1. Intro: Hello everyone and welcome to hyperreal, some drawing and 10 one. In this class through video images and easy to follow projects depth, I will take you through how to create your first hyper-realistic drawing. In my Skillshare class, I will share with you the materials that I use, my drawing process and all of the tip trick app secret. I have learned from six years of our college, 10 years teaching art out an entire lifetime of practicing art to walk you through how to draw a glass objects so they appear real. How to make metal objects look like they shine, and how to achieve that treaty. Polished, hyper-realistic luck, creating art feels great and creating hyper-realistic art fields even better. If you're new here, welcome. My name is Sheila. I'm the odorant counter Arts Academy. Dot i e. I graduated from the National College of Art and Design in 2011, and I've been teaching art since then. One of my absolute favorite types of art to make his Hyper-V gonna stick arts. I don't know about you, but when I first tried, it felt very intimidating. I would see these incredible artists on-line spending weeks and even months creating one, withdrawing. Through trial and error, I developed a process of achieving a similar look good in much less time. I'm going to share that math that we deem today in this class. You're going to create this drawing. If you're new to art, That's my problem. I have a template for you to get started. By the end of this class, you would have completed your first hyper-realistic drawing. You can enjoy making this strong as upland relaxing project. Other ways you can benefit from your new drawing skills, or you could exhibit to work in local galleries, create an online business selling your art. You could make and sell prints, greeting cards with your designs on them or merchandise, or just enjoy a fun hobby and personal creative development. Either way you get ready to impress yourself. Join me in the next video and let's get started.
2. Materials: The materials you'll need to make destroying are as follows. A piece of gray cardboards. I have used the back of the sketch pads. Print off these templates you will find under projects and resources, it is called lightbulb template dot J peg. You'll need a sheet of tracing paper, some masking tape, pencils in which B to B. For B, I'm six feet. You can see they get darker as they go up in numbers. If you don't have all of these pencils, just a life's work under dark one will work very well. We're going to need something to blend your pencil wet like a blending stump. A blending stump is just a tightly rolled piece of paper. If you don't have a blending stump, cotton good will work for you or you could fold up the tissue into a point from that worked very well. And kneaded eraser is useful if you have one or as some people call them, a pushy rubber. We're going to use a white gel pen or white paint marker. Use one that has a fine nib. If you don't have a white gel pen or white paint marker, you could use white acrylic paints on a fine paintbrush. Other materials we'll use our white charcoal pencil. If you don't have a white charcoal pencil, you could choose a white colored pencil. I really love these polychrome or colored pencils. You're going to need a black, fine liner. A pencil sharpener, and optional vote recommends it a Copic marker in the color EE 14 break Weiss. Other markers that field a similar effect to the culprit in a 40, or the touch new marker in the color green, gray, G0, G1. Or if you're a pro markers on, use the color cool gray and pro-market. See how they just beautifully phase into the gray cardboards. Optional, but if you have one, I loved to use these battery operated erasers. Completely optional, but you're already halfway. Quite often fun to you. And that's this, that is everything you need. What's some alternatives? Let's get started.
3. Transfering your design: To prepare your drawing, I'll share with you how to transfer at this design onto great cardboard using tracing paper. First print off your templates. You can find a template by clicking Projects and Resources, entrepreneur sources. You'll see lightbulb template dot J peg B to print off. Place a sheet of tracing paper on top of the printed item, place, secure it in place with a piece of masking tape. Are there to stake the masking tape onto the back of my hand a couple of times and peel it off to make it a bit less sticky in order that it doesn't rip the paper on removal. Next, take your HB pencil and a piece of paper under your hand to prevent smudging. Carefully trace over all the lines of your design. Once that is complete, liftoff the tracing paper and flip it over. On the back of the tracing paper. We'll go over the lines on the reverse using a for B pencil. When you have completed the back of the tracing paper, flip it again, place it on your gray coverage using masking tape. Grab a high HB pencil and we're going to press HB pencil over each line to transfer the graphite from the back of the tracing paper onto your grade cart. Every now and again, lift up a corner of the tracing paper to double-check that the graphite is transferring for you. It should be very lice. When you've transferred the entire design onto the gray cards, gently remove the tracing paper. Congratulations, you are now ready to apply the first layer of your hyperreal ASME drawing joined me in the next video for layer number 1. Let's go.
