How to Create Mind-Blowing Drawing Pieces

1. Introduction to the Class: Hi everyone. I'm treating digital artist and committing ago. I've been doing for many, many, many years, doing several things. These all these other things you can see on the wall. Drawing is one of them. My patient. This class, we're going to learn a whole to do this. We're going to hold to draw basically on papers. Okay? Because barrier is nice. You can touch it, you can see it's in everything. The good thing with papers is that you don't have, of course you will need to use it after, but you don't have to stay all day long in front of dollar. You can draw basically everywhere in your bed on your best of the nature of on the patch, whatever you want. In this class, we learn the whole to create mind-blowing and huge drawings out of smaller pieces. Like these ones. This one's, this one's a, this one's, and so on and so forth. We learn how to work efficiently, how to structure your initial ideas. Of course, you can think about whatever you want, but it's good to prove things on paper first and to think how to draw it, memorize it, and how to make it there. In order to work in this class, we're going to need several tools. First, we're going to need pencils in order to sketch and to do the drafts of our drawings. Secondly, we're going to need pens 0.05 to 0.5 millimeters to draw the details of the joints. Then we're going to need rubber so we can erase In part we don't want from the sketch. We will need markers to color and fill up the drawings. We're going to need a light table to be able to see clearly the details and also to be able to draw during the night graphic panel to work on graphic design software. On the left up. Then, of course we need a laptop to work digitally on our drawing. In order to memorize the drinks. We're gonna need a scanner. Will work digitally at the last spot so that you can derive your drinks not only in two posters, but also in wherever you want, T-shirts, caps, skip the boards wherever. This part is the last part of the class and has not that much process, but still, it's interesting to see what you can do with your drain afterwards. Take a cup of coffee, cigarettes, you smoke. Let's get started right now. 2. Part I Inspiration: Hi again. As you can see, we asked you in getting started and we are since his younger self, which is nice. That's needs me to the first creation process of this slide. The first thing you need to know about yourself and about the way you draw is to understand where it comes from. So let's start this class with my inspiration. So you can't always counseling to talk about my inspiration. The first thing we need to talk about is comics or mangoes or bond this unit, as we say in French. The main artist I'm going to mention are bent and Bill Smith who did coming slides in 30 Deaf Night. Or one would. Another artist that I like is actually wood pieces like ting girls, Zombie versus robots. In order. Artists that I really like is Frank Miller who's really famous for since CD. Batman ********. It's really contrasting black and white. Very interesting. In the French comics. Bond this in a, we have like authors like and keep the land who has been doing the comics Nico bull, dogs email ten. I'm also the LTS Coleman. Works like Louis Vuitton or veto pen. We have borne a really famous artists Jiangxi hub more abuse with works like Lanka or all the works of metal viola. Some more recent artists like mature, bubbly and libeled 619 with comics like carbon and CDC, Shangri-La and so on and so forth. Talking about the mangoes, I would say a chore order is the most important one of my inspiration with She's major work 12ths gets real tonal also with the really famous Akira or I owe me as a key with Nausicaa. Comics is not the only inspiration. We can also talk about books. I'm a huge fan of sci-fi books, with my favorite author being a London, as you French author. He's been writing saints fictions, Cyberpunk books like Laszlo and you do that you can provide if you're TIF. Philip K. **** is also a huge of the admire with Do Androids. Dream of Electric shape. You'll be Minority Report. We can also mention Greg Nelson from William Gibson, a lot of them film wise, my main inspiration will come with directors. So of course, we have Stanley Kubrick, Christopher Nolan's Dennis when Martin Scorsese Memorial, she gets real. I owe me as ICU again. Gi code. Yeah, Quentin Tarantino, gear, Richie Wes Anderson. All of these movies are greed and trances. So to help you get new ideas and new pictures ACT. And of course, because drawing is a long process, you can completely draw in silence, but I do prefer to do or in music. And my biggest inspiration in music comes with the January called post-hoc with bands like Godspeed, you block M pro, Russian circles, Caspian, Pelikan, Bosque, Liege, and older bends off more popular and generally like tool messy, better, edge 3d2 and called ditches shadow and so on and so forth. So before starting your drawings, I do advise you to download the huge playlist of your favorite artists. So it gives you the mood, puts you in the vibes and everything, and gives you a lot of ideas are, so that's it for my inspiration. Know the important thing for you is to understand where is your inspiration coming from? To take it, to take ideas from there. You don't need to draw out of the blue. And it's really risky. So I would recommend you to thin before drawing. So what am