hit the best-seller list of Amazon.
This week we will be giving away 5 signed copies of it, to participate just follow
the instructions that I will give during this tutorial :)
The book begins with a description of the basics of drawing,
including the materials and how to use them.
The correct way to hold the pencil to give different effects....
how to mix colors, how to shade with pencil and with pen,
and then from that it goes to a wonderful series of projects
and shows, step by step how realistically render
different surfaces and textures.
Today we will take a fairly simple one, which is how
to draw a crystal sphere, with pencil.
Very good! Let´s begin!
The first thing we do is to give a tone to the paper,
using the graphite powder, that I keep when sharpening
my leds.
First we test it on a scrap piece of paper, before we use it
on the good one, also to get rid of the excess graphite.
I'm applying it with a chamois.
And in this way, we give a tone to the paper.
And then using a glass of water we draw a circle, you can also
do it with a compass.
We mark lightly were some of the shadows and lights will go.
Here will be the reflection of a window, we can do this with the kneaded eraser,
or with an eraser with fine tip.
The list of materials is in the information below the video.
And now with a led holder or a pencil with a hard led,
a 2H, we begin to shade.
In regards to the raffle for the books, I actually made a mistake, we will
not give 5, we will give away 10 books, in 2 raffles… one on Facebook and one
on Instagram, 5 books on each one.
It is very easy to participate!
You just need to go to Fine Art-Tips Facebook page, share the photo of the cover of the book
that I have there, and after sharing, write a comment such as ¨I want this
book¨ or something like that, whatever you want.
We will raffle 5 signed copies of the book among the people
who share the post.
The other raffle will take place on Instagram, so visit
my wall, my account´s name on Instagram is artistleonardo
and to participate, simply give a LIKE and comment
on the picture of the cover of the book.
The time to participate is from today Tuesday 27th and
will end this Friday, the 30th of October 2015.
The winners of both raffles, will be announced this Saturday
on Fine Art-Tips page on Facebook.
I wish you the best of lucks and I want to thank you
for helping me recommend this artistic book.
Coming back to the drawing as you saw, we give it
a light shading with the pencil following the shape of the sphere and we pull lights
simply erasing the graphite, that we put on original, as we have a gray tone
on all the surface, when we recover the white of the paper
with an eraser, this looks very bright!
By the way don´t forget that you can still participate on the raffle
that we launched last week in which you may win one of the
original drawings, contained in the book.
To participate, buy a copy of the book on pre-sale on Amazon,
this needs to be by the end of the 2nd of November, because on the
3rd the book will be released, and send a copy of the receipt
by email to: YouCanDraw@sohopub.com
We reinforce some shades and the shadows lightly.
When you are using this drawing technique it is very
important that you don´t touch the paper with your hand,
that is why I´m using another paper as protection.
We give it the last touches … and it´s ready!
If you enjoyed it, please give it a LIKE, share it to
your friends and subscribe to Fine Art-Tips.