4. Base Layer: Okay, you have your design put down into great cardboard and you're ready to put down your base layer. We will likely shade these areas. I marked the Irish on the template for you to use as a guide. The shaded areas look more prominent on the white paper than they will on the gray cardboard edge because HB pencil is also gray and your gray cardboard of course is great. Simply fill in the areas I have marked out for you when life even strokes for best results, sharpen your pencil and keep it char, use like even pressure on your pencil as you work, as your principal gets blunt, sharp, and as you go, I like to place a spare piece of cardboard or paper under my hand as I draw to prevent smudging the artwork. As you change the shade the drawing, keep your pencil strokes going in the same direction as much as possible for a beautiful even finish. Let's shade the metal area of the bulb. The mental is silvery gray and the HB pencil is also silvery gray. This is going to look amazing. We will add as a base layer of shading here, where the light bulb is casting a shadow onto the surface. Next, I'll show you how I loved to blend the base layer into a smooth as glass finish. Will you share your progress so far because I'd love to see us take a picture of your projects so far with your phone. Upload your photo here, click on Discussions. Share a project and upload image. I'm excited to see your first layer. Join me in the next video where we will blend that base layer into a smooth finish.
5. Blending: You have your base layer of graphite down and you're off to great startings. Next, let's blend this layer. It's going to look like this. After it's blended, almost like a ghost of a light bulb, this will ground the drawing. I will use a blending stump. Alternative options for blending are using cotton buds or a tissue folders to a point using light pressure, simply stroke the graphite areas with the blending stump. A blending stump is made of type year-old paper cut into a point. The reason the rocket areas look smoother after blending is you're moving the graph price around and then you can fill in all the tiny Microscopic wrenches and the cardboard. If you are curious as to why I'm not blending with my fingers, it is because humans skin contains natural oils. These natural oils mix with graphite on it could look kind of dirty and smudged as opposed to a gorgeous smooth blend. Another advantage of using a blending to whether you choose the blending stump, cotton, boater fold tissue is the point 2 makes it easier to get into those smaller areas and tight corners. Take your time was blending and enjoy edge. I'm personally really enjoy this step. I find it very relaxing and mindful. I'll speed up the video here. I encourage you to share a picture of your coats blender base layer below, because you can then get feedback like each other's drawings. It creates a nice sense of creative community. I'm makes for a better learning experience. The next step involves getting started on creating the shine. I always feel excited about adding shine to adjoin. See you in the next video to add some sparkle.
6. Make It Shine: Let's add some shine to this ghost drawing and make the light bulb sparkle. Have a look at these lighter areas in the finished drawing. See how they stead IOC can see the gray background and the graphite faith. For this step we will use the white charcoal pencil. Alternatively, you may opt to use a white colored pencil. You can achieve different levels of brightness or shine by varying the pressure, less pressure for a live tree showing, and more pressure for more brilliant shine. White charcoal pencils blend beautifully in order to know where you can place the white charcoal areas, I'll pop up a kosher way for you to use as a guide. Let's begin by lightly filling in a bright area inside this shape here, we don't need to fill in the entire shape. We will leave some areas of cardboard on touched because in the next step, we will add some white gel pen to those areas. I find that the white gel pen doesn't adhere to the white charcoal very well. So we want to leave some areas bear the secret to hyper-realistic grass that's shiny look is two-part process and this is the first part. The drawing doesn't look like much at this stage, but be patient on trust in the process, your drawing will look awesome if you build it up one step at a time. Next, grab your kneaded eraser, likely with hardly any pressure. Pick up a little of the graphite and I'm a little off the charcoal. Using this kneaded eraser. You might think this is crazy. Raising the drawing after all of our work, but we're not going to erase it completely. Just very lightly stroke the cardboard with the kneaded eraser. And it'll slightly pick up a little bit of what we've put down already because it's glass, this will give dot transparent material illusion. I favorite part of the drawing process is going up next. And that's auditing the brilliant highlights on top of this Shine do share a picture of the progression, the discussion box blue. It's phone to take pictures as you go to watch your drawing, take shape, and come to life. Then join me in the next video out of that super sparkle.
