Hello, I'm Amelie.

I started drawing with a pencil when I was sixteen, initially focusing on pencil drawing classes. During these early years, I developed a strong foundation in portrait drawing, figure drawing, and facial features design. I also honed my skills in working with colored pencils, ink pens, and watercolors. These diverse experiences have given me a comprehensive understanding of various techniques and styles.

As my interest grew, I discovered a passion for character design and animation, which led me to pursue professional character design classes. My university education in the field of animation further deepened my expertise. At the age of twenty-four, I began teaching character drawing with a pencil, combining my knowledge of traditional drawing techniques... See full profile

1. Introduction: Do you want to sketch amazing drawings with pen? By entering the fascinating world of pen sketching, all these possibilities are available to you. Take your pen art and technique to a new level in this class. From a metal clock texture to a glass muck texture, from a book texture to a candlestick texture. Here you will learn how to use each different textures and materials to create your amazing drawing. My tutorials, we'll not only teach you the skills needed to draw artistically with a pen, but also allow you to create multiple textures and materials that are truly unique and amazing with just one pen. Get started now and join this class. Your creativity knows no boundaries. It all starts with a pen. In this chapter, we are going to learn how we can sketch different sketches and drawings with pen from the basics to levels. Before I want to start the chapter and we have our classes with our pens, I have to tell you about the tools and equipment that we need for this tutorial. Of course, the most important and the main important object is our pen. It's just a simple pen. Then we have a jelly pen, a white jelly pen. We also need a pencil. It can be an Ted pencil and an eraser, of course. To eraser, you should also have a piece of white paper next to you that I will tell you how to use it during our course. We also need a tape, a paper tape. These are all the equipments that we need in this chapter. Let's start. 2. Primary Sketch: Hello and welcome to a new chapter of this beautiful sketching with me. Okay, in this chapter of sketching with pen, we are going to work on this beautiful metal that we have a combination of textures of metal, glass and also paper. As usual, I'm doing the primary sketch with copying method. I've darkened the back of my models paper, then I'll fix my model on the paper or cardboard that I want to work on. It would not move while I want to go over it and copy my primary sketch. I'll fix it with some paper tape. I use one on the top and another on the bottom. Okay. Now I'm going to use a pencil. I'll start going over all of my main parts. I start right here from this bell on the clock. This is an alarm clock, and as you can see, it has two bells on top of it. I'm going to go over these two also. Some details are over here that I also want to create. Then I move on and create the clock itself a general way and a general shape of a circle which makes my clock. All right, the last circle should also be traced from here. It's the most inner circle of the clock. Then I also work on these details for the numbers, the minutes of my clock should be placed, the numbers on the clock should be placed on their own place as well. Later I can create them. Here it goes. So I am working on those numbers so precisely. I also create the clock hands also, the other hand which shows the minutes and the other one which actually shows the hour. I go over all of them because I need them when I want to do my own sketch. Okay, now I want to work on the other parts of this clock. I want to go over all these other parts on the side, on the bottom to create the whole sketch. As I said before, my preference is to go over the main lines and create the main shapes. But as well as I'm doing that, wherever I see details that I think I might need in my own sketch, I go over them too because some of them are easier to be placed. Right. Even from the primary sketch. Okay. Also over here, the top part of the clock which connects the two bells together. Here it is. Again, I say, wherever you see some details that you might need in your work, go over them as well so you can have them in your primary sketch, and your work would be easier in the rest of your way. Then I want to work on the book here. The book doesn't have that much details. I just mainly go over these lines. I will also consider this old and dingy shape of the book. Therefore, on the sides I also go a bit round. Not too sharp because it's all and dingy. It's been damaged a bit. I also work on this other book too, which is underneath the first one. Okay. Then I will go over the main lines of the glass. I create this glass exactly over here, the place that it is in my picture. I also create these details inside of it. I can show the water in the glass. There are also some coins over here. Do not forget about them as well, I just go around them. Here it is. As the last part of my copying method, for my primary sketch, I am going to work on this candlestick. I'm creating this candle, this beautiful candle with its flame, this candlestick in its own placement. Just going over the lines so I can copy it completely like this. I just have to check my work once in order to make sure that everything was copied completely. What do you know? As you can see, it's completely copied and it's pretty good. Very easily, we could have created our primary sketch. Now we're going to work on the shading and start this sketch. 3. Drawing and shading of the first bell: Hello again and welcome to the first part of this beautiful sketch with me. We're going to use the pen technique, as you already know. Okay, let's start the shading altogether. I'm going to start with these bills on this clock. First of all, you should drag your pen on another paper so you can actually get the extra ink off the tip of your pen and also warm it up. Okay, now I will start from this point, and then very slowly I start shading. Now from here again, very slowly I start my shading and I apply my hatches now in order to create the texture of the metal, because this clock that I'm sketching over here is metal. For creating the metal texture you do, similar to what you do for the glass and water texture. It means that you should create a strong darkness right next to the strong lights. We can have a very high contrast and strong contrast, therefore you can get the texture of the metal. Okay, then I will shade it. As you can see, I am shading in the direction of the curve that I have on my own clock. You see because it's circle, it also has a curve. I remember to keep the direction correctly as I'm shading. I'm doing it very slowly and very patiently, and I'm dragging the darkness from the edges and from the sides. I faded into the center of my work. As you can see, my colors are much more darker on the edges and sides. As they come toward the center, they get lighter. Okay. Over here I would apply more darkness. I also do it with more confidence and clear that this darkness right next