Transcripts

1. Introduction: Without even realizing it, you might have made a Mandela before. Ever cut out snowflakes as a kid, or maybe due to the complex repetitive pattern in the notebook. There's a reason we innately feel poor to this beautiful and intricate designs. Mandela is an arrangement of simple shapes repeated in a circular pattern. But here we are going to do a small experiment and draw Mandela in form of abstract peacock Design. My name is Mercury, animal model artist and a YouTuber. Since the last eight years I've been making Monday lab worksheets and radius dimensions and sizes. In this class, you will learn how to draw, because design period with repeated two patterns, which is extremely satisfying to draw and color. Our first lesson is about art material required for this project, which you can easily get in stationary stores. Then we will practice to common repetitive patterns, which will be helpful for our final design. Then put our final project, drying peacock design, build with simple and beautiful patterns and coloring it with interesting color combinations. I wish my eye tutorial will bring your smiles and happiness. And you will understand each and every step properly. I'm really looking forward for you to join this course. Tibetan, be creative and experienced the benefits of grind Mandela's yourself. 2. Material Required: What material you need for this whole course. You can get these tools easily in stationary stores. Skin. Pencil, drawing. Here I'm using a stateless compass. You can also use any other kind of simple compass. Black fine liner. There are various ranks you can try like steadily art line, Sharpie, micron, fine liner is available. You can use it for your Monday night. Let's see which color we can use for our Mandela. He said, Oh my goodness, this particular paths going 1,000 different shapes. It has to do a team, brush tip and fine liner. I will be using these markers. There are many other brands you can try as per availability. Like copy, Sharpie, straight letter, Sakura, etc. Next up, drying paper. Use around hundred to 300 GSM. Grind pepper. Gsm stands for grams per square meter. It defines the quality of paper. 3. Petal Practice: Breakfast is directly proportional to patients because attending perfection in the development of a skill is a time-consuming process. One more step patient, and keep practicing more and more when picking up a new skill to perfect it, use grid paper or graph paper so that you can work on symmetric and perfect patterns. First, dry simple smooth curve in each block. Second, when dropped black structure. This battery design is a bit difficult compared to other designs. So try to find some simple techniques for you to draw it easily. Put one triangles. Next up spirals. Moving to practice some variations of it as well. You can experiment with different shapes and create your own patterns for Monday night. Again, drop structure in the opposite direction. Perfect and art requires the power of patients in learning and zeal to work hard. And it is patient that will lead you to your desired goals. If you lose patients easily, you end up losing the opportunity of learning a new skill. You need to practice these patterns in order to draw a few different Mondelez. If you're having trouble with drawing it symmetrically. First practice one side and then the other. If you think that some of these patterns are too difficult or easy for you to draw, replace them, or you can even repeat similar patterns you like the most in your Mandela. Different patterns will look different in different spaces. If you can draw these shapes like circles, squares, lines, curves, you can relax and enjoy drawing repetitive patterns. And you will be surprised and delighted to learn that you have an amazing artist within you. 4. Drawing Peacock: By the pursing, the passion for art, I have understood the vital role of colors, shapes, and textures. This realization keeps on in brewing division that I build towards my passion of contributing towards the great artistic community. Manila is an arrangement of simple shapes repeated in a circular pattern. But here we're going to do a small experiment and Roman villa in form of abstract because design. So let's start drawing. This lesson will teach you how to draw a peacock. We will pay attention to the shapes of each section and types of plane created. Artwork looks right. Here. I've taken a full-size drawing scene. The best way to get students off to a good start to any drawing lesson is to show them how to use guidelines as the reference points. So draw vertical line as an Ireland for our peacock design. Take a scratch piece of paper to practice body shape of peacock, which is considered to be a difficult part to draw. Start your pickup by drawing this small circle. It will be a head of peacock and draw lines attached to it, which will be next part. Draw a little shape in the middle and connect it to the next line. This will make the whole body of peacock. Now add the week and the ground. Drawing skill set about getting the size and placement of lines on paper. So having some visual reference point to get started will always help anyone learn how to be a little more accurate. Draw lightly with pencil first on a sheet of drying paper. You mainly to sketch the line so few times before you get the desired one. So have a good eraser too. Now for feeders, we will draw this outline and then Add Section to it so that