The first step in drawing a songbird is to outline the songbird. The order of the hook line is generally from the mouth seam, and then hook the mouth line, the lower mouth line, and then hook the eyelids, the upper head, the head, the back, the shoulders, the wings, the waist, the upper tail, the tail, the chest, the abdomen, the lower tail tube, and the toddler. This is the order of the songbirds.
To draw a songbird well, you must first draw your mouth, eyes, and paws.
(i) How to draw the mouth of a songbird. Hook the mouth of the songbird, must use a relatively straight wolf pen, use the center to hook the mouth of the songbird's mouth, this line is required to be straight ink color to be full, the pen edge must be strong, so that the strength of the songbird mouth can be shown through the hook mouth. Then go to hook the upper mouth and lower mouth, the upper mouth line and the lower mouth line mainly show the hardness of the horn of the songbird. The mouth is a cone, and its three-dimensional sense is to be outlined by our three or four lines. When hooking the beak, whether it is three lines or four lines, it is still more able to perform. When performing birds, when hooking the mouth, be sure to hook the cone, corner texture, hardness, and strength. Different birds have different shapes of their mouths.
(ii) How to draw the eyes of a songbird. There are two ways to hook the eyes of songbirds, one is a single-line hook and the other is a double-line hook. Single-line hooks, generally in the ancient paintings of the Song Dynasty paintings are more expressed, most of the people now are double-line hooks, especially when the gongbi flower and bird painters hook the eyes of songbirds, most of them are double-line hooks. Hooking the eyes is actually not difficult, mainly because the position of the eyes of the songbirds is more learned, and the position of the eyes of different birds is not the same. For example, the eyes of songbird birds are relatively front, the eye group of waterfowl is relatively backward, and students pay attention to different birds when observing life, and the position of the eyes varies widely, hoping to pay attention.
How to draw the wings of a songbird. Wings are a major manifestation of songbird strength. Songbird wings, there are clam feathers, primary flight feathers, secondary flight feathers, tertiary flight feathers, and large clam feathers, and small wing feathers. Composition of feathers, .
Winglet feathers and primary flight feathers are the two main entry points to show the strength of songbird wings, winglet feathers are hooked out with very powerful lines, and the same is true for primary flight feathers, but when hooking, you must use the center to not use the flanking, virtual in and out, when the two pens of the feather tip are wired with each other, pay attention to the connection of those wiring. In addition, the feather shaft of the feather, its straightness, curvature, and strength, I hope to pay attention to when hooking.
(iv) How to songbird paws. Here is only a reminder, when depicting the bird's claws, with the strength of the pen, the steel of the line, we must pay attention to, can not be soft, can not be as if the bird's claws are folded, must be the strength of the bird, the line of the claws is well. Moreover, when hooking the claws, pay attention to the small meat pads of the toenails of the claws, be sure to hold the nails, and cannot draw the meat pads on the root of the nails, so that the nails will be folded somewhere.