to this strong light will give me the shine that I need and I want for my work. I'll complete it just like this. Then slowly, little by little, I apply these darkness next to each other by creating my hatches right next to each other. I also create some dark lines over here in order to show I have a linear darkness in my whole work. Continuing this now I would work on vertical lines. For example, over here I have a vertical shape that very slowly and with a very low hand pressure, I bring this darkness into my work. Just like this, See, I'll do it in different directions. I apply the darkness in different directions that it would look more cohesive and more beautiful. Okay, So I'll keep repeating it in different directions until I get the darkness that I want for here. It might take some time, but as I told you before, you should take your time with it. I would also like to create several spots like I'm doing right now. Okay. Then I faded a little toward the side of the bell over here. I try to keep that darkness. Okay. Just like that, with a bit more emphasize, I'm going to show and create these parts darker than they are. I have a very high hand pressure. As you can see, I've got dark colors. Okay? Now I also want a bit of this darkness. And I'll faded toward this side, so it gets out of that linear shape. Here we go, Just like that. Then, little by little, very slowly, I create this fatness for my work. Now I want to continue up to here. Just like that, I would get this beautiful fade. Okay? Then very slowly, I fad my work in this area. And as I told you, you should do everything very slowly and patiently. Okay? And in the center, I'll just drag this darkness upwards. It means that I increase its intensity and make it darker. Okay? And then slowly as I come towards this side, darkness will be faded up to this central part of my work. I'm just going to do a general background color and general background shade like this one. Then again, I start applying horizontal darkness. See, just like that. Then I come down with a bit of distance. Again, I apply darkness. Then over here, I create this darkness with more intensity. I create the darkness as the shape of a pipe or a cylinder, just like that on the side. I'm going to fade a little. Then I leave a bit of my paper with a bit of distance. I leave a narrow part white and light. And then again, I start creating a very strong dark shade. Because this high contrast will actually show the shine that I have on my material, which is metal here. It can show the metal texture with this shade. And on these lower parts, I have some faintness. I create my work up to this upper areas. I shade it all the way up again, I say I have a strong darkness on one side. Then I have a very narrow area at distance which stays light and white. Then again, after that I have a very strong darkness. Again, I'll do this even several times. This can actually show the texture of my work, the metal texture, and the shine that it's got. Now over here, I will have cohesive shades and they would be really faded. You see? It means that all of these vertical darkness that I have already placed here, I will fade them downwards with my other shadings just like this See, Then I'll continue and all around my bell, I just create a very faded line toward inside. Okay. In these parts, these lights are totally faded. I come here and I'll repeat the same thing. It means that again, I will fade the darkness that I have applied over here. I'll fade it downwards. Okay, Now I come up and over here I apply a very general shade for my work. It means I have a very light and cohesive shade here. Just like that, I'll create it, s, it's very easy. We just have to pay attention to the placement of the darkness and the lighter spots. When you do that, it's just a matter of controlling your hand pressure and creating this beautiful sketch. Now, I try to organize these random darkness, random lights. I try to organize them. I try to emphasize on the darkness so I can create a higher contrast. The shine that I want will actually show itself. I'll do this shading from all directions. I'll do it on this side as well. You see? I also do some fading downwards. Okay. So I just work like this very easily. Then the darkness that I have here should come from the center of the darkness. I just drag it upwards and up to here. I have it this way. See, so nicely done. Here it goes. Just like that. It's done. Okay. So this was the first bill on the clock that we've created together. Now let's continue to the rest of the sketch. 4. Drawing and shading of the second bell: Hello again, and welcome to the next episode of the tutorial with me. Okay, now let's work on the shading of the second bell together. Of course, for the second, basically we are going to do the same thing, exactly like that. I start from the edges, then very slowly with a low hand pressure. In this way, very easily I'll do my shading. Okay? Now my hand pressure is low so that my shadings would actually be created better. It's better to do the fading on this side a bit more. Now, from the side of the bell, you see on the edges, I have almost a high hand pressure. Then for fading it, I increase this hand pressure. See, just like that, I would have a very soft shade for this area. Okay. My hand pressure for the side area is also high and it would be still dark. And I'll just continue and I'll fade it toward the center. Okay. Now also I'll do the same thing from this side on the edges. I apply the darkness over here, right on the edges, in this way. And then very slowly I'll fade it suddenly I should change the color. Just slowly faded until it gets brighter. Okay. I also repeat the same thing on this part of the bell as well. Now the darkness that I'm applying over here is more faded upwards. It means that little by little, I faded upwards, just like that, until I get to these higher parts and I'll continue up to here. Okay. And then little by little, I fade this shade over here. Okay. This would be the center of the darkness here. I would have the strong dark shades. I should apply more darkness to this area because this is the center of my darkness. Just like that in different directions. I just shade, now I'm shading vertically from top to bottom. I'm also showing this beautiful texture and shine with the difference that I have and I've created between the colors and shades and made this beautiful contrast. Okay, then I'll complete it. And I come to this side, toward the edges, and little by little I get this darkness to light. I make it light. As you can see, my shades are actually getting faded into one another. See also in here, I'll just continue in the same way. Okay. Still the amount of darkness in this area should be, should become more. Actually, the concentration of the darkness over here should be definitely more. And then little by little in the upper part, in these top parts of my bell, I'm going to fade them. Then just like that, I fade my shadings from the sides as well. Okay, now on this corner of the bell, on this edge I have a really strong darkness. And I'll continue with the same amount of darkness to the top. Now, from this edge, from this corner, I try to just throw up the shade toward this part of my contrast. You see, I'll do