eye drawing

Hi!
Unfortunately, I was once again caught up with everyday life. In the University this semester it comes forth high and I do not have so much time to draw as I had hoped for that. But my project is not on hold. I continue to post my drawings, but not daily.


Today, at least I have an eye tutorial...

What have you drawn last?

See you soon, your Daniela

The drawing in 3 steps 

If you like to do tutorials too, on youtube are many of them. This one for example is from "proko". Maybe I will do a tutorial for you guys sometimes.

Waterdrop

I tried to draw a waterdrop on normal paper with pencil and pastel chalk. But the white hightlights become not white enough. So I added them with tip ex. It's better to draw on colored paper because since the Pastelfarbe adheres better. So maybe next time I will try other paper.

6/10/2013 How to draw the nose

Wow! Over 2044 clicks! Thanks for reading my blog. I would really be glad to read some comments! If you like to know about a specific art topic or if you have an idea of what I should draw - tell me! :D

Two days ago I've done some excercises on how to draw a nose :)

7/10/13 How to draw a male face

Today I've done  a tutorial on how to draw a male face with pencil. I mean I know how to draw a face, but sometimes I think it's good to do some drawing tutorials to look how other people draw things. Maybe you get new ideas or details from them.

I think he looks a little bit like Ken from Barbie ;) Maybe he has a cousine... *g

Yesterday I told you that you can draw a face with different techniques. Here is another one:

1) draw the main lines (for that it's good to look in anatomy books)

2) Lighten up the lines with a Kneaded eraser. Draw the eyes, nose and little details.

3) Add more details, light and shadow. Draw hair. Finish (first pic).

5/10/13 Face of a Woman

I think one of the hardest things that can be drawn are people.
So today I painted a woman's face for practice (with pencil HB and 2B).

Tips for beginners:
If you don't know how to draw a face, there are different possibilities to do so.
For example you can choose a photo of a person you like and you can grope box to you based on the technology of grid boxes. Here is a link from the page "weltbild.de" http://www.weltbild.de/vpg/txt/pdf/zeichnen_3_rastertechnik-1003581.pdf
It's in german. If you need help write me.

Today I made ​​a study and observed how light and shadow behave on a woman's head :).

30/9/13 Light and shadow

Hi :)
Today I sketched in a few quick minutes a part of my scarve.

It has occurred me that I can give you a few tips on how you can improve your technique.

Practice, practice, practice...

It is important to make studies of light and shadow on every thing you can see and at different times of the day. Shadows in daylight at noon looks different than in the evening at sunset or under an electric lamp at home. I think it is very significant for an artist to watch. Watch at every detail, movement, light, shadow,... . For example if I tell you to draw a bicycle now (without a pic). Do you know what parts exactly is a bicycle consisting of and how the rods are running? If not than try to focus on sutch things when you go to work or when you are waiting for the bus.

The sketches don't have to be beautiful and you need not to spend a lot of time on it. My drawing up took less than 10 minutes.

Returning to how to draw light and shadow:
If you are a beginner, then you first take simple objects. Styrofoam balls or dignities, pyramids, ... and they alternate with a lamp. Then watch the same subject under different light sources (and under more than one light source) and at different times of the day. And with time you increase to more difficult things. These exercises are perhaps not always so much fun, but just so that you can steadily improve yourself. Even experienced singers always do vocal exercises. So we should also keep it so ;)

Everyday a little step...