7. Brightest Highlights: This is the part I've been most looking forward to sharing with you. The gray card service is quite dull. It's the perfect foundation for brilliant by a high rate. This gives you an idea of the color payoff from the white gel pen on a gray background, you get a beautiful intense white popping off the low chroma gray. These are the areas we will put down the brightest highlights. I will pop I could away in the corner for your reference, the white gel pen, we're really bump up the software highlights from the last step. We will put out or Coleridge's clean edge on the reflection. Using the job patent, you do need to move the gel pen around quite a bit on the carpet marriage to cause the bowl in the ballpoint pen can get a bit stuck and a bit clogged. Clean is often on your spare piece of cardboard has you go enjoy adding the opaque white details with the pen, using the cutaway as a guide, showing you where to fill in, you will have a gorgeous variety of highlights between the softer white charcoal pencil from the last video and now these brilliant white highlights, I'm using a white gel pen, but you can equally choose a white paint marker. I loved the pasco ones. And other option for the same results is white acrylic paint on a fine paintbrush. I like to layer some white charcoal on top of some areas of the white gel pen to blend from opaque brilliant white gel pen to the softer Weiss charcoal Xin. This ultimate fields in any gaps in the white pen giving the illusion of light reflected of bouncing on smooth graph. When adding the high shine to the mental part, work in straight parallel lines to achieve the optical illusion of brushed metal. I'm especially excited to see your pictures of this death. Take a quick picture with your phone and upload in the discussion panel below before we add a bit more magic to join in the next video. This next video, we'll have your drawing practically popping completely off the page, and I'll see you there.
8. Metal Magic Part I: Now that your glass areas are looking great, Let's add some metal magic to your drawing. In this video, we will focus on the metal area of the light bulb laying down some of your blackest blacks allows the white areas to even brighter due to contrast using your black fine liner, That's begin laying down some black ink along this edge. As always, I leave a cutaway in the corner of the screen for you to act as a guide, outline this area first before filling it in. The fine liner is the perfect tool for precision. Grabbing your four B pencil fill in those tiny gaps that we laughed. Returning to the fine liner, draw a straight line here to begin, carefully draw line touching the white highlights, a dotted line here. Draw a line across here. Lay down a circled here to encase that small highlights, beginning of the straight line and heading in the direction of the dotted line, lay down some straight parallel lines. I will demonstrate right technique of tapering these lines on a separate sheet of cards. Again, each line with even pressure to feather off the end of the line, reduce the pressure on your pen as you draw. This gives a tapered effect. This will create the illusion of MATLAB drag some of these tapered lines across and over the white gel pen highlights this effect, draws the eye back and forth over the drawing, creating the illusion of a 3D form. Stuck these lines close together, varying the length of the lines. I personally prefer to use a black fine liner, the darkest blacks, rather than a dark graphite pencil tool and the bevel here. We will use the same technique is below for this area of shadow. We will define some of these edges using our black fine liner. The metal area has the dark cast shadow will begin the castrato using the fine liner, creating an outline, filling in part of it with a black fine liner on the layering over this with a dark graphite pencil. Through next video, I'm going to show you a layering effect. I'll see you in the next video.
9. Metal Magic Part II: Welcome back. He began creating that metal area of light bulb ballots. Grab your white tend to charcoal pencil, add some white charcoal to these areas. Using your pencil that shade the area between the white gel pen here. This creates contrast and allows the white area to fill this shape with two beat graphite pencil, dragging some of the lines over the black fine liner barrier. Repeats this technique on this part of the drawing. This is my layering of materials technique for creating a realistic metal effects. Add some graphite to the edge here, and go back in with your black fine liner to define this edge layer, a little black fine liner over it. The graphite area here. Adding a droplet edge here. Lightly blend the graph right, with your blending stump. The graphite areas were fletched lives and the black fine liner areas absorbed light, helping create a three-dimensional hyper-realistic metal lock. This combination of materials rounds out the form or the starting these art materials, how to layer them, how they react to light, and how they trick the eye of the viewer, helps you create hyper-realistic cards. Well done. You've created a hyper-realistic methyl of fact on your drawing using my marrying method. As always, of course, I would love to see your work and your progress so far. I had a picture of your progress in the discussion box below. Coming up, we will add the metal element up and light bulb. I will show you the secrets to drawing metal inside of grass, combining all the techniques we've learned so far. I'll see you there.
