[PDF/ePUB] Draw Like an Artist

HOW TO USE THIS BOOK There are many tools, mediums, and styles in which to draw birds and insects. This book uses some techniques I’ve learned over the years and shows the methods I’ve found most useful for understanding the basics of drawing realistically. The figures and steps can be copied directly to achieve a finished drawing, and the processes and methods can be used for drawing many other subjects, whether plants, animals, or anything else. Every subject in this book begins with solid shapes or directional lines to describe the general proportions of the subject. It’s important to establish the correct proportions in the first step. How large is the head relative to the body? What’s the general shape of the animal’s pose and main body sections? Next, gestural lines are added to show the position and proportions of features (eyes, beak, etc.), wings, and/or tail. Blocking in the Figure Step 1 Shows simple shapes to establish the placement of the head and body. Step 2 Add some contour/shape to the neck as well as some gestural lines to find the placement of the eye, beak, wings, and tail. Step 3 Shows the full contour of the wings and beak and the placement of the feet on the perch. EXERCISE: Using your favorite drawing tool, draw on a large piece of paper or chalkboard, and just practice getting smooth lines by drawing large, simple shapes. Create circles, ovals, or triangles in one long, large stroke moving from your shoulder. This is a good warm-up exercise before you begin drawing each day. TIPS FOR BETTER LINE CONTROL TIP #1: DRAW WITH MORE THAN JUST YOUR HAND AND WRIST Beginners tend to grip their pencil tightly and move just the hand/wrist. Practice loosening the grip on your pencil and moving your entire arm when you draw. You’ll find your lines become smoother and more consistent. Turn your paper if you need to, pulling down the page to create a smooth line. (It’s much easier to pull your lines down than to push them up.) Drawing large will also help.