it very easily so I can keep the shine in my work. I'm actually creating the contrast just like that, based on the directions I try to shade. I'm going to keep the main direction, but I'm actually shading in the opposite directions. So I can totally eliminate the trace of my pen on the work. I don't want to see any traces here. Okay, now I come here and again, I increase the darkness of this place as one degree. Okay, in here I'll also do the same. I increase the darkness as the level of one degrees. One more color palette. Okay, now I want to work on the bottom of my bill. I would start right from the bottom. I have darkness here. I am creating this dark line. I start shading the slower part as well because I have a light over there. Even over here, I should have the continuous of that. I should have the rest of that light. It's not just suddenly cut off. I continue my work as I have darkness over here. I rest of the darkness, whether you have the light on the upper part, you should continue that as well. Whether you have darkness on the upper part, you should continue that too. Okay. When I get here, I should just create the reflection for this area. Then little by little, I try to create the light, the darkness, and the contrast. Control your hand pressure in order to get the colors that you want. The concentration of the darkness would be here in the center. Okay, Now I would want to work on the next part. Then again, from here, I apply the darkness. And then little by little, I try to fade it toward the lighter areas, Okay? Now this fading is vitally important for creating this texture. But at the same time, you should keep in mind that we are not creating any hyperreal sketch. You see we are creating a sketch, a normal sketch. You don't have to make it so hyperrealistic. You just have to make your shades very soft and nice. Nice to look at. Okay, now I come up to here. Over here is the body of the clock. This is the clock, it comes underneath this one. I do not want to work on it right now, but I want to create the darkness for this area. Just like that. I consider the absolute darkness for here, it's bottom of the bell or inside of it. Also, for here I consider this darkness. Okay, so over here again, as I said, I have an absolute darkness over here. All right. Now this is the inner part of my bell. Therefore, there is no light there. And I can darken it completely because as I told you, it's the inner part of the bell. I repeat this darkening layer by layer until I get the darkness that I want for this very dark area. Just like that. I also consider a very general shade for over here that actually connects these two bells together. Okay, now we should step by step, move toward applicing the darkness on the clock itself. This is also the rest of the darkness that I have inside of the bell. I've got to darken it as much as I can. I told you even layer by layer so I can get the darkness that I want. Okay. I keep this trace of light here as well. Do not forget about it. Okay, Now I can move on to the next part. I want to start from the surface of the clock. Before I do anything, I just start with creating the numbers. First of all, I determine the placement of each one of these numbers as the shape of a square, As you can see. Then I start working on the numbers themselves. Be careful about respecting the distance between each number. See, right now I'm just creating the squares for the numbers of the hours. But you should do it as well as this. It's really important not to make it more or less as you can see. As I move up towards this side of my clock, the squares cannot be seen completely because it's not in the front view. Okay, I'm going to place number one as I can see in my reference, try to create your numbers very the beauty of your work would actually be increased. Okay, I've got 12 over here. I have number one, sorry, number two like this. Then I've got number three. As you can see, I'm just placing the numbers one by one in front of the squares that I had already created. Then I moved to create number four that is actually placed behind the clock handle, the clock hands. Therefore, I only created as much as I can see in the picture. Then I go with number five. It comes down like this. It's also number six over here. And here it goes. We've got number seven here. Then we move to number eight and nine. Okay? And then of course, 10.11. And here goes, number 11, like this. Okay, well, let's continue in next episode. 5. Drawing and shading of the clock surface: Hello again and welcome to the rest of this beautiful tutorial with me. Okay, now in this episode, we are going to complete our clock little by little. First of all, I'm going to create these circles around the numbers. I've got to create several circles in order to complete the whole clock. Just be careful to create these circles very neat. Try to stay completely in line. It's very important to get them neat enough. Here it goes. Now we can work on creating the clock hits. Okay, here I have a dark spot. I've got it light the middle and then again, made it darker. I come down. This is the clock hand which counts the seconds that slowly. I finish it over here in the end I also keep the shine of it. Okay. Then I have the clock hand which counts the hours and goes over the hours. In this way, from the sides, I'm going to go darker. And in the center, it would be lighter. I try to keep it light. See, I also create a line over my clock handle, which is for the hour. Then again, I move to work on this one. To work on the clock hand which which counts the minutes. Okay. I also have a square shape over here for this. Okay. Now, even inside of this clock surface, it's not that I don't have any shade. I just create a light and general shade for it. Just remember to take the extra ink off your pen tip. You should do that every time you want to create a very, very light shade. Don't forget that and do it each time little by little, I consider a very light shade for my work in this way. Also from these parts, I'll do the same thing. And I come down here, it goes like this. I'll complete it. Then little by little, I get the shade toward the center of my work. See very slowly I bring it down. As you can see, I just gave a very light and general shape to the whole surface of the clock. Then over here, my shading should be done with a bit more of my hand pressure. Therefore, it can show that this area is just a bit darker comparing to the other parts because of the direction that it's placed in. Okay, As you can see, I'm just doing it in different directions. I am trying to get the shading that I've had here more cohesive. I'll just continue in this way. Even from these parts, from these edges, I'll do the same thing. Okay, and then I complete this area as well. You see now it looks much more better. You shouldn't have just lifted it white. You know, also I keep a light over here. I keep this area light. But I shade around it so that light can actually show itself. I'm going to shade all around it, all over here, so that my light can show itself better and more. I would also do it on the other side of the light as well. I come completely up to here then I am trying to get my shading as cohesive as possible and my clock would look just great