Hello my friends, and welcome to another Tuesday of tutorial!
I am Leonardo Pereznieto and I am very very happy
because today, my new book finally going to release :)
If you already pre-order it, probably it´s on its way home.
And just in case you haven´t yet, I'm adding the link below
the video. Today we will draw, a rose in a glass of water.
I hope you enjoy it.
We begin by doing the glass, this will be the bottom part
this the top, then the sides, this oval is for the base and this for the upper part.
The oval you see in the middle, indicates the level of the water.
I am using a white pencil, as you can see, on blue paper.
Let´s sketch the stem of the rose… and the rose up here.
Good!
And here the shadow.
Allright.
We refine the line, using the white pencil and the eraser, as need it.
With a red pencil or with pink, we can sketch the flower.
Petal by petal, from the center going outwards.
Like this.
We use a green pencil for the stem and for the leaves.
On this side let´s draw a bud.
This composition will have more elements than what I normally
do for a tutorial.
The first layer of color we do it pretty light, because otherwise, following
layers of color tend to not hold very well.
To mix colors then, the first ones we apply them pretty lightly, like here.
And then in subsecuence layers we can apply more and more pressure.
Since the paper I am using is a little bit of a dark blue,
if I were to lay in the red directly on it, it would be dark
and pretty dull. That is why I first lay in a white base,
in this way it will be pretty bright and intense, as we want it.
As you can see, I´m using different tonalities of red,
burgundy, orange, peach, pink, etc. on the white, to achieve the
gamma of colors that I want.
In case, this drawing wasn´t complicated enough already [laughs]
I am now drawing some squares on the glass.
I like having fun with it.
I like it when the drawing is a challenge.
With a gray or a blue, or even with a white, we shape
the squares of the glass.
With the green we do the stem, but not in a solid way.
In the area that is behind the glass.
Because it gets distorted.
We draw more reflections on it, and here will be the water level.
I like it how it is looking!
Of course in the book, you will be able to see every step
with pictures and symbol explanations of the whole
process, of this drawing.
The projected light produced by the magnifying glass
effect of the glass and water, will be pretty intense.
Lets´do the leaves, for this we basically use
two tonalities of green, so they have shadow... and lights [laughs]
Here we draw some fallen petals, with the same technique as we
did the ones on the rose.
I want a strong luminosity effect.
Some more reflections, and to end, let´s draw some water
drops on the rose.
The last details, and it´s ready!
