Sketching still life is the most basic course for learning sketching, and mastering sketching skills is the key, so drawing still life well is very important for beginners in drawing. Let's learn the sketching steps of a simple still life by drawing two bottles in different forms, see what the different forms of bottles have in common and different places, and what problems need to be paid attention to when painting.
Let's take a look at the painting steps of the first bottle, which is a relatively fat beer bottle, in the process of painting, ignoring the logo and decoration on the bottle body, which will help students understand the volume of the whole bottle and will not be affected by these details.
Painting tools: pencils of different models, 8-carat sketch paper, eraser.
The first step is to gently draw the large outline of the bottle with a 2B or HB pencil, paying attention to the change in circular perspective of the bottle mouth, the middle part, the bottle base, and these parts.
Step 1
The second step is to use a 2B pencil to spread the dark side of the bottle through the tone, and the picture should show a clear chiaroscuro contrast.
Step 2
The third step, from this step onwards, should slowly increase the boundary between light and dark, and gradually find out the level of the dark side.
Step 3
The fourth step, this step with 4B or 5B pencil in-depth portrayal of the dark part, the light and dark junction line and reflection to the best degree, this step or do not draw the bright side, the dark side after the completion of the painting of the bright side, pay attention to the light and dark junction line to have a virtual real change, the more down the light and dark junction line the more virtual, the shadow also pay attention to the virtual real change.
Step 4
The fifth step to portray the bright part of the bottle, it should be noted that the light and dark tones of the upper and lower parts of the bottle are changed, and the changes are very subtle, which requires careful observation by beginners.
Step 5
Above is the painting step of a beer bottle, below is the painting step of a beer-shaped bottle to see what is different.
This bottle is biased towards the circular volume, and the above bottle is basically cylindrical, so this circular volume is slightly more difficult to draw, we usually draw geometry, the cylinder is simpler than the sphere, let's see how this bottle to perform.
The first step is the same as the beer bottle above, using a 2B pencil to draw the outline of the fat wine bottle.
The second step separates the light and dark of the fat wine bottle, and notes that the middle shape of the bottle is a circular sphere, so when looking for the bright and dark dividing line, look around the sphere.
The third step is to strengthen the light and dark junction, pay attention to where the light and dark junction is real, where is virtual, generally the edge of this spherical bottle should be virtual.
The fourth step, like the beer bottle above, deeply depicts the dark side of the bottle, the reflection of the bottle is very subtle, and the entire chiaroscuro line should be layered.
The fifth step depicts the shadow of the still life alone, the shadow has obvious characteristics of near reality and far away, and the farther the shadow, the shallower and more virtual.
Finally, the bright side of the fat bottle is portrayed, pay attention to the tone on the bright surface, the line should be painted along the structure of the sphere, and the line cannot be arranged arbitrarily, and the structural tone can show the volume of the body more intensely.
Step 6
The above is the drawing method of two bottles, for beginners is very suitable for copying and practicing, beginners can try to draw a picture, if there is any problem that does not understand can be left in the comment area, I will give you a detailed explanation, like the small partner to quickly collect it, usually to practice more to progress fast Oh.