and pretty. I'll just continue like this until I get the shade that I want over here. All right. I'm almost done here. After I have completed this area, I'm going to work on the body of the clock. Mean the metal area of the surface. I'm going to shape this area a bit more. Also, a little over here. Just one thing that I forgot was actually applying these very small lines for the minutes. For each part, I'm going to create four lines for small lines between each number. For each part, I'm going to place four little lines in order to show the minutes. Okay? Here it goes. As I move toward this side, it means that eight to nine, they cannot be seen. For example, over here, this much can be seen again, you can see that 11-12 Okay? I've already placed the minutes, now we are going to start shading the frame of the clock. You see over here, It goes like that. And then little by little, I'm creating and I'm drawing the circle, therefore, I can shade in between them. So I determine my circles at first, and then I can just shade in between them more easily. Okay, now I'm going to apply a shade which is almost like, it should be one degree darker comparing to the center and the surface of the clock. Only one degree darker than that. But in general, over here, I should have a light shade. I'll continue then in the opposite direction, I repeat this shade, my work would actually be very soft. I will go in the opposite direction of my previous layer of shades. See, I go like this. And then very slowly, they would look really cohesive. That's like it. Also, I've got a line over here. I will transfer it into shades. I don't want any separated or specific lines. I'm actually fading this shade toward inside as well. It shouldn't be as lines or it would look very fake. Okay. Then I also fade this line toward again, the inner part up to some levels. I'll continue. Okay. Then I'm going to work on the next round of the clock, which is here. I'll have another round, another circle area. Just try to be very neat and try to create exactly as the circle it is, okay? I come all the way up and down again. Just like this one. Here it goes. Okay. Now I will create a very soft and light shade from here. And then as I get to this edge, my shade would even get lighter. It's just like it's fading into the, into the light, not into the darkness. So you see, it's just like that. Okay? I am trying to keep the white places because these are very lights. And I try to keep them and place my darkness right next to them in order to show the shine of Y material. To create this shine and keep it, I keep the white and I darken right around it. Over here as you can see, I'm creating darker shades and I'm leaving some parts next to them, totally white and light. Okay, here it goes. Now, very slowly, I drag this darkness to the site. Okay. 6. Shading of the metal body of the clock: Hello again and welcome to the next part of this tutorial with me. Okay, let's continue from where we left off. I was dragging the darkness very slowly upwards. Okay, from right over here, I start applying more darkness and I start fading them as well. I also create a linear shape so I can show the shine of this metal in the direction of that curve. Okay. In these parts, I'll do it really light. And I lighten. This whole area you see just like that. I'll do my fading over here. I come all the way over here, faded slowly. I also continue this darkness up to here. It goes like this. Also from the slower area. I'll do the same thing right up to here. I completely make it circular. I'll continue my shading very cohesively up to here. Okay, then I move toward the left side of my clock. Over here, I should consider a very thin area this way, that when it comes down, this distance will actually just go away. Of course, little by little, but it will go away. I increase the darkness of this area a bit. This light can actually show itself. See, my dear friends, the lights and contrasts can actually show themselves when they are next to the darkness. If there is no darkness, the light is not going to show itself. Okay, Then over here I'll just continue the same thing. Then again, I'm going to apply very dark shades for some parts. Then with a bit of distance, I'll create a lighter shade. You see this darkness that have appeared here is actually the reflection of this bell on top of it, which is actually showing here As a reflection, I'll faded in this upper area like that, and here is how it looks, just like that. Also in this area, I create this dark shade and I mix it over here. I blend it over here, just as beautiful as this. Okay, Now also for this lower area, I'll do my shading too. From here. Again, I consider another darkness for my work. See. Just like that, so easy. Now I just make this whole area soft and smooth. Okay, Now we want to work on the other parts of this clock. For example, in these parts we start shading. First of all, I'm going to work on these semicircles which I have on my clock's body. I would know where it starts, where my shadings are start, and where they end. I do not want to work with this area right now. This is the lower part of the clock in this shape. Again, over here it's not really complete. I should complete it and then I can do the rest. Okay? Then I apply the next semicircle in its own placement in this way. Okay, Then little by little, I should start my shadings. See from here I should come down and get the shadings. Over here I have a light shade like this one up to the lower area. Then inside of this contrast, inside of this light and darkness that I create, I should also apply some darkness just in this way. Then again, also from these parts, I'll do the same thing with a bit of distance. I create a very strong contrast and a very strong darkness here. You see from this lower part, I just get it as dark as possible. As it comes up, it gets lighter. Very slowly, I create this shape very dark on the bottom. As it comes up, it gets lighter just like that. And here it goes. I also do it in this direction as well. Just like that, I fade the darkness from the bottom to the top. You see it's getting shaped perfectly, very cautiously, and with a lot of patience, you should do that. You can get this beautiful tonality. All right. So here it goes. And just as beautiful as this one. Okay, now you see, I told you the rest of this darkness should be created because as I told you, this is the shadow of my bell, which is seen here. Create the rest of this shadow. I'll come and I'll shade it in a curved and circular shape. I come all the way down to here. I have this hatching over here. It's very busy shades underneath this bell with a lot of hatches. Then I also create another darkness over here that the bell is separated from this area. Okay? And then right from here I get the darkness that I wanted here. I can create the absolute darkness that I wanted. You see, little by little, this beautiful metal texture is being created in our work because we keep the shine and all the other stuff. Okay. Also from here, I work on this darkness. And then again, I would want to work on this area. Okay, Before we work on this part, I should work on the lower part as well. And a little bit of this is I have a light shade again. From here I create a very