Transcripts

1. Introduction: Being a distinctly unique has always been my passion. And I developed that uniqueness a long time ago. My speciality is to teach to what mediums together through a single art piece. E.g. Jacqueline, graphite shading, while pasting and pencil, acrylic and watercolor together in a single argument. Hi, I'm done with the Chopra. And I'm an art educator. I have 15 years of experience teaching Fine out to students from all across the globe. From basic to advanced level. My classes, you will not only learn the techniques, but also basic so far, which are essential to get you started. Vantage of this learning scale is that it is made for beginners as well as for those who want to reach the advanced level. Will also get perspective knowledge and usage of two-by-two grid. Instead of making lots of columns. Learning tips for making a national looping at work. By working on shaded areas and highlights. These lessons will help you to create your own masterpiece using all learn techniques. I wanted to share every bit of my artistic knowledge with all of you to my lessons. I'm the founder of art ambience, an online Fine Art Institute. So don't miss these lessons and join me on this journey. 2. Material First: Losing right paper for your artwork is very important. Here. I'm going to use A4 size 200 GSM paper. You can use mechanical pencils for your sketch. You can use, which are forage graphite pencils. Blending stumps are also required. So you need a medium-size and abroad size town and a ten sites to giving white highlights. Jen white pen is also required. You can use five or eight number. Giving thin black pen touches. A black micron pen is also required. To this artwork. I'm going to teach you two mediums together. We are going to use to be graphite pencils and graphite pencil in this particular artwork. Or the medium we are going to learn from this artwork is chocolate. So we get a set of hard, soft, and medium. We are going to use these shades in this artwork. And if you have any other brand chocolate pencil, you can use those also. Giving white highlight, mono eraser will also be in use. Instead of mono eraser. If you have a pencil eraser, you can use that also. Results are required for giving proper measurements. Forgiving highlight. Kneaded eraser is also required. So you can use any brand kneaded eraser. We are ready with all the materials. Let's start with learning to art mediums together, promising a lot work. Using late pencil or H pencils is important because when we make any sketch and we have to erase it at the time of learning. Few parts. If you're using H pencil, if you're using your lead pencil, you can easily erase those things. If you need to make any corrections. They will not be any impression on the paper. If you will use any dark pencil, then there will be impressions on the paper. So graphite pencils are used to give a smoother feel in your artwork. Suppose if you will use two weeks into her art work. This is the lightest tone amongst all the pencils. Then shade increases according to the number. This has to be. If I go for it though, like this is my sixth beat. See the difference? There is darkness loves. Use ten. Then again, she has increased. It's to be six, B and C the difference. So this is how you know, before doing any work on, before using your pencils and your artworks, you know that to be gives this kind of effect than 6 ft, gives this kind of effect intently gives this kind of effect. You can use these kinds of effects in your artwork where you need medium-term, where you need light tone, where you need the darkest tone. I told you before about H shades, which are used for sketching. These are to be six B. There are other sheets also which comes in between. For b. Bye b. In this, you get seven or eight. After this you get 12, be also. So shades are increasing according to the number to base lightest. Then further, all the numbers sheets are increasing. According to that, you can give that shading in your artwork. I have explained you about graphite sheets. Now I will proceed further by explaining to you about the chocolate shades. So when I'm using my soft chalk, Wilkinson will get this kind of effect. It will be hard on paper when you will use it, but it will give them, give us soft effect. Like these are soft. But the charcoal medium will give a dark affect different from it. Not so soft and paper when you will move your pencil. As I told you, you can use any brand, charcoal pencils. So if they use other brand for my Hearthstone, launch. The soft fat. This kind of vectors coming on the paper. This is my heart charcoal pencil. And then if I use my neutral job B pencil, then this kind of effect is coming. You can see the difference. Soft Jaw. Then this is hard charcoal. This is neutral. As you know the difference of two. Now you can apply these kind of tones in your actual artwork where you need specific tones. Next important thing is using the stamp. What stamp does is make your dark to light tone or any darker tone or any medium to earn any lighter tone. It just make your work more soft and blend it nicely. If I'm using my stamp on this section, it will make it more smooth. Blend it nicely. If I use my stamp on this, six vetoed, will make it more. Smooth. Blending is done nicely. If I have given dark, too little lighter tone like this. And then I'm moving my stamp. Then both the shades dark to light in a smooth curve it you can use all the sizes which you are having stopped. So we will be using broad sample, so medium stamp also. And the next is about using erasers for giving detailed fight parts. You can use your mono eraser also, as I told. If I move my mono eraser on it for very nice detailed white line is. If you add available with pencil eraser, you can give that same effect from it also about using a kneaded eraser. It doesn't in the form of a clay. You can just take out of it. And then if you use it on a shaded area like this, tap a little bit or sometimes you can give some details making it like this. The term different effects you can get with the kneaded eraser also. So you can use kneaded eraser for giving some parts in your artwork. For this specific artwork which I'm going to teach, kneaded eraser. And mono eraser will also be getting white highlights and giving some black touches like dictate parts. So if I'm using my gel pen right on this specific part like this, I can give some slight glossy but because the Lord and giving details, then giving ten lag details, you can use black mica open button. 