1. Welcome to Class!: Hey there, how are you? My name is Andy Von and I'm so happy that you've decided to
join me here for this class. I enjoy working with
alcohol merkers, posca, merkers and
colored pencils. And sometimes I haven't like using all three
and even more, such as acrylic paint and watercolors and doing
something called mixed media. Over the past ten years
of my artist's career, I have learned and
gathered knowledge on how to draw and paint. Over the past three
years of teaching, I have learned what appeals to my students and how
they learn best. In this class, I want to help build your artistic abilities. Here's what we're going
to learn in this class. This class, we'll be using mixed media to bring
a drawing to life. Now, what is mixed
media, you ask? Well, it's using different
media such as pencils, colored pencils, markers,
alcohol based markers, a critic paint, and so
on, and combining this. Now what we'll be doing
today is a bit limited, and other artists use even more types of
media and combine them. But today we'll be using
alcohol based markers, colored pencils and
acrylic based workers. Now the drawing I'll be using
is a drawing that I did in a previous skillshare
class about how to draw flowers and
make a floral design. You can find a link
to this class in the class description
below this video. I invite you to
follow me here on Skillshare so that you see
whenever I posted a class. And also, don't forget
to follow me on Instagram and Facebook there. I post daily updates
of my artwork. And when you're done
with this class, I would love to
hear your feedback. Please leave a review and also feel free to share
your work that you've done. So that all of us here on skill share can
appreciate your work. It is now time to
start this class. So sharpen your pencils
and let the class begin.
2. First Layer Using Alcohol Based Markers: Alright, so we're going
to start and we're going to begin coloring
in the flower, working from the inside and going outward
with our colors. So for our first layer over using markers,
alcohol-based markers. And I have Copic markers
that I'll be using, such as this one. But I'll also be
going in at times and using Posca markers. I have different kinds. There really doesn't
matter what brand you use. Whatever you have is fine
because it was started. And I'm going to use
the brush tip for mine, which is my favorite
part of them brush. And I like it because
it's more using a brush that he would paint
away overseas with a chisel and the other end, it's harder, it's
hovered area and vendor, but it has the harder
and harsher lines. Well, that's why I prefer
using the brush tip. And one thing I will say
is we'll use markers that are lighter and lighter colors
such as this light blue. And then later on we'll
go on top with over the summer for layer with
stronger, more vibrant colors. So right now what we're doing is we're just laying in some soft, more pastel colors. Take it a color down and
get rid of the white. Okay, so now we've gotten
a main flower colored in and with our first
layer have monger. Now we'll move on to the towers. On either side. We will cover them with more darker centers,
such as purples. Blues are having
really up to you. I just want the
ones on the sides. So that our focus will
be towards this middle, yellow and red in here. And we'll move on from now. And we'll do that. I haven't heard of colors. And this relates to the
high-end arch, the middle. So what I've just done
in this location on this flower is I've
highlighted in pink. And then I'm going
in with a blue, baby blue coloring
and cover some of that pink petals to make
them have been more Turker, more purple so that
we have more depth. And this for our hand
that way we have a bit of a contrast
between some of the petals that are on top or upper layer of this flower and then some of the petals that
are further back. And I think I'll do that the same for this red
one right here. And then for these
two blue flowers, when it is a similar
approach to darken up some of the adults
around the edge, but I'm going to use my
gray marker instead. There'll be appropriate
to use to tone down and bring down
this little bit notch. Use a darker blue. I'm going to use my gray
and see how that goes. Okay, so that worked
well using the free, it brought down that field
when someone is on back. Before we move on
to this left side, I'm going to go back
to my main flower here and go around
these outer petals, having to read and use my blue to tone them down ever so much.
3. First Layer Using Alcohol Based Markers - Part 2: Okay, So we'll move on
to the left side now. And we'll use a
similar approach and using darker colors
for these flowers, they spark hits and other
flowers on the left hand side. Okay, So we've finished
coloring in the flowers. And the next video
we're going to start and current some of these. And in the next video
we're going to go in and coloring the leaves
and winds around here. So we'll see you
in the next video.
4. Coloring the Leaves of the Vines: Okay, so we're going to
start painting in the vines, and I'm going to use
this lighter green. We don't want to use
too dark of a grain or harder to use her adding
our details later on. So right now, I don't
want it to chlorine. The little leaves have on our face covering in
the stems at this time.
