Hello my dear friends, followers and guests of my blog!
Today, I suggest a little understanding of the secrets of drawing with colored pencils.
Recently, I have a set of wonderful pencils Polychromos from the manufacturer Faber Castell and now mostly I draw with these pencils.
Today I want to depart a little from the fish theme and the image of yachts and boats and turn to botany. I want to present you this kind of work - poppies in the technique of drawing with colored pencils:
For all the apparent complexity, this picture is quite easy to draw. It will take only a little patience to work out the details and quality colored pencils that overlap well with the layers.
I drew this picture on kraft paper. Recently, I became a fan of the craft, I like this neutral-quiet tone. But also ordinary paper for drawing is quite suitable.
The process step-by-step
Begin drawing from the composition, determine the location of the main buds:
Next we must decide which areas of the petals will be in the light, and which in the shade. I started with light areas:
I add colors. Petals will turn out beautiful if you bring in different colors.
My bright parts of the petals I made yellow. Hence, in the light of the petals will be mostly warm tones, and in the shadows - cold. I type the color of the petals:
Having decided with the petals, with the shadows and curves of the shape, I turn to the detailing in the middle of the flowers. In the poppies, the bases of the petals are black.
I add a black color (and a dark indigo, very much I love this colour).
This will be the darkest place in the work.
Now you can "dig deeper" in detail and highlight the lightest parts:
Cold red you can deepen the shadows in the petals of flowers. Further we pass to the leaves.
Since I do not have a goal to make a botanical illustration or as close to nature as possible, and since the flowers themselves have been worked out quite painstakingly, I will make the leaves in a more flat manner, with spots.
I think the beauty of the shape and color of the flowers will be better emphasized on flat leaves.
In the leaves I alternate warm and cold shades of green.
I add a background, I draw stamens with a white gel pen.
Everything, the picture is ready!
I hope you like it!
Perfect!

Loving this! This post reminded me of when I first coloured with my faber castell colour pencils and used the same shades from the flower on my apple. Though not even half as good as this haha! Loved this!

I like how the white gel pen makes the stamens pop out from the petals of the flowers.
yes, the white gel pen very refreshing this drawing! thanks for commenting!
This painting is very beautiful and I really love the way you draw in the brown drawing sheet.
