Realistisches Zeichnen mit Bleistift: Vom Neuling zum Experten

Hi Shannon, Always lovely to see someone who wants to get into colour pencils! What aspect in particular do you want to work on? I can give you more specific advice if you ask, but for now, I can give you some general feedback. 1. Your eye drawing is very well proportioned and the shapes are realistic. You've got a good range of values for the middle to dark shades. I can see you using the white of the paper as your light tones, which works for greyscale drawings but not so well for colour (unless you use is as a stylistic choice). You can use softer pencil pressure for light layers to blend the skin together, if you want. 2. For the tiger, I like the eyes - very smooth and shiny. I recommend following the direction of the fur with your pencil strokes. That can be a very tedious process and sometimes hurt your wrist, so don't tape your paper down so that you can rotate it. It'll take a while to get used to seeing your drawing at a different angle to your reference, just be patient with yourself. 3. You've covered most of the white space in the peacock, well done. I can see where you've layered darker blue or green on top of the lighter areas, so that's good practice. If you want the colour gradient to be smoother, you should use less pressure with your pencils - more, softer layers.Nice work! Let me know if you want more feedback or advice :) Lauren

No problem. Feel free to send through more drawings for feedback. I enjoy seeing how you guys progress

You're video got me inspired to draw animals. I did better than I thought, but I still have ways to go. I would like to use color pencils some more.<img srcset="https://static.skillshare.com/uploads/project/5506e1b0125ed7ec866f953389326c68/f7530998.jpg 600w, https://static.skillshare.com/uploads/project/5506e1b0125ed7ec866f953389326c68/f7530998.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 600px, 100vw" src="https://static.skillshare.com/uploads/project/5506e1b0125ed7ec866f953389326c68/f7530998.jpg" loading="lazy" alt="My attempt - image 1 - student project"><img srcset="https://static.skillshare.com/uploads/project/5506e1b0125ed7ec866f953389326c68/d1862da7.jpg 600w, https://static.skillshare.com/uploads/project/5506e1b0125ed7ec866f953389326c68/d1862da7.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 600px, 100vw" src="https://static.skillshare.com/uploads/project/5506e1b0125ed7ec866f953389326c68/d1862da7.jpg" loading="lazy" alt="My attempt - image 2 - student project"><img srcset="https://static.skillshare.com/uploads/project/5506e1b0125ed7ec866f953389326c68/11f77f37.jpg 600w, https://static.skillshare.com/uploads/project/5506e1b0125ed7ec866f953389326c68/11f77f37.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 600px, 100vw" src="https://static.skillshare.com/uploads/project/5506e1b0125ed7ec866f953389326c68/11f77f37.jpg" loading="lazy" alt="My attempt - image 3 - student project">