we can fill it with patterns later. This tutorial will show students how to drive because without getting lost in too many details, those feeders, for instance, are incredibly complicated in real life. But a simple shape do the job just fine. They are radiating out from the body and offer some great radial symmetry drawing practice. Let's practice drawing. Lose. A great way to not only add variations to your lives, but also give you more perspective to your drawing, is to use angles are slammed when drawing this team. Feel free to play with shapes of the leaves and see what you like. I do my live fairly small and with some jagged edges. We'll give it a naturalistic feel. A bunch of leaves is a great way to fill the pages. It also adds movement to the page because these leaves seem to be dangling, are hanging. Starting by drawing the center line. Then adds more lines to mark where you want your leaves to be. Next, add your lives, angling each pair differently. And this leaves and goes on sideways of breather and body. If you feel some area of your design looks too empty, you can go back in later and add more lines and spirals. There are no rules or guidelines on how a Mandela should look like. You can make it look however you want it. You can add more patterns to make it look detail or leave it simple and plain. Each one has its own jar. You can add shading to a drawing to make it more realistic and complex. What's more, you can even dry square Mandela that will give them a null as a geometric and interesting. You can also try making them free hand once you gain the confidence. You can also create Mondelez with watercolors or create watercolor magnum syndrome nonetheless, over them. Once you're sure of the design, highlighted with black fine liner. Once you kept growing more Mondelez, you will come up with your own shapes and designs to make them. And you will draw them faster. Eventually will develop your own style of creating Mondelez. It is extra pencil lines for neat and clean artwork. Now to make the code design look more bold and clear, we will highlight it with more black color. My concern edges also keep some lines ten. Here I'm drying byte is complete. In the next lesson we will fill the empty feeder area with beautiful, repeat it to patents. 5. Drawing Patterns: Our first step of this art project is complete, which was peacock structure. Now in this lesson we will move on to a bit intricate. Lace your compass needle randomly over the middle part of peacocks body and start making concentric circles still the border. Draw these circles with the gap of around point by two 1 cm. We use the same procedure while making grid form under light. Similarly, draw circles from the upper part of the feeder. Circles can help ensure that each and every part of the design, it's symetric. Make sure that you draw circles slightly while using the pencil. Because we need to erase MLF to airlines are part of it at the end to get a clean design. When it's done with it, we will start making repeated two patterns. You need to make it look more intricate and detailed. Start with the body of peacock. Fill the inner circle with simple spirals are attached to each other. Next, draw a simple curves as we practice in our previous lesson. Now, draw some curves as before and fill it with this virus. Keep making patterns and filling the gap between the previously drawn patterns using different shapes and designs. This is what makes the Mandela look like more intricate. Even though we are using simple shapes. The placement of ships and the detailing makes it more complex. We have already practiced this shape. So when you are working on final art project, you don't have to think of the different shapes and patterns. Just keep your practice sheet near to you and pick one shape or better and fill the layer with that better. Now for free there, we will keep the same sequence of patterns for each partition, starting with the bigger one. Top grossing bell curves are attached to each other. Even though you are circles cannot be of same measurements as mine, you can replace that pattern with some another from practice sheet. Whereas Ben with the first partition, it is easy to draw. Rest of the feeders draw petals in the same sequence as before for the next partition. Don't think about how it's going to look when you finish or how people will react when they see it. Don't make it about yourself and don't treat it as a taste of your drawing skill. Let the rhythm take you around each circle and let the Mandela become your horrid word for now. There is no good or bad, just the reading lines and contrast. If you see us barn that looks too empty, you can go back in later and add more lines and patents. Don't worry if you make mistake. Take a slow deep breath. Note that you can and hopefully we'll be doing more of these. Amuse your mistake as a way to start a new pattern. You can experiment by feeling the grids with spirals, patents was darts and so on. But make sure you start something simple and then later on you can get into complex designs. Our pick up Mandela in the next lesson using simple techniques. 