5. Adding Acrylic Markers to the Main Flower: Okay, so at this stage, we're going to go in
with our Posca markers. And I have these small ones, the extra fine tip ones, as well as the pit bigger ones, which are the normal size, the ones we use these two, we might just use one. We'll see how we deal
with this size drawing. If you don't have any
or some other brand, I know that there
are other brands of paint markers that are
very good, that's fine. Or you use whatever you have. I wear my part using possible and have had very good results
with how they work. So what we'll do is we're
going to have a, re, having some dark
coming out of here, some darker reds and oranges coming out
over this marker base. And a bit of a halo
around hips here. And then we will keep on
working inwards from there. So what I want to do is have these lines focus on
this petal right here. And I'll show a nice fine lines as if they were coming
out from the middle area. Here. Congestion, these
yellow leaves are arrows going out and
I'm stopping a little past the midpoint and just
lifting my brush up and letting the rind out with the orange denied fade
away, feather away. Okay, so that's the first
layer adding in orange, and now I'll add a net
creditor that chip it darker. I want to change this red as a regular read, extra fine tip. So what we're going to do
is the same thing as we did with the orange around here. So I'll go in with her retina these nice fine lines all
the way around our flower. And these will be a bit shorter, not as quite as strong
as the orange one, which we're at about half or a bit more length, total length. But these red ones will be just about maybe a quarter
by that total petal length. Okay, So we've finished adding
in the red around here. We have a few more
things to do on this. Outer partners have flour. Before we move on. The inner part, I'm
going to go in with my white Posca
marker and just add a few lines coming
from the outside. It was a pedal in the same way, weighted red and orange. But this time we're starting from the
outside of the petal, working in about halfway to
a quarter of the way inward. And then try to have
a formula to v, So that come in and have a bit more white right in
the center. Hi, there.
6. Adding Acrylic Marker Part 2: Okay, so we've gotten the outer part of the
flower done. For now. We'll be coming back on our colored pencil
and we'll be doing a few more adjustments to it. But it's done for
the time being. Right now, we're
going to work on this outer row or outer
layer of flowers, the purple right around here, having a bit of an
accent with some pinks. And then we'll see
what else we do. But I have my extra
fine tip marker. Okay. So that was using my
regular pink. That's fine. I would just go in and
add a bit of light pink to make it stand out
and pop even more. And with that in
and wanted to go in with a light blue and add a few lines is just harder
part right in here. So I don't have a
bit of a pop to it and not just be careful. Okay, We've got that fluid. And now we'll start
on the inner flowers, these pink ones
right around here. So I'm going to go
in with my darker blue is irregular plural marker. And more lines
coming from the very middle and spilling
out about halfway, similar to what we did
on this outer area. Hello, hey, that's choking. I'm going to now go in with my orange and just
add a bit of a line. Not exactly at nine. I'm saying that if
I lift all the way around the edge of these petals, I'm adding a touch
lighter orange, correct? Around the very, very edge
inner layer of petals. Okay, So at this point, all we have to do for
this inner part is work on that little
area right in here. So I have my flight and
it's nice and pink stuff. I'm going to go 8.5 excuse touch just to visit because
it was more I may have to do more than one
layer in order to get it to be enough white
that it shows up well.
7. Adding Acrylic Markers Right Side Flowers: All right. So we've gotten to the point where we've
added the alcohol marker and push Homer to this middle flower and the
main flower in the middle. We'll leave it there for now. We'll come back to it later. Right? Now we're going to
work on these outer flowers, and we'll start on
this right side. I'll be working on this
blue one right now. And I wanted to use some pinks. So remember how I added a bit of gray to some of these
petals around here. The ones that were more
behind that front petals. So I'm going to only add Today's front so that
they stand out more. And I'll find a
trace around them. They had a few little
lines similar to what we did on the arrow
here with the orange. How you use a bit of white in there part of
sandwiches to finish roads IN Hashmi 9 h flowing outward
along the little petals. Hey, that's looking good so far, I think I was at
a try for now and move on to this orange
and pink flower. And for the pink one, I'm going to use my light blue. And two is similar
thing to what I did with these other flowers here, tracing and videos and adding
in a few lines for accents. And the same thing happens
is that we have taste darker petals that are more purple back here and we
want to leave those alone. As an artist, my
pin and the land and add a bit of a lighter
area right in the middle. And then once that pink right in the middle tries I'll go
in with my lighter pink. Just add a few little specks of light pink to make
it really pop out. Okay, So these are now
many different continents, red or orange or one. Like I said, she was
charged with a ghetto and just go in and trace
some of these petals. I think for this
one I will focus on the names or
the outer part of the petals to make
them stand out even more and have a middle
way, a more darker. I may have to add a
couple more layers, more than one to make
it stand out enough. At the same time, I don't
want this flower to overpower middle one
where I should go. So that's why I'm not going
to make it too bright, colorful because I wanted to main focus to be right in here. And then for these dark gray
brown hetero surround here, on these other flowers, we didn't touch them. On this one. I want
to go in and add a bit of orange just to
give it a bit of variety. I'm going to come back to
this flower right here. And I add some pink or a Hegel Harlan pitch
in the middle here. I'm just going in and adding a few specks of white here to this part. And so it simmers and brighter and more
similar to this one. Okay, before moving
on to the left side, we need to finish up
with these two flowers. So I'll just go in
with some pink and add a pit of a lines in them.