I? Why am I saying this? Because these sort of drawings don't come out of nowhere. Means which themes before, during this one? This one. Any other drawing? So the first very step, your creation process will be two, engage and to plan ahead. So because it's not easy to come up with this drawing. At first, at some point we see some strange brain mixing with CAN of painting with an altar radio and some sort of shocks. Anyway, Yani, it's a real mess. So we need to think ahead and to do so, I'm thinking about things that I write down on the list or on my Instagram that I sent to my wife, for example. Do this process like here. We can see what Zhongdu bigger than a leverage effect is. You get xy, which became after Amnesty is getting exceed our bottoms-up, which means pizza tree. Or Beller, which is a speaker flow. Mandela Kelly Garcia. So it's calligraphy, arabic man data. My quarterly phone, Christian house. Madame BWA, which means man with teeth in fingers. Anyway, you get the idea. Plan your ideas before even starting during them so you know where to go. Now that we have talked about inspiration, now that we have talked about the gears and tools we're going to use. Let's talk about what we're going to draw in this class. As I told you, we're going to draw cosmic tornado that blowups. Tours of living East coffee cup and cathode are all normal with some shrimps all along the way and scrambled pieces. Okay. This one comes from these periods font. I was not so really happy with this because it's solid look, kind of not really fixing anything else. What I wanted to do is to continue something above and to have the two drawing merging together. Let's get started. We started from this one, which is, by the way, assault of Mrs. universe with whom she has galaxies inside and some bubbles around with this one. And you're gonna see how it goes in this. 3. Part II Sketching: Now in this part, we're going to learn a whole to sketch, how to do a draft. By sketching, I'm taking the idea and the big picture of what you have in your mind on paper. We're going to draw this. Could it turn off the drawing? So as you can see down the paper, because we are drawing out of a pre-existing during which is Mrs. get xy. I start the new drawing by having the limitation of the previous one. So we're gonna start sketching from there. To sketch. We generally use pencils. It's pretty easy to work with. And you can see that we don't spend too much time with details as we mainly concentrate on the big picture. So I don't spend a lot of time focusing on details because what we want to have here is the major idea and the skeleton of the dream to come. Here you can see that we have been drawing the voltage outlines, the builds outline, and the Lebanese coffee could outline. After the first draft. When you are done with the main idea. We can continue by having more details and precising our sketches. And don't worry if you mess up your sketch or your draft because first we will draw, although the sketch later on. So he does not have to be super precise because basically will be covered by Inc. suddenly we will erase the remaining part of the draft. Wants the drawing and coloring process is done. So don't worry, make beat lines, draw the skeleton of the drawing. Have something really picture. What do you have in your mind under paper? From there, you'll be able to continue. 4. Part III Steps to Draw a Galactic Vortex: In this part, we will learn how to draw a galactic voltage. It does appear really difficult, but you're gonna see it's pretty easy. We're going to start from our sketch. I'll draft that gives us the main feature, as you can see. And we will see the different steps in drawing. Because I draw mainly in black and white contrast. Only use black ink pens. As the one that I mentioned in the introduction. The first step is to draw the outlines and the n lines of the joy. To do so. And to be as precise as possible, where we use thin pens from 0.05 millimeters to 0.1 millimeter. So we run the line, all of the draft. As you can see. We take our time to have a precise line. As you can see, we exclude every different shapes. The aim is to always close your line. As a loop. You can easily color the inside of it. After. Once we are happy with the inlines and the outlines, we can start filling up the space inside them. I personally prefer to go for a second round on the extremities of the line with a slightly bigger pen from Etsy. Is 0.1 millimeter to 0.5 million meters. So I make sure not to mess up with the boulder while coloring and filling up the space. After sir, having secure the borders. We are good to go and fill them up. Because we are drawing from the MRS galaxy drawing. We're going to take the same drawing process used to picture galaxies, planets, and stars. In the previous drawing, openness galaxy. We first sketch the rural version of galaxies, star clusters with cycles. We know where to work. Because we working from a different during the drawing process will be a bit different also, as you can see in the MRS galaxy during we have no line. Indeed, we tried to imitate the glowy, shiny story Luke of the galaxies. So we're gonna work with ducts. So we start from the inside to the outside with a fairly thin pen of 0.05 millimeters. We do only one after the other. Nco cold, not too close, not too far from each other. As we go further out from the center of the circle, we can use bigger pens from 0.1 millimeters and we start to compress the dots a bit more. In order to finish smoothly, cluster of stars, we will use a 0.3 millimeter pen and compress even more our dots till we almost get a compact black color. The aim is to fade into the black. Once we are done with it, we can finally fill up the remaining space with the Beagle black pen or as instance of the market. 