3. Sketch Basic: Important to understand the pig nicely. Whatever you are going to transfer on your paper. Sketching is the base. Here. I'm going to use my A4 size paper. So my dimensions of this artwork is according to that size. If you are choosing a small people, then you have to reduce it. And if you are using a big paper, then you have to increase the dimensions. You can understand your finger like this. You can measure it vertically and horizontally and write down the measurements. And then you have to double the size. Or Jim, just have to increase the size according to your paper size. I have made a rectangular shape, which is 16 centimeter vertically and 11 centimeter horizontally. You can keep marking or five centimeter here. And then draw a line. The next is 16, as I told you, vertically, do mocking, then make a line. You can do marking on two points to make it straight. Then here you can keep a gap of around four centimeter and then draw a line here. Four centimeter marking you can give on two sides to make a straight line. Here to, to give up same dimensions. Then horizontally it is 11. So just to marking on two sides here and here, then join it and make a perfect rectangle according to my artwork size. Next tip is you can make a two-by-two grid on your device also, it will help you in giving the same effect in your artwork. You can two-by-two grid. You can divide this 11 centimeter into 5.5. Do a mocking hill. And then say mocking here also. Join them. Now vertically. Divide this 16 centimeter into two parts by making a mark in your same way on the other side also. And then join them. It's very easy to make your two-by-two grid and it will help you a lot in giving the right dimensions in your artwork. When you have to transfer your image on the paper, understand each rectangle and what all things are coming in each rectangle. Like in this rectangle, part of this, I probe the scale strokes and part of ice coming in this rectangle. These all things are coming in this one, eyelashes and all, and the fibric part. So let's start with a sketch. I'm going to start with top two parts. Sketching. We will be making just a layout of all the things. Simple layout of my blow from here to here. Don't go into details much first, simple outer shape of the eye, outer shape up the fabric. To start making layout of each and every section by making a V-shape your forehead part. This one. Then simple outline. For the I broke the layout simply shape. Making sketch. Your drawing should be delight only not too dark. V-shape, slide cocktails. So what I'm observing is in each rectangular shape, whatever shapes are coming, I'm just falling it. I'm not going into details right now. But of I in this section is this much part of I in this section is only this much. This section. Eyeball part is this much, this section I will put part is this much how much the shape is taking in this part. You have to draw that. Understand each section and understand the shape, whatever is coming in that particular rectangular area. I ballpark like, but then lower part of the eye. Have a look from close. I've given up layout of all these things till now. Each section I have understood according to my image and according to the grid I have made on it. So I'm falling that grid and I'm just making each and everything according to that. Good. You can add a slight line for the light line. Following that, you will be giving some shading and then eyelashes. We'll start this much. Eyelashes, very common. This is the cheek area under age or cheek area. And then big shape. I have given a general layout of it. No detained strike. Only basic shape. 4. Shading Top Part: Now I'm going to start with the top part of the sketch, giving dark tones, light tones, medium tones. Together. We will be working on all the tones one by one in one section. The top part of the artwork. We're giving these dark tones. We will be using our soft chalk with instance. You can use any brand chocolate and support it. Often used to get the darkest tones and this is quite dark. So how to get that? Important is that we have to fill it like this. Mostly take one direction for your pencil. In this horizontal filling, you can just move your pencil horizontally also. Like I'm filling the smudge. It is not filling all the areas properly. So how we will cover all the areas now is we can use our stamp on it smoothly on the site by using charcoal. Little bit chocolate particles come. So what you can do is don't do your hand movement on it to remove it. That will create Douglas Oliver. It was margin spread. You can just pick it up and just do like this. You can just blow on it. Some particles have come out. So because this today's make up a join. To make it more dark. We can use a neutral pencil also a bit. Just to blend them in a better way. Or you can use your soft pencil again. I've done almost two layers of chocolate soft charcoal here. In the image. There is darkness here, then likewise are there. So what we can do is we will work on the dark parts first. Then we will get graphite pencil touches with it. You will be learning that they fight and charcoal how they fit together in a particular section. And one of the important thing is don't get graphite shading first and then go on chocolate part. How important is give chocolate first and then go on