strong darkness. See, just like that. Here it goes, I create the shade. And I come down, I'll fade it just as easy, as beautifully as this one. Okay, now you see in some techniques like pencil or colored pencil or crayon or anything like this for creating the light. We need extra tools. But when you're working with pen, it's just only a pen with that you should create light, you should create textures. You cannot use an eraser. You want to say this is a very easy technique. It doesn't need any tools. Therefore, it also doesn't need any extra costs for getting these extra tools, because the only thing that you need is a pen. It's a easy technique. Therefore, if you practice and get the skill that you need for this technique, this technique can be really enjoyable for you. Here I fade this darkness over here in this area, you see a fade this shade over here. You see these beautiful contrasts are actually the things that gives me my metal texture, gives me the correct material texture. I would also use some dark spots over here. I can also show some kind of a rust on my alarm clock. Okay, here it goes. Okay, now for the rest of this tutorial, you can see the next episode with me. 7. Completing the drawing of the clock and starting the shading of the glass: Hello again and welcome to the next episode of this great tutorial with me. Okay, now let's complete this beautiful clock altogether. So I come over here for the next semicircle, and again, I create a very general shade up to here, just like that. All right, And I'll continue that until the top. Just one thing you see, I shade circulary and then I'll fade it. I create this shade and I fade it. Okay. I would also create this bottom part of it over here. The darkness that I can see here is also applied here. It goes again from the upper parts. These upper areas, I fade the darkness and it would look like this. Let's see, I've got some lines over here just to show some shine in this, in this part of the clock. These are actually detailings that can help me complete my work and it would look like this then. Okay, then I have the rest of this darkness over here. I create a very dark shade. And then very slowly I faded into these upper parts. In this way, I'll just make my shadings more cohesive. Then for this upper area, I'm going to use this part from underneath the bell and I create a darkness, a very strong darkness, which can also show the shadow of the bell. I drag it downwards. I also keep the shape and the direction which is curved like this. On over here, I create another shade. Then I would also shade this area beneath the bell. I try to do it very cohesively, It would just look like this. Then I come all the way down over here, it just say light, I just create some textures for it. Therefore, it would have some shine. I would also shade this area for it, and that's it. Then I want to work on this area. Below my clocks. Bottom part. That's right from here. I should completely darken my work. See, I've got a total darkness up to here. Okay, I'll continue the same way. I just keep the same process all the way in these areas. And then I also want to work on this area once more to make this darkness more circular, keeping the shape up. Okay, so just as easy as that, I also create the shading for here for the clock's leg and it would be really easy. Now for the other leg of the clock, I'll do exactly the same as I did for the other one. I just shade it like this. Okay. Now, from my clock, there is only this part left over here above the bills. So I'm going to complete it as well over here. I can also have another one I also created here. And I come all the way up here. Okay, so I apply the darkness in their own placement and then I consider a very general shade for them and I created just as attractive as this. After going through several steps, we have completed our clocks sketch. Okay, now we are going to work on the rest of the area. We don't only have a clock, we also have several other objects that we should work on now for the next part. First of all, I want to work on the glass that I have here. The glass is actually made of glass. In this sketches that I have different objects next to each other and I have different textures. It's better to start with the textures and with the things which are more in front, then you can work on the objects which are in the back for creating the. Be careful about the fact, or you should remember the fact that the texture of the glass is very similar to the texture of the metal. Wherever you can see a spot, you should actually put it in place. Keep the lights, keep the darkness wherever it's possible. Okay. I get the general shape of my glass. Now I want to do its shading. See over here. I also have The water inside of it. Now from here, very slowly I start creating any darker spots that I see. I created as the amount, as the exact same amount as I can see in my model. I apply the darker spots as well as that. Now with a bit of distance, this spot is actually getting repeated. And repeated, coming over here in this area, it goes like this. See, it's only enough that you create all these spots in their own correct positions. It's not hard at all of some of the things that are really important, especially in these textures that you have to create a spot is that you can look at your work. Because if you see your work well, you can definitely create better. You should try to learn how to look at things well. You can actually look at it, not just see your model. Because if you can do that, if you can't do that, if you can't look at your work well, you cannot examine it. Therefore, you might lose lots of precious details If you have this problem that you can't see your work really well. You should work on different models as much as you can actually earn this skill so that you can actually look good. I apply the strong darkness in all these parts as it goes. And I'll continue all the way here. See I'm creating these spots exactly as I see them. And I'll do them in their own placement. I try to keep the lights as I move on. And then with a bit of distance, again, I apply darkness. I am applying darkness and light. Light and darkness. Now, let's see the rest of this tutorial in the next episode. 