10. Combine Your Skills: Mental part of your drawing is looking so good. In this video, we will combine all of the skills and knowledge you have achieved so far to add the metal and glass filament inside the light bulb using our HB pencil, darken this line here. There is another line crossing it with a circular highlights behind them. Cover your metal drawing with cardboard to protected from getting smudged with your hand. Pick up your black fine liner. Now, I'd add some shadow to these two lines. Leave a couple of gaps in order that the HB pencil underneath shows through with your gel pen out a scattering of highlights. Using the HB pencil draw in these shapes using the cutaway in the corner as it guides the light bulb is a glass object on the outside, but there is also some information inside the glass. So if that information is interrupted by the reflections on the surface of the glass. I'm popping in an extra highlights here with the gel pen. Pick up the darker shapes using the fine liner. There is a dark line running and wrong here. There is a dark shape here because some brilliant highlights with the white gel pen fill in the gaps in-between with the HB pencil and continue to draw and record what you observe in the reference. I'm placing extra highlights with the white chocolate around the edge of the glass bulb. They down this detail that looks like the letter a markdown the shapes with the HB pencil first, I'm going to find it with the black fine liner constantly referred to the finished drawing in the corner. There is a hairpin shape here, a small dark shape here. A few dots in a semicircle out of some HB pencil here to contrast with a circular highlights and smooth the edges aren't the HB with the blending stump. Changing some green graph right? Areas. If you make any mistake at this point, it won't even be noticed. So really enjoy your work as an oval, broken lines with the white gel pen. To add a scattering of highlights. Your drawing is almost complete and I am excited to see it progress. At a photo below. Coming up, we will add some finishing touches and our final polished. See you in the next video. The ground generally.
11. Final Details : Artists, we are on our final video of this class. Congratulations on getting this far. If you are enjoying the drawing class, follow me here. If there is an object you'd love to, your integral, I'm here for you, so let me know in the discussion panel, I would love your feedback. The drawing is looking grace. Now let's add the final polish. It seems counter-intuitive, but even transparent glass can have dark shadows with our black fine liner, slightly in from the edge that lay down a black shadow here following the curve of the pole, use light pressure to mark in the shadow. Taper off the shadow at the ends. With the freebie pencil that out. Continue this shadow slightly overlapping the black fine liner area. Use the four B pencil to accentuate a few key areas on the glass surface. This adds some extra contrast to pump up those white highlights areas creating even more flow. Use lice, even pressure to avoid over shading the moon with the blending stump using light pressure, the graphite is deepens when it fills in the tiny gaps with the blending stump. Lived off any excess by dabbing it with your kneaded eraser. This next step is optional, but very enjoyable. We will use the Copic marker in the color break twice a0, 40. I know some of you are ride or die pro-market funds. If you want to use a pro Barker, use the color cool gray touch. New markers are also 3D God and work very well under a more affordable option, and that achieves a similar effect. This is the technique I love to use. Lighten the pressure as you draw to create a tapered effect. There is also a chiseled tip. I will use the brush tip, stroke the cardboard with the brush, and slightly lift away your hand, creating a tapered F8. Watch how light it gets as it dries. You can add layers after it dries for deeper effect. Experiment on a spare sheet of cardboard. When you go over the gel pen with the Copic marker, the white gel still shines through. Now, let's apply to our hyper-realistic drawing. Because light is passing through the glass light bulb, it casts a shadow on this shadow is subtle. A cast shadow creates the illusion of weight and grounds the object. Draw a triangle. I like to place three dots of markers and join them together. Use light, feathery strokes as you work. Take your time on, build on layer as the marker dries. Layer over the shadow we put out earlier. Again, as it dries, it becomes more subtle. Kind of drugs some of the graphite here and blends out into This marker, slightly stains the paper. And to find the poll edge in a very realistic way. Congratulations on completing your hyper-realistic growing. Share your finished artwork below. If you enjoyed this course, do leave a review and follow for more art classes. Either play to create R2P again.
