How to draw wool

How to draw wool In this tutorial you`ll learn how to draw a woolen sweater or wool in general. Just find a suitable reference you want to draw or use the one from this tutorial and follow the five steps. You`re going to need just three kinds of pencil, for example H, 2B and 5B. That`s all. If you like the woolen sweater in the drawing of Dakota Fanning, you`ll like to learn how to draw it. So let`s get started now. How to draw wool quickly and easily Step 1: Basic grid You can notice that the surface of clothes is hardly ever completely flat. Therefore you should take into account its curvature and find a way to describe it. Here comes the advice. Imagine several equidistant parallel lines on the surface of clothes. There may be some tracks to help you, like stitches, patterns and so on. Try to copy the imaginary lines onto your canvas (you may use an H-pencil). These will serve as basic guidelines for further work. outline basic guidelines Step 2: Guidelines Now that you`re done with basic guidelines, you can add some more lines which actually represent the pattern on the sweater. Take the H-pencil again. Make these lines parallel to guidelines, but in one direction only. Feel free to make them a little bit thicker and rugged this time. The space between each of them should be approximately equal to their thickness. parallel guidelines parallel guidelines (zoomed) Step 3: Mid-tone shadow If you are quite satisfied with your basic pattern, it is time to let wool grow out of it. First, you have to decide where position of a light source is. Let`s assume that our light source is above (for simplicity) and the light comes in the direction that is marked by the arrow in the picture below. Remember this direction, because you`re going to need it for the very next step. Imagine that the light shines and wool, which is not there yet, casts shadows on itself. The shadows are kind of clustered alongside imaginary lines perpendicular to the direction of the light. It`s like you would look at a deciduous forest from the air - the tree tops cast shadow on themselves too. It may seem unusual, but we`ll start with mid-tone shadows, not the mildest ones. So take your 2B-pencil. Now making the move described in the next picture try to draw uneven and randomly large clusters. Your hand slowly moves in direction perpendicular to the direction of the light - that`s why we needed to remember the direction. However, you should take into account the curvature of the surface at the same time, so when there is some rolling on the surface, the clusters are a bit contracted to make feel of plasticity. First, you have to decide where position of a light source is. Then draw uneven and randomly large clusters. ... - tailieumienphi.vn