8. Completing the shading of the glass and starting the drawing of the book: Hello again and welcome to the rest of the tutorial with me. All right, now we are going to continue our work. You see in the central part, I have more darkness that I'm just going to create. Then like that, I come all the way down. Then with a bit of distance, I have some spots, some darker spots like the ones that I'm creating. Here we go, You've done a part of our glass. Okay. Now, I would also shade this area very lightly, horizontally, just to create a very light shade. Then I create some darker parts in some areas, up to here, up to this upper part of my oval, which would be technically the top of my water or above the water. Just applying these darkness as you can see in their own placement as you know. I'm always keeping an eye on my model. I come all the way up, it would look like this. I'll take it up to here. Okay. I try to keep the dark spots in my work and I try not to lose any of them as much as I can. Okay. I also shade upwards very lightly, but as it comes down, it should definitely get lighter. See, looking like this. I'll continue all the way down until I hit the water area. From here, I bring down this darkness. And then slowly I faded in this lower area. Also can consider this darkness from the left side toward the center. Also in here, I should continue that. Okay, Right in this direction. I just apply my shade. As you can see, I'm doing it very softly and smoothly. I should also pay attention to the fact that I should keep this area as the bottom of my glass. Then I come up again and down. I create these ups and downs. And the pattern that I can see for the bottom of my glass, don't forget to apply it. It's what gives your work more dimension and more volume of, okay, we apply some of the spots and then fade them and we continue. Now the darkness of here would be placed like this as the shape of a light spots right next to each other to create a great contrast to create the texture of glass and water. Just as I told you before, for these textures we need real high contrasts, strong darkness next to strong light. We'll create that for us also. It's the same over here. I just shape the bottom of my glass exactly as I can see it in my model. I'm not just creating it out of my imagination. As you can see, I'm doing it based on my model. Then I would also create these shapes here. Then I will fade this area as well. See this is actually the rest of this strong darkness that I've already had on the top of my glass. I should continue the rest of darkness. It wouldn't just stop, It's a reflection. I should have that in here either. And I would fade it at the bottom of my glass, try to keep it on the same track. But the color is a bit different because it's in the water now. It would get a little lighter. Then again, I'll do the same thing for the rest of the darkness that I had on the upper part of the glass. I'll just continue them on the lower part of the glass to complete my whole shape. You should be able to control your hand pressure as well. Then you should have a high hand pressure in the beginning of your line as you're moving downward toward the bottom of the glass. Slowly and step by step, you should reduce your hand pressure. This way you're going to get these beautiful shades strong in the beginning, really weak and low in the end. That should be the procedure of your hand pressure in creating the darkness that you need for this lower part of the glass. Some people might think that creating glass texture is too hard, but it actually is not. It's actually one of the easiest things to do. It doesn't have any special tricks. The only trick is that you see each spot, you place it in its own position, in the right position, and you just created a light together next to each other. You should create strong darkness and strong light right next to each other to create a higher contrast that would give you the texture that you want. I'll continue all the way down. I will shade this area also in different directions, therefore, it can get totally faded in my work. So here it goes. Over here, I've got another dark spot and I come all the way down. Okay, I would also shade this central part of the water as well, but I try to keep some parts darker. Okay, here it goes this way. I got both the textures of my water and my glass, they look pretty well. And also a darkness for here, which is curved like this over here. I've got another one, then I just create this cohesive shape for my shades all over the glass, because I want them to be cohesive. I don't want just a stains of color all around my work. Okay, then I complete this area, the open part of the glass, which needs a general shading and also several curved darker spots. But as you can see, it's a very thin area. I do my shadings thin and light as well. It looks pretty Okay. Now that we've done that, we can work on the next part which is creating the two books and the candlesticks. I would start from the lower book first. Let me determine its area. I can do a frameworking for it to see what areas it covers. It comes right toward the clock. From here, it looks like this. And it'll continue this way. As you can see, most of my corners are around. Try to do the same thing, because as I told you in the beginning, it also shows that your books are a bit old and dingy. I'll continue the rest of this line to also framework the upper book. We know the territory and the area which contains the book. This can really help us in doing the shadings. It will be like this and these are the rest of my book pages. Okay, Then from here I'll create several lines coming down which kind of looked like some designs on my books cover. And I also do it on this upper area from here. Okay, now for the rest of the Sutorial, follow me next episode. 9. Drawing and shading of the first book: Hello again and welcome to the rest of the tutoria. Okay, now let's start again, and this time we want to work on the books. I'm going to start right from the center here, the corner here. I'm just going to start with a very light shade, right over here next to the clock. As you can see, I'm doing it very faintly and bringing it down to my work. Okay. Now, slowly I try to place the concentration of the darkness on the top. And as I move down, I'll fade it like this one here it goes. In this part, I also have another light shade. Okay. I consider darkness for over here. And then I create a lighter shade right next to it for this area. For the cover of the book, I just darken this line a bit more. I can show the difference between my colors in this area. They won't just get mixed up. Then I'll shade this area completely. Okay. Now I am applying the shade over here, and it's darker next to my clock. And as it goes toward the book itself, it gets lighter and faded. When you darken this area right next to the clock, it actually shows that the book is behind the clock and the clock is more in front. That's why we darken this area next to the clock. And then we faded a toward the book itself. Okay. Then I also create some very light lines and very close to each other. Now I want to create the designs and the patterns on the book cover. See, I'm just creating them easier than it is in the model. You can do it as well, creating some easier patterns on the books cover. See, I like this one. Here it goes. And working over here. Okay. Now I would also consider some more beautiful details for these areas just to make it a bit more pretty. I'll do this also over here. I'll do the same thing, saying that it looks pretty. But in some places I want to add more darkness. I can just get that too wide shape out of it. I don't want any areas to stay too white or too light. I just generally went over the whole area to give it a very light shade, making them more cohesive and realistic. As you can see, I am going over some parts. Making them darker. Much darker. Okay. Now, I increase the darkness for this part. I can show that this area is lighter basically. I'm darkening around it, so I can show this part is lighter. I will create darkness toward the right side and you should definitely be careful about the glass area. Do not cross the line of the glass and go inside of it, making any more shades. Right from the top, I start