to fight. Sometimes you can face some problem like this. If you are using graphite first when chocolate will not move on that particular part, so important is use your dark parts which are then get them graphite touches. Again, I'm working with my soft pencil in this corner. As the darkness is little bit in a Kogi wave. Like this. My pencil should also move like this. Good Til. Then summed up, what sorts of taxes? Then you can move, so stumbles on it. Here we'll be happy to maintain some lightness so that we can differentiate between the image and the background. Some more darkness hill. So what we can do is we can apply some soft pencil mode here and then stamp movement. You can use a flat pencil for these things instead of using a shop in 11. More important thing is when you are giving off curvy shape and you are making particular part of the face like if you're making a forehead. So important is your pencil strokes. And some strokes should be according to that shape. So I'm giving little flat movement here horizontally. But when I'm working towards this section, then my strokes are going into slaves fit in this way. Move that only stump, which is little bit dark by usage. Light touches, maintain lightness or sodium. So every bird in this section we have given 1to1, little bit dark urine, medium part to give some skin affects. What we can do is using a kneaded eraser, as I explained earlier, take a small part of it and you can just gibbs lumps light touches on it. Give it gives a property racing and though it is very it is required, not erase full area. Just mildly lazy it will do and give up my touch of lightness. Now for these light parts are giving those bestest. We can use over to B graphite pencil. First, forgiving, go light, touch you. You have to erase the grid lines also. Before going further. You can use your monoid is afforded me. Go through a dope, but to be very mild touches, don't press it out. Then I'm bringing this production, my pencil. Get ready to flat to fill the broad area. Moving. I was stumped and you get smooth. Stumbled so you can keep it flat. Change direction. Still. We need to give some more lightness skill. But not every, but for maintaining that lightness. In few sections, we can still use, or again, use our kneaded eraser. What you can do is staffing. 5. Beauty of Eye: Part 1: Now we will be using graphite pencils 60 in this section to give some more dark touches, but they should look little soft and blend it on the skin part. You can use six B also, if you are available with ten dB or ATP, you can use that also. Now my 60. Moving in same direction. I'm working on more details of the skin part. Smallest Monday. And I'm giving them with my 6 ft. You can again use the stump. Also. Using stump, we can give some more soft touches. This to maintain the darkness. He'll stop again. Slow movement of some field only to blend dark and light tones. What fully cover the area. One more thing you can do with your monetarism. You can give us light touch. You maintain lightness. Video ten stamp. You can give just medium tone. More here, but maintain lightness in the corner. There are some strokes in this section. So what we can do is you can get them with graphite pencil. The standard direction of stroke. Understand how I'm moving my pencil. This much I have given to lump little bit details formatting with my Toby again, you're also might've just with my cancer. So we can easily use charcoal, angry fight mediums together to get these kind of effects. Your shading. Here, they can give me more of kneaded eraser touch. Now my sixthly, moving in the same direction. I'm working on more details of the skin part. I'm giving them with my six weeks. You can again use the stamp also. So next is giving duck buds in the hydrangea using your soft pencil again as we did the Dr. so I guess use your SoftChalk for the dark areas. Important is drop off your pencil while doing the eyebrows should be endlessly. Understand what Stokes, Gabi, some downward, he or she can move it left. And some six speak with white pencil strokes also. Use tip of your concern for giving some thin black lines. In this section, we can give a bunch of other micro black men also. See the white buds. The lightness. As I taught you, where you can use mono result, but giving these kinds of strokes so loud, that idea has come. We will be using now more ideas up in this part. There are light parts and outputs. We can still use carbon-neutral pencil, also, chocolate ones, to give some more lending in this area. So just move it slightly in between the dark, but the light bulbs, which are then getting more blended together. But you have to be able to grow that you're right but should not cover. Some more hair strokes in this part. I'm going to be strokes in this section. But these thin strokes, you can use your graphite pencil. If you want to add a little darkness here, more after chocolates, you can get some black ventricles also. Like Robin touches. In-between. There you have applied chocolates. We've been just use it to make it little more even. 6. Beauty of Eye: Part 2: As I taught you in this taylor, we have used to be graphite pencil with a medium tone or the lighter parts. So here again, let's get part has come. First. We will fill this part of a to-be. Then we will work on the dark parts about it. I have filled this time. Now I will work on more tough but also new section. You can get those numbers by using your new to chocolate pencil. Gobi, invented little bit moodier. Next is, we'll just dump the section on that. But I don't like bottles. Wasn't this movement of your pencil. You'll give depth in each section, we should understand the movement. You should understand that particular shape. This shape. I have used my pencil in this way to bring Venus. I will be getting some already, but I just also, just to make it not too dark also, much as we did neutral tensile posterior part of your strokes, we