5. Part IV Steps to Draw Scrabble People: In this part, we will draw an EQ trick, scrambled people. Well, these concept my sounds a bit weird, but you're gonna see it's really easy. First because I decided to drill them after my initial drafts. We will add them, sketching them. Not that we are not obliged to have a final draft at the beginning. I'm always upgrading my drawings, undergo. That's the beauty of it. Follow your feelings and your inspiration as you are getting further in your drawing. Then I was crumbling people. Draft. We have u, x and S and so on and so forth. Of course, you need to know a bit your alphabets, but now let's add some lighting. Once the draft is done, we do the same process. Again. We draw in lines, the outlines of the scrambled people and the lightings with a thin Ben. Secondly, the line thicker with a second round, with a bigger pen. We feel that the inside space, because the scrambled people are surrounded by black area, is better to keep them right? We don't color inside yet. Once done coloring, we have a better understanding of the composition. So we can then shade this crumbled people following a strict black and white concept. So in this concept, right equals white. So not drawing dark or shade area Ecoles black coloring. Even if it's the first time you do it, scrambled people, figures are pretty simple, pretty easy to follow. So we do the same process inside this troubled people, and we do their shades in black and the normal area. We don't do anything. We repeat the same process of coloring. Once we have the border of the shades, we could only inside, and that's it. 6. Part V Steps to Draw a Skateboarder Bulldog: In this part, we will draw a skateboarder bulldog. It's going to be a bit more difficult because it is an organic matter, leaving species, animal, human, whatever. It's not harmonious, it's not soft nor flat, no precise. So there is a lot more details in the shading. The first draft is the same process we go over the biggest details. So as you can see, I'm not good with the dogs. I saw just remove them and put sunglasses on it. Then we do the shading sketch. It's important to sketched the shade in advance so we know where our black spot will. Once we did this, we repeat the same process. So first step is inline outline borders. More precise, of course, because there is much more details and everything. The second step is again, the Saigon round of the shades with a thicker pen. The third step is the coloring of the shape. At the end, my bulldog looks like a bit of mutant cat, which has been drawn in acetyl or wherever. But let's pretend it's a bulldog doing skateboard. You don't really care if it looks like the way you imagine it at first, because basically it's going to be a small details in the overhaul drawing. So even though it's not as good as you weren't planning it, it doesn't really matter. 7. Part VI Steps to Draw a Tower of Lebanese Coffee Cups: In this part, we will learn how to draw a tour of live in his coffee cup. And also cathedral mammoth. All the other things of the drawings. Now it's time to draw the upper boarder of the drawing. And because the general shape is easy, we can do it's trades without having to really sketch the first draft. We draw the outlines. When we finished with the nature and role lines, we can precise our draft to get more details before inking with the pens. And do the details for the Lebanese coffee kept tower, and also for the cathedral mammoth. Once we are done with sketching, we can continue with the applying, which has much more detail and necessary and Greedo work and agreed at a time. Don't hesitate to help you from real life objects. As for instance, this real live in nice coffee cup. There is no shame helping you with examples. These parts, we will use the black and white technique used previously with the scrambled pupil and the skateboarder bulldozer. Attention is trick here because after having drawn the shade of the Lebanese coffee cup, we can see that the pattern of the curbs is both in the bright and dark area. So in order to create a nice effect, we will have the pattern white in the dark side and black and the right side. Which means that one part of the pattern is closed in black and the other side of the pattern is open in white. They do not connect together. This gives us a much more contrasty look. Once the outlines done, we're good to go with the cigarette thicker around m, the filling process. After getting used to the process, in general, you are free to go around as you wish and advanced where you want. So you can go for the mammoth cathedral, Even though you haven't finished the Lebanese coffee cup tower, you can go for the shrimps, you can go for the mechanic arms, the styles and everything. You don't have a step-by-step process to follow. Once you get use to the process. Attention when you fill up with marker, make sure to add an additional layer of paper below for the ink not to leave stains beneath your drawing. So for example, if you don't want your table to be full of marks of marker, put an additional layer of paper. That's it. You're good to go and good to continue the jury everywhere. So creating the same process. First, drawing the outlines, inlines, sagen to thicker them with the video pens. And third, to fill it up with Coda. Now we can see the final results of our drawing. Now that we have fine piece of drawing, we can merge this sheet of paper, the next one. Before we do so, we need to clean it and to memorize it. So we're going to use this big guy over here, which is a scanner. We're going to memorize the drink. We're going to turn this guy, cancel. 