with a strong darkness. And as I come down, I try to fade it. And I'll do the same thing from the bottom. On the bottom, I go strong with the darkness. As I move up, I fade it, making it a bit more lighter, you see while at the same time I'm doing some frameworking on the sides and edges. I won't cross any lines and I'll make sure that the shades are faded toward the correct direction. Actually, I'm hatching this area and I'm shading with continuous shades and hatches, and they are really close to each other as well. I want to make it a bit soft. Okay, Here it is. Then from behind the glass, I would also consider a bit of darkness for my work. As you can see, I'm applying these shades very faded. Not all of them. I mean, the ones that are in the middle. Then I'll continue my shading and then from the top, very slowly, I fade the darkness. See how easy it is. Okay. Then I move to the next part of my work, which is the other side of the book. Actually, I start shading right from here, next to the glass. Then cohesively, I start shading in several different directions. Then right from behind the glass, I create the darkness and I faded toward the rest of the books cover. Basically, it would be dark on this side, on the edge. The border between the glass and book should be darker. It can show the glasses in front of it, and at the same time, a two separate things. I'll continue. I also complete the shade over here in this area and making it all more cohesive. Okay, here it goes. You should have control on your hand pressure. Your shadings would actually be created softly and very beautifully. I'll continue the same process. I'll complete my shades totally. Then from this lower part of the book, from the bottom of the book, I try to create some more darker shades toward up. As it goes up, I make it lighter. It's basically a dark shade which came up and got faded in the lighter areas, just like that. Okay. I should increase the darkness around here, which should actually show it's in the continuus of the book. Also over here, I have different lines which I shade and create at the same time. Then again, right from the bottom, I consider a shade for it. Basically, I'm considering dark shades from the bottom and from the top. In the center, in the middle, they would be lighter. I'll do the same thing on this part two, from this bottom part of the upper book. I'm going to go darker as I move down. I faded. It should be really dark. It should have very strong darkness right around the edges of the book, which is above it or on it. Better say this is under another book. It should be darker, especially showing for the part that is showing the border between the two books. Okay, I'll continue this part as well. Seeing your sh should look more cohesive. You cannot just put some stains or create any borders between your shades. The dark light, you should just fade them into one another. I just continue shading in so many different directions. Therefore, I can erase all the traces of my pen. And at the same time, I would actually blend all these colors together and get a great cohesive shade. Okay, right from the bottom, I try to do my work with a higher hand pressure. Now in this area, with a bit of distance, again, I would apply this shading. See, I'm going really dark over here. Here it goes. I totally darken it all the way down. I also have to shade on the edges as well. I continue this darkness the same way in this white area. I should create the exact same pattern that I've done for the other end of the book. Very slowly, I try to follow the pattern that I had already created there. This time I'm going to create them over here on this end of the book. Should try to get the pattern exactly as I did for the other side. You should pay a lot of attention to your own design if you've changed it, If not, you can attention to the model. Okay, so here it goes. I'll continue until my pattern and my design would look exact same as I have on the other end. Okay. I will consider some parts darker and I'll consider some other parts later. Okay? So basically I try to do the same thing. I also create the lines over here and create this pattern in between these lines. Okay? I'll just pattern it and design it this way. Okay? Now in some parts I'll consider stronger darkness. And then I go over it generally once to get it a cohesive shape and making it all blend together, I just shade it, generally to make it cohesive. And then I work on some parts and make them darker. That's it. We are going to continue in the next episode. 10. Drawing and shading of the second book: Hello again and welcome to the rest of the tutorial with me. Okay, now we are going to continue the tutorial altogether. Okay, I start from the corner of my work again to work on my second book. Right from here I apply a very strong darkness. As I move up, I try to decrease this darkness just a little, not too much, just a bit darker. It means that here in the bottom, it's absolute darkness. But as it goes up, it gets one degree lighter. Only one degree. Again, I emphasize on the darkness of these areas, so I can show that this book is on the other book. Therefore, it also has a shadow on the book beneath it. Okay, then I start shading my books cover. First, I just create a general shade here from this side. I'll do the same thing. I shade it, generally, not focusing on any specific parts. And then right behind my glass, I try to bring some kind of darkness into my shades. Okay. Then over here I'll continue the rest of my shading. See. Okay. Now I would want to work on the books pages first. I should start again on the corner of the pages, then I'll give it a very light shade. I can show that there are pages on top of each other and it has a volume and dimension. As you can see, it's darker on the corner. As I move toward the center, it gets a bit lighter. Then I go generally over all of this area, I can show it. Then I should emphasize on some other lines so I can show there are actual papers on top of each other that have created my pages. Okay. Just like that. Then from behind the glass, I try to even increase the darkness upwards a bit more. And that's it. Over here, I have another, another page. Now over here, again, I'll try to show the same shades that I've used for this other side to indicate they are book pages. Okay. Then I consider a darker shade for this area. Then also I create a shade over here. I should create even the shadow of this first page on the page underneath it. That's why I darken that area right in the center of the book, I should have a very strong darkness because that's the part where the pages are actually glued together. After creating the strong darkness right in the center, I'll faded through dragging it out toward the center of the book. Toward the center of the page, I mean. Okay. Now again, I start shading in the opposite direction, you see. Here it goes. And I'll complete it really easily. I also try to fade this shade upwards toward the other side of the pages as well. Then from here, I try to create some lines and shades in order to show that we also have pages standing up on this side of the book. I'll continue in this way. I also want to shade all this area. Just be careful that this page is actually the page which