Why can't I draw colored lead drawing ?
Every time I see someone posting colored and pencil paintings in my circle of friends, I am so envious of it.
Then the first thing is to go to Taobao to buy colored and paper
If you want to do it well, you must first sharpen your tools
, and finally wait for the express delivery ~
Don’t mention being so excited, I feel that I am already a master of colored and pen painting
sharpen the pen...sticker...
Then...and...where to start?
simply danced on paper
resulted in a few seconds and drew a "chicken eating rice picture"...
I don't know where to start
to draw to the end
and then...
No more than that
Most children's shoes have the colored lead dream of stranded
I believe many students have had the above experience
In fact,
You are all surprised by the bones The painting genius
is just missing a secret
So
Painting Master will now make a secret to colored lead painting for all the geniuses who are surprised by the bones.
Tools and materials for colored lead paintings.
If you want to do it well, you must first sharpen your tools.
As students think,
The first thing you need to prepare for painting is tools and materials.
Without a sword, how can you start practicing?
Let's take a look at what tools and materials need to be prepared for colored lead painting:
colored lead, diamond pen sharpener, hard eraser, soft eraser , pen curtain
colored lead
colored lead
colored lead oil-based colored lead and water-based colored lead. Oil-based colored lead will be softer and has stronger coloring (easier to draw on paper). There are many options for colored lead brands on the market. The better colored lead brands include: Marco, German Shidelou , British Deyun, German Faberga , Czech Cool Joy, Swiss Carda, Netherlands Van Gogh, German Swan, Japanese Mitsubishi , Japanese Holbein. Please pay attention to these brands. Except for Marco, the rest are all imported. It’s not that I don’t support domestic colored lead. Except for Marco, the other colored leads in "Made in Yiwu" are really not a good idea. They either cut them off or even cut the paper but still can’t draw them. Therefore, when choosing colored lead, you should pay attention to the price and quality.
This secret book uses 48 colored Faberjia water-soluble colored lead (good cost performance).
Drilling Pencil Sharpening
Drawing colored pens does not require using a utility knife to sharpen the pen like sketching, just use a drilling pencil, because colored pencils need to be processed in a lot of details during the drawing process. The pencil must always remain sharp, which requires high-frequency sharpening, and drilling pencils are the best choice. diamond pencil sharpener recommended to use Deli brand is very good.
Hard Eraser
The so-called hard eraser is compared to soft erasers. In fact, it is an ordinary drawing eraser. It is best to be slightly harder, because colored pens are not as easy to erase as pencils. Before use, cut off a small piece of rubber with a knife to help wipe the details.
soft eraser
soft eraser is also called plastic rubber in painting materials. Due to its special nature, the soft eraser can only wipe off part of the color lead on the paper when rubbing it. It is generally used to wipe down places that reduce color concentration or gradient.
pen curtain (optional)
pen curtain is mainly used to facilitate the placement of pencils and to facilitate the removal of pens, which has a good protection and preservation effect on the pen.
Drawing paper
Many students think that ordinary sketch paper can be used to draw colored pendant paintings, or A4 printing paper can draw colored pendant. This understanding is wrong. Colored lead is hard and the drawing process is repeated, so ordinary sketch paper cannot be used to draw colored lead paintings. The thickness of sketch paper is often around 120K-180K. After repeated erasing, it will become wool or simply break. In addition, the general sketch paper has thicker textures and is not suitable for drawing more delicate colored pendant paintings.
The drawing process of colored lead painting is not just about using colored lead from beginning to end. If the background color is needed, it is very likely to use watercolor or water-based colored lead and then stain it with water. This requires a lot of high requirements for paper. Therefore, we choose fine lines or non-textured watercolor paper with a thickness of 300K, so we are not afraid of repeated modifications or wet with water. Many students want to ask: Is there any paper for colored lead? Answer: No.Watercolor paper is colored lead paper.
300K Fine or non-textured watercolor paper
This secret book uses the 300K watercolor paper from the Kangsong brand 1557 series (also good quality and low price).
If you just use colored and dried drawings to draw, then the above tools and materials are enough.