6. Coloring Peacock: Even though peacocks have to be very bright in color, they are not as bright as they look. In fact, peacocks are actually brown. Color often changes due to the reflection of light. That's the secret of their colorful feathers. Resection of peacocks feeders changes its color when the light strikes from different angles. So in this class we are going to choose color combinations that are appealing and which will look good in our pickup Mandela. Here I will be using oval markers for coloring our Mandela. These are brush tip markers. Keep a separate sheet of the same type of paper you are working on next to you. So you can test colors first before laying them down on your artwork. For coloring our peacock, we will use blue, purple, green, mustard, and differentiators of it. Or the body of people use blue and green shirts. Let's start with three sets of blue light to dark. Fairly floral design with light blue and next layer with dark shade. Fill the remaining part with black to create more depth. Since we will require some time for coloring. Let me explain some details on how we should use markers for coloring properly. And some tips and techniques about it. Michael's create beautiful vivid colors, but they can also leave your art book full of unwanted lines, extra dots, and sometimes even ruin your paper. How does one color evenly with markers, especially when coloring such small and complex images? When coloring with markers is best to use mall even strokes. Try to leave lots of space between your hand holding the market and your paper. Make sure your strokes are all moving in the same direction. You don't want to use a back-and-forth motion. But ensuring all your strokes go the same way, we'll give you a nice even color. Essentially, you want to pick up your hand and move it back to your starting point to achieve those model fluid lines. It also helps to start with your lightest colors like yellow or pink and move towards the darker, more dominating ones like black and brown. For the next part, used to share. So green, light and dark and aqua blue color. Like saturation points while coloring with thicker markers, you may notice lines in your market strokes. Light small strokes will help you elevate this effect and minimize your lines. You can also use a blender marker to smooth out districts in color. Blender markers or a t colorless alcohol-based markers. Lives aren't fully blurry lines, as well as create shading effects. Bare attention to the type of markers you are using. In addition to thickness, there are different types of markers, such as seasonal or brush. Knowing the difference and currently using your markers will keep your marker respiration functioning for much longer. Here one side of Or art project is complete. Now let's move on to the feeder part. Start with two shares of purple. Dotted failing the whole section it colors, keeps some areas white. It makes the pattern and colors look more clean and elegant. Start with purple, and as you go downward, use the sequence blue, then aqua blue, then green. Few more tips when using markers for your artworks. Brush tip markers are particularly useful as the integral. The idea is to draw with thick or thin lens center. Incredibly helpful for intricate detail work. But because of their delicate brush tip, it's essential to use an extra light touch to bring your tip. The style of mercury is not meant to be pressed down hard. Again, lots of space and a light touch will help you. As too much pressure will cause the tip to lose its shape. Delicate, however, will allow you to get into small corners of your artwork. Like a calligraphy pen Caesar tips are useful for creating a variety of thick or thin lines. But again, care must be taken to a poor the integrity of your tip. So much pressure which measure tip down, losing the ability to make those thin, crisp lines be good peer markers and they will be good for you and you are at work. When blending my colors, starting with the lightest color in your palette is good because you can layer more colors on top in descending order from lightest to darkest using the small strokes. To use various thickness and styles when choosing your palate. Don't be limited by one box or brand. How to color evenly with markers. When layering colors using light touch is key to over saturate your paper. Using a small strokes and living lot of whitespace will allow you to mix in more colors with, is to create your unique effects using a blender marker by layering colors will also help you get a nice even look and help create some cool effects. Don't be afraid to play with colors. When you start to fill in an area, you will first one to block in a light base color. Using markers is similar to painting. We can lay down course to get darker version of the same color. As you add more layers to an area, you can start adding shadows and highlights and even blend colors together to create a sense of depth. We won't go into all the details since this is a simply an introductory tutorial. But there is lot of cool marker techniques you can use here. Why is bandwidth be there and body, we will color the rest of the site designs. Lose and spiders with mustard and green. Foreground, big set of colors, drove pews, dark shade of mustard. Now for some blues, use dark shade and for remaining use light shed. Use green to highlight the border yourself. Please. Go small, I near the beak with black pen. Here. Our final project is complete. I hope you liked seeing this peacock Mandela shape. And I hope it gives you a nudge to try drawing maneuver cell. Start small, start simple. Experiment with shapes and colors and let it be fun and relaxing. And if you are after their ideas for simpler ways to draw Mandela, go ahead and try it out.