will do some opening it with pencil pure also. And then some strokes we can add on by using, again neutral pencil. And we can use black men also. Some stuff movement. When it is done. We need to give some details here also. A lot. Gobbling up the whole area with Douglas. We can use our in-between. These are all middle thoughts of overdrawing. Top part. We are almost done. Middle parts. We will be working on the I section, Oliver, skin part, yodeling. So Lord, I bought on the background, which is again with soft pencil. Now before going further. But these shading areas, what we can do is we can do our micro black belts fit in this particular section. And then we will go for the, for the shading. Understand each stroke. Next is, we will evoke on these areas the ideas behind the eyelashes, smallpox. So we will give some dark to light tones in the spot. In this section. You can use your use stump. We're just getting literally medium tone. Just use it. Your medium tone is coming. There is darkness, so we can give that again with our soft pencil. Some stumbled upon some slight more touch with your chapter in this section. Again, use your use stump. Medium tone will come here. Some soft chapel. There are some light tones here on the island. So what you can do is again, you can use the USDA for this, but just give us like touching a little bit too. There's a dark yellow to the difference between this section and this section. Some of which ability to bring that in your particular section with kneaded eraser. Just skip this slide, just make it lighter than the tone which we have given. Like Duchess. There are some reflections here. So we can give them that are neutral job with Benson. Yoda again, some neutral pencil sketches. Next is even more stamped in the spot and make it smooth. And some medium tone we will bring feel safe stuff. Go, you can leave some whitebark, but the stomach, you can get light touch. But try to maintain whiteness. As there is white portion here. We will not fill it with shading mode. With Toby. You can give a thin Tasha some more nutrients and Nickleby, me to bring that 3D bombing. More neutral droplets. Men's Olympic. Don't press it too hard. You just have to press it to get that median little bit till. There are many debates in this portion also. So what we can do is just move of a mono is an in-between. And some little bit. These patterns by using our pencil six, be authentic. Some lightness here and here. So we can work with. 7. Shading Ending Part: But this portion, again, the skin part, as we keep on doing skin patch with Toby for first-year. Again, we will use to be in this section, some movement. In this section. All of us needed, it. Touches some more neutral pencils or just in this section. Some mono eraser touches in these bots. It's excreted if you can give some pixels, some stump movement, also. Some neutral pencil touches in few buds. Some more details here. We will get them with mono eraser and then white gel pen also, we can use to give them some constant movement between these white highlights, this fabric, but there is a curvy shape here. So first we can draw it with our pencil. That is permanent darkness here. So we will be giving doctrine bit of a soft chocolate. And then these details they will get with using monoids off. Before that stump will also be used. I'm motivated been out on the spot by using your pencil. You can just give them like Dutch only this part. Moderator, you can give ten line here, which is not so visible through this camera, but you can see here. So you can just remember you're getting this much some of the portion of eyelashes coming here. What we can do it just with more light. I don't. We can give some pen touches up to using stamp here. We can use a neutral chocolate pencil also to make it more smooth, especially from the sides. And then mono eraser touches that fabric effect. Some small, small white gel pen touches here. Next is filling SoftChalk boy in this area. Same way as we are doing on the top part, middle part. And now we withdrew the bottom media stamp also in this section. Some neutral pencil touch about the section. On this side of the fabric. There are light touches in a Coby. I will teach you how to give them. You can use your stamp here and just move it here. These dark tones of soft pencil and make it lighter. And go on this direction. Right side. It will give a medium tone. You have given already dark stuff is helping us to give a medium tone. I'm seeing doctors. Important is to make them even. On the right side, there is darkness. So we will apply So chocolate Benson on the right side of it. Next step is to blend them. The dose, medium dose, a job within the dark tones you have to blend with. By using the stuff. Some mono eraser. The fabric effect, which is like there is a fault here. We have given now by using charcoal, neutral pencil over molarity is of adequate open. One thing what you can do is you can use your name. Let's not adopt for today. 8. Recap: I have created a unique style of combining what you used to get. My name's to show my unique style video or through my first listen. I aimed to teach you the basics of using the fight and chocolate medium on people to get. In my second lesson, I have taught you how to make sketch easily by using a two-by-two grid. And then I taught you how to make a freehand sketch using the 3D form. Respect to. My third lesson was about usage of two art mediums together. In top part. First, off, the sketch. My listen for and listen five is about beauty or I have explained each detail fully in these two lessons. Knowledge comes with deep understanding of a topic. And then my lessons, I fully show all my knowledge I have about my unique style. In my sixth lesson, I have covered the bottom part of the sketch. And I have taught how to give fabric effects in these kinds of artworks. Very excited to see your logic and would love to give you feedback on.