8. Adding Acrylic Markers Left Side Flowers: Okay, so for this
left-hand side over here and find a narrate,
everything I do. I will just show you what I do. And if you need help, just pause the video
and comment in the discussion below this
video and asked me a question, I'll be happy to help
you unpack from now on. I'm going to work on this
left-hand side. Flowers.
9. Shading With Colored Pencils: Okay, so now that we finished
adding the Margaret and the alcohol-based marker with a capex and Prismacolor markers. And we've also gone in with our markers and added some
more tones, more cars. Now we're going to move on into using our Prisma
colored pencils. These are the ones
I'll be using API, you have another brand. Again, that's fine. Maybe you have Karen bash
or fabric Christelle, or any other brand that's great. For this project. I'm opting to use Prismacolor
because I know that one of the most common
pencils then people have. So to start off, are we working with
a few brown shades? I have dark amber, darker brown. And then finally I
have terracotta. So always starting with a terracotta and I'll
be working on this. He ever heard of
the inner flower. So what I'm doing
is I want to darken up some of these layers, some of these oranges
down in here, inner part of the petals. So I have my pencil
nice and sharp, and I'm going to go in and start shading and darkening it up. I don't want to overdo
it or anything, just everyone at all. So at this point, I've never have had this flower so far of the petals shading them
in my color pencil. And you can see the
difference how this side is darker and a bit
more pushed back, then this side over
here, which is lighter. So we're going to go on and cut around the
rest on this side. Okay, So I've finished
with a terracotta. I'm now going to go in
with some darker brown and work in a bit more shadow right around here in the orange part, just to really darken
it up a bit more. Okay, so we've got
a dark brown in. Now I'm going to go in
with my dark amber, which is a bit darker and
older than the darker brown. And I'm going to go in and
find some other lines. Some of the divisions between each petal searches
right in here, because they've
kind of faded away a little bit as we've
had in the color on top. So I'm just going to
take my pencil and go in and find each one
of these branches, right in this division,
right in-between here. And I'm also going to
add a little bit of line work with some more
darker shadows on the petals. All right. I'm showing this same area right
in the lower corner.
10. Shading with Colored Pencils Part 2: Okay, So we finished
the outer petals. Now we're going to go in
and work on the area right around the Harlin red in here. And we're going to
use dark umber to deepen the shadow right
around here. And then blue. Then what is the
navy blue will have these Harland stand
out even more. Score just adding them or nines. And I'm in Rome in order to enter in his working our
way how to handle out. I'm in the middle.
As far I know, spokes of a wheel.
11. Shading the Leaves: Okay. So we're going to go in and we're going to
work Gardner little leaves on the vines
now and we'll use is the grass green
Prismacolor number 909. And all I wanted
to do is go in and add a little middle line
to the middle of the leaf, right in the center of
it, along the axis. And then I'll soften it up because I wanted
to add this as I leave that lightest around
the center to be darker. So again, add a line right along the center
that kinda curves. And, and sharpen that up.
12. Shading In Between The Flowers: Alright, so to finish off, we're going to go in and
some of these areas, such as here and here
on either side of the main flower and cover
in these white spots, we are not going to cover
in a pair or anything. Then this kind of
triangular section. I was a time in
random wrong in here. And the light to tone that
down and pushing back even more so that our main flower and Central Asia will
stand out even more. So I'll be using
brain that grass, rain that we used
for the leaves. Pencil. One thing I will mention is try not
to have a heart and brain that line around here so that I can this area are up here, tried to have this air fade
out as it comes out into the light and not have
a hard to find edge. Alright, so now that we've
added that grain in, are going to go in with
our dark amber and we'll tone down the green a
bit so it doesn't show right. And again, it all being
pushed back more and bring the main flower and other
flowers out more and our focus. So again, we're using
dark umber for this.
13. Adding the Highlights and Shadows: Okay, So to conclude
or lead into a few modifications and
just improve it a bit more. I'm going to grab
my Posca marker this time and then
one that's a bit thicker and I'm going to
go in and add a few lines, going into the pedals, leaning in and eating
the leading the eye and just ride along those
yellowy orange panels. If by any chance any of these lighter lines that we just added her too
strong and my face, They are a few of them are
too strong, too prominent. I'll go in with a bit of
brown just to go over on the pasco Margaret stride. And I don't want
Alice to tone down and reduce the
intensity of that. My toe still show
up by a little bit. And I'm also going to add a better brighter
colors interests to the tips of some
of these leaves, some of these petals, so that they'll
stand out more to.
