Owl is colorful. Drawing with oil pastel

in #art6 years ago (edited)

Hello, friends! Unfortunately, now I have very little time for a blog and communicating with you. But I'll try, please do not lose me )))

As you already know, I love to draw. Recently I am studying a new material for me - oil pastel.

https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmSwoNjU9n4EWPodaTJtKB5A93D6g5d9RMGAUR2Fg3c3hj

I try different methods, mostly by inventing them in the process of drawing. Sometimes I completely cover the paper, making the image more realistic, and sometimes I leave the finishing touches, as in this figure.

I have long wanted to draw an owl, her eyes in photos always amazed me. Therefore, I paid special attention to the eyes in this figure. I also like her color. At first glance, the feathers of the owls are gray, but if you look closely, they have very different spots of color and shades. Since the artist's goal is to show people what they can not always see for themselves, I tried to show all the variety of gray.

When I finished drawing, I took pictures of the picture in different situations. Choose for viewing what is closer and more pleasant for your perception.

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.

Очередной интересный рисунок созданный вами. Спасибо за шаринг.

Спасибо, что заглянули, очень рада )

Wow :) That's really cool drawing! :)

Hello! I'm so glad you liked it ;)

Dear Artzonian, thanks for using the #ArtzOne hashtag. Your work is valuable to the @ArtzOne community. Quote of the week: Art, freedom and creativity will change society faster than politics. -Victor Pinchuk

She looks at the soul ;)

У меня друг коллекционирует сов... Ему дарят и картины, и статуэтки, всякие другие вещи в виде сов.
А это, наверное, ушастый филин? ;)

Это собирательный образ ) давно хотела сову нарисовать, или филина... Кстати, это открытка...

Excellent work, @marymik23. Looks very simple but it is masterfully done :)

Thank you, but this technique is quite simple, the most difficult here is the eye...

Es delicado y hermoso, Felicidades, excelente dibujo

Thank you very much that you liked this drawing!

Какие глаза......Просто завораживают!
Отличная работа пастелью!

Спасибо, @sweettais )

Обалденная сова. Эх, @marymik23, надо было со мной связаться, мы бы на Голосе запостили, как урок. Заработали бы и тут и там. Давайте мне знать и в следующий раз опубликуем!

Если бы, да кабы ))) у меня телеграм через раз работает, каким мессенджером пользуетесь кроме этого?

Ну, можете мне на почту прислать yurche...... В вайбере я тоже есть, а как контакт сбросить... по номеру телефона если 8-..........
Всё равно ведь рисуете. Зачем добру пропадать. Есть ведь этапы и других рисунков. Присылайте и опубликуем. На голосе ведь ваш аккаунт ещё дышит? )))

Я не слежу за Голосом, вы имеете вииду в попули по рисованию публикации? ) Спасибо, буду иметь ввиду. Удаляйте коммент, я записала контакты, а то спам повалится...)

Угу, понял : )

Если надумаете, напишите текстовку к уроку, я помогу оформить

Beautiful owl, you created real cute bird with very realistic eyes!

Thank you, I specifically focused on the eyes, this is the most amazing part of her head )

Очень хорошо получилось.
А мы с одним товарищем на севере сову случайно убили... (

Спасибо ) В версии товарища сова осталась жива...

Так это ты по мотивам его рассказа нарисовала?

Очень симпатичная сова!
И на таком небольшом формате рисовать толстыми мелками наверное сложно...У вас очень здорово получились мелкие детали и штрихи.

Спасибо ) да, приходится изощряться, чтобы сделать мелкие детали. Интересно было бы попробовать карандаши, о которых вы рассказывали, будут ли они смешиваться со стандартными мелками...

Мне в художественном магазине сказали, что карандаши как раз для деталей используют вместе с мелками. И что ими большие площади не рисуют. Но они имели ввиду сухую пастель, наверное...а с масляной не знаю как

Масляные должны быть очень мягкими, чтобы была возможность наносить вторым слоем, наверное нет таких. Если будет возможность, спросите пожалуйста в магазине.

Хорошо спрошу! Я нашла такой отличный магазин для художников! Там даже есть стол, где можно попробовать материалы. Я наконец-то нашла бумагу на которой мои пастельные карандаши нормально рисуют и не нервируют меня.

Хорошо у вас там ))) у нас бедненько в худ. магазинах )

Я в этот магазин заглядывала, сервис очень хороший и продавцы грамотные и увлечены сами рисованием. У них кроме сети оффлайн магазинов и через онлайн можно заказать с разными способами доставки. Посмотрите https://artkvartal.ru/

Мария, спросила, есть такие! Мне показали. Называются Derwent Drawing

Круто! Почём они?

Вот такой набор больше 2х тысяч, а 12 цветов где то полторы

Wow I love it!! Looks so great!!

Thank you for your comment! I'm very glad that you liked my owl!

What a lovely beauty! I'm an owl-enthusiast, and love every kind of these big-eyed feather-balls! Oil pastel would be a real challenge for me. Once I've bought a 24 color kit, but did not use them yet.

I'm very glad that you decided to try this material. Let's share our experience, I continue to study its properties... )

very nice!

such a nice work. How's the name of the surface where u did the drawing? I have oil pastels and i would like to try something haha I'm a drawer too!!

This is an ordinary paper for pastels, it has a slight relief. I'll be happy to watch your work!

Is this the piece you meant? It is lovely. What do you use to smudge it with? I usually use my finger or a hard oil brush. Sometimes I use a sqidgy or paintpusher for details. You can create different effects with a tiny bit of oil medium but I tend to avoid that

I mix the color only at the expense of the crayons themselves. I paint on plain paper without artistic ground, if I use oil to dissolve it will make paper fat around. How to avoid this?
I can not translate the words "sqidgy or paintpusher". What is it? )

Honesly I do not use mediums for that reason; I just use softer brands of pastels and usually a hard paint brush or my finger.

Here are paintpushers.

And Squidgees.