8. Part VII Steps to Make Photoshop Adjustments: In this part, we will digitally enhance our drawing and merge it with the MRS galaxy one. Not that we aren't obliged to work digitally. If you're drawing satisfies you as it is. It's a good thing. No need to go on the laptop. But it's still a good thing to numerous your drinks so you can use it any way you want. It gives us a greater variety of use. So let's get started. Let's first open our Mrs. galaxy drawing in Photoshop. As you can see, we already prepared the size of the file so it fits twice the size of an A3 drawing. You can change the size of your file, going to image and image size, and then you adjust it the way you want. First thing we need to do is to import all new drawing. We go to the folder we want and then we drag our file, tilt the Photoshop window. Not that we'll have two files because most scanner fit only a full papers. So we had to do two scans for an A3 paper. Once our file is imported, will have to rotate it going to the upper tab and to enter the 90-degree value to put the file in its right angle. We then drag it on top and proceed the same way with the sagen fight. As you can see, our two files are sort of matching together, but we can still clearly see that there are two separated scans. The next step will be to merge them together. To do so, we select each layer separately and erase with the eraser tool the junction line to make the merging smoother because the two scans are overlapped him we can erase one details without losing the drawing because it is still present on the layer beneath. This process makes the merging of the two scans Mitch better till the point we cannot see. It's a composition of two pictures. In order to really make sure your two scans are match perfectly, you can change the opacity properties of the top layer and click on multiply. Opacity moved. This will change the overlaying property of the layers so you can see the one under it. And then you can make sure that the two are perfectly adjusted. Once we are happy with the merging, we can group the layers together, select both layers and press Control. Cheap. Then we place are doing on top of the MRS galaxy one. Select the group and move it on top. I think all new drawing is a bit bigger than the missus, get x, y1. Then we go on the top bell and we click on the chain icon and then resize our group so it fits more to the older during size. Again, make sure your two drawings are fitting perfectly together. Play with the opacity property. Click on the multiply to have a view of the two drawing and make the adjustment needed either in size, place, rotation. Then we'll repeat the same process for the tutoring to blend smoothly. One with the old. Select the magic wand tool. Click on the white background. The MRS Galaxy Troy. As you can see, it's a bit darker. So we do these two, only select the white. So when we erase the white, we cannot erase the drawing which is not selected. We are good to go with the eraser tool. As you can see, only the white part is erased. We do the same process for the white background of the purchasing. This to continue to enhance. We then focus on small details. The two bubbles aren't really blending well. We select them with the rectangular marquee tool to exclude them from the corresponding layer. So any change made will only affect the bubbles and not the overhaul drawing. Then we transform them as we want to make them fit better. We have our enter your drawing. Now we will enhance its color and contrast. As you can see the memorization show the imperfection of the choroid. We see the different ink opacity left by marker pens, etc. We will harmonize the whole by contrasting and making the dark, darker. We cheek on brightness contrast to play first with the contrast of the whole. Then we make the dark darker by teaching on the level, changing the entry point of the church. The more it is close to the white. It will be. We correct this morning perfection by pinching with an opec brush tool on a new layer. Not to keep it obvious and ugly, we change the opacity property of that layer. Solid black color will only be added to the space where there is already black on it. That's it. We have our final drawing and we can save it as a JPEG or a PNG picture by going to File, Save Us and then changing its format. Once done with it, you can do whatever you want with your digital drawing. You can post it on social media, print it on shirt or Linux, etc. Something tells me that this one would do perfectly as an artwork on the skin bulb. I hope you enjoyed this class and that it will help you to unleash your creativity and produce cooled CKD leaking wheel but competing pieces of drain. Now it's your turn to create in the class project post your own artwork using the same techniques seen in the class. You're free to reach me anytime for further questions, I'm looking forward to hear from you. Choose.
