Hello my friends and welcome to another Tuesday of tutorial!
I am Leonardo Pereznieto and today I will take on the challenge
of drawing with three markers.
I wanted to draw with three Sharpies of different colors but I couldn’t find
the yellow so it will be two Sharpies and a different one, that’s all right!
I hope you enjoy it!
I´ll begin marking where the beak begins and ends, this is the width
and then will curve and arrive, the tip will be over here.
For this challenge of the markers, I will only be using the three markers.
So not sketch with pencil or anything, that’s the real challenge! that any mistakes
cannot be undone.
I chose a dark grey and not black because I think if I go over a few times
I can darken some areas and therefore have some a little lighter and so create
different tones…
while the black, well it´s just black!
This area of the face is very light but it has some dark stripes,
like this.
And the eye should go here, very good!
I go over the dark areas of the beak as I told you, and now
with this nice blue, let’s do some of the head.
I don’t do it flat but I´ll try to show the feathers.
And now I´ll grab the yellow and do the chest area
that has this color, as well as some up here on the head and neck.
Allright!
Another aspect of the challenge of using these markers aside of
the fact that they don’t erase, is that they don’t really blend with each other
but I will try to mix them a little bit,
by adding one layer on another.
I sketched the feathers on the wing and then I go over them with the blue
so the original line has now two layers and that is how we can see them.
By adding blue on the yellow, we created some green
and I added it also on the beak trying to make it darker but of course
I will go ver it again with grey, so it doesn’t look blue.
I use little dots to create texture and shadow to the face area which
has no feathers
and I´ll go over the beak with this and then over to the areas
that I already drew trying to create the feathers´ shape or the feathers´ feeling,
although this is hard with these markers, that’s the big challenge!
Now let’s try it on the yellow also.
Let’s see if we can create some layers
of feathers.
The macaws are beautiful birds! as you know, they live in South, Central
and North America but in North America only in Mexico!
They like tropical forests!
Sadly, they are an endangered species because of the destruction of their habitat
and by illegal trafficking.
We do the other wing, first with grey and then with blue.
I think that worked pretty well actually!
And let’s draw some more feathers here on the edge,
like so.
These guys have so much personality! they are great! it´s a pleasure to draw them.
And they are pretty intelligent too.
Let’s give it the last touches...
the last details, and its ready!
Let me know what do you think about the challenge,