is in the front. Therefore, it should be much more lighter comparing to the pages behind it. Therefore, I just give it a very general light shade with a very low hand pressure. And please control your hand pressure over here. It doesn't get actually very rough. Your shading over here should not look rough. It's a page. It should be really soft and smooth. Try to control your hand pressure and do it lightly and smooth. Now I should work on these pages behind it. As I told you, these pages should be darker, and from each page to the next one, I start creating a darker shade, just as you can see here. I'll continue. Then again, from this paper, from this page, I go toward the one underneath it, or in this case you can also say behind it, just like this, Very easily I'll do my work. I'm almost done with shading the pages here. As I said, I'm almost done. I just have to give it some more shade. As you can see, it also has a shape of writing in it. You don't have to actually write in it, you just have to create some zig, zig, zag, darker spots. Of course, to show that there is some writing here, the only thing that you should worry about is that all of them are on the same level and on the same track. You can show that they are written on the same line. You shouldn't just create one higher and the other one lower respect the distance in between them. You can show these are words written next to each other with a good space. In some, especially toward the end, you can only just add some dots and that would be enough. That would be the detailing that you want. Okay. In some parts I'll go darker and in some parts I'll go lighter. It doesn't matter too much, but it's good. If you can do it this way, I can show that there is some writing in this book. Then with a bit of space, I try to create even the title of the book. That's it. See how betifully it's done. So don't worry too much about it. Just let your hand does its job. And sometimes even go easy, just have to create some touch ups over here creating some more darkness on this side of the book. I also create some lines on this side of the book, on this page, so I can show there are some very faded writings. I'll continue the same way I'll finish my books right here. Then I want to work on my candlestick. I've got to create that too right now. I'm going to start working on that. Just like the other parts, I'm sure it's going to come out great. I go over all the parts and all the areas. This would be the bottom of my candlestick. I am determining all these parts around it, as you can see from here, it comes down. This is the top part of my candlestick. I'll continue it so I can get the basic framework of it. The last part is obviously the candle itself. Now, when I want to do the shading, I would definitely start right from the bottom exactly as I worked on my clock. I would work on my candlestick because they have the same texture and they have the same material. Therefore, I should create some very strong darkness in some parts. In some other parts, I should go really light in order to get that a metal texture. For my candlestick, for example, right in the corner, I create absolute darkness. Right next to it, I have a very strong light area. See, the procedure is basically the same as my clock shading. Then with a bit of distance, I come a bit more higher, then I create a very mellow shade here, a very light one. I'll cover this area darker. I also consider some horizontal shades for my work as well. It should shade in different directions. If you remember, then I come for this area here, which is wider on the top and the bottom, and it's thinner, more narrow in the center. Again, I apply, my darkness faded downward. That should be faded on both ends. For continuing and finishing this tutorial, let's follow us in the next episode. 11. Candlestick shading: Hello and welcome to the last part of this tutorial with me. Okay, in this episode, we are going to complete the candlestick together as we were working in the previous. As you can see, I am creating these shadows in a really high contrast, but I'm placing them in their own correct position. Slowly, I bring them down, it looks like this. I'll fade it in these parts. The direction of your shading is very important as well. Because you should show that there is a curve right in the middle of this area. Your directions should be in the same way. I place a strong darkness at the top. I bring it down, I make it in the middle again. On the bottom, I'll make it dark again and thicker. Now very slowly, I am doing the fading for this area. And then on the sides I try to create a very fine line. And then I'll fade it a little. See, okay, here it goes. Now, from here, from the bottom part, I'll continue this way, and then slowly I'll do my fading at the same time. See I also create some lines like this so I can show more shine in my work. Just as this one I come down and right here in the middle, I want to make it darker a little bit more. Then I place a bit of space here. Again, I'll try to do the same thing on this area. And I start shading right from here. I'm going to shade this area circular, just like the one I'm doing right now. In this area it would be darker and then slowly lighten it. Okay. So just like that, I place the strong darkness and then I can move to the next part of my candlestick. Again with a bit of space from the top. I start shading downward. See I left the part right on the top, and then I'm doing the rest of the shading. Moving down, I go on the top. And as I move, I try to lighten it a little and faded right on the sides and edges see like this one. So I also shade from the sides and the edges. And I come all the way down, right over here. Okay. Now I'll do the same thing from this corner, similar to the parts that we've worked before. I'm going to shade in different directions on these upper areas. My shadings are darker, just as you can see them. The corners are darker as well. When I come more toward the center, I decrease the darkness. Here it goes. Now, I'll place a bit of space here. Again, lightly again, I bring a very soft darkness into my work. As you can see, I'm placing these lights next to the darkness. I can have a higher contrast and better material. Or better say better texture. Okay, so here it goes. Then I will shade from the top, toward the bottom, and vice versa, so I can get that cohesiveness in my work. Because if you don't shade in different directions, they look all the same and you can see the traces of the pen and they are separated and we don't want that. Then at last, I'm going to shade the candle lightly because, you know it's a very light thing. I just shade it very lightly, like this one. As you can see, I am creating my hatches very close to one another. Then I will actually try to shade the flame now from a strong darkness. I'm going to shade over here where the flame has started. And as I go toward the upper parts of the flame, they would be really light. Just as easy as that created a flame. Okay, just as easy as you could see. We've finished this beautiful sketch with the pen. As you can see, we've done all the materials, we've got all the textures. I hope you've enjoyed it as much as I did. And till the next time, take care and enjoy sketching.