If you want to draw more in-depth and detailed or spread colors on a large area, you also need the following tools and materials:
color chalk
color chalk simply means colored chalk. Why do you need to use colored chalk when painting colored pendant paintings? Color chalk is generally used as a large area of color-painting or whitening in color-written paintings. That is, when we are painting colored pencils, if the picture requires a larger area of color spread, and colored pencils are not suitable for large areas to quickly spread color, we will use colored chalk to spread the color. The colored chalk has a soft texture and can be well combined with colored pencils. It is a good auxiliary material.
color chalk
is the highlights in colored lead paintings (glorious light spots reflected by light irradiation on objects) generally leave blank space, but fine white space is difficult to achieve, so it needs to be noted separately in the later stage. This requires the use of materials with strong coverage. The white of colored lead does not have the ability to cover, so other auxiliary materials can only be used, such as colored chalk.
Watercolor
Watercolor in colored pen paintings is similar to colored chalk. The difference is that colored chalk belongs to the direct drawing method (draw directly with materials), while watercolor belongs to the indirect drawing method (harmony, multi-layer hood dyeing, water staining and other techniques)
Watercolor, watercolor pen, pen shaping bottle, paper tape, cotton swab
Other tools and materials
pen shabu bottle will only use
paper tape when using watercolor. Used for sticking paper
cotton swab to apply colored lead and color powder
wooden picture board for sticking paper
water tape and watering can be used for mounting paper
paper tape and watering can
paper tape and watering can
colored lead paintings. Prepare
Selecting material
For students who are new to colored lead, they can choose some small objects at home as materials, such as toys, small ornaments, exquisite vases, etc. The reason why everyone chooses ornaments is because they do not disappear as easily as flowers and plants, so that even if your painting is too long, it will not be affected.
This lucky cat was a gift from a friend of the studio at the beginning. Isn’t it cute? Let’s use it as material to explain it to you.
sticker paper
Do not use pushpin sticker paper, nor do you use transparent tape. During the drawing of colored lead, eraser drawing paper will be repeatedly used. If you use pushpins, the drawing paper will easily loosen and affect the painting. The viscosity of transparent tape is very high, and it is difficult to tear off after painting.
It is recommended to use paper tape (also called textured paper) to paste the paper, because the viscosity of the paper tape is not particularly high, so after painting, you can remove the tape without destroying the paper. It is best to stick paper tape neatly on all sides of the paper when sticking paper. This way, after removing the tape from the work, the complete white edges can be left, and the picture will look neat and beautiful.
Coarse texture
is suitable for painting rough works
Fine texture
is suitable for painting delicate works
It should be noted that watercolor paper is divided into front sides, one side has thicker texture and the other side has thinner texture. If you want your colored lead work to be more delicate after completion, you can choose the side with finer texture.
Make a colored background
Not all colored pendant paintings have pure white background colors. A colored background will make the picture look more complete and the picture color control will be better. However, not all colored paper (papers that already have colored when bought) are what we want, so we need to do it ourselves to make the white paper a base color.
This secret uses watercolor to make colored paper.
① Make the watercolor color in advance. The quantity must be enough. If the quantity is not enough, adjust the color during the process of drawing the background color. First, it is difficult to adjust it like the first time, and second, it is difficult to connect with the background color that has been laid out.
horizontally quickly color
② Use a board brush to quickly brush the watercolor paint horizontally onto the paper. It must be fast, otherwise it will be difficult to connect the colors. After horizontally brushing, brush it vertically. This time, you don’t need to dip the paint, just brush it directly. This time is mainly to brush the color evenly and check for missing and fill in leaks. The brushing speed is also fast.
vertically rapid color layout (Teacher Yin’s shadowless hand, haha)
③ The colored paper must not be blown dry with a hair dryer. Direct sunlight can destroy the color, and blow-drying with a hairdryer will cause the background color to dry so evenly that watercolor splashes will appear. After coloring the background, put the paper in a cool and ventilated place to dry.
Painted paper (optional)
If the background color is dry and the tape on the edge of the paper appears to be raised, because after the paper is wet, it will produce a pulling force, pulling the tape on the edge of the paper apart. Then you need to peel off the paper and then remount the paper on the drawing board using water tape. If the paper edge tape is intact, this step can be omitted.
The paper tape appears after the background is dry and the tape on the edge of the paper is raised
①Tear off the paper tape
②Pre-cut the water tape about 10 cm longer than the paper edge
③ Soak the water tape into water
④ The newly soaked paper tape will be rolled, so stick one end of the wet paper tape to the edge of the table to let the paper tape become flat (about 20 seconds)
⑤ Turn the back side of the drawing paper up
⑥ Use a watering can to spray water evenly on the back of the drawing paper. It is enough to spray it a little, evenly
⑦ Put the paper face up after the spraying water
⑧ ⑤ Use a watering can to spray water evenly on the back of the drawing paper. Put the water tape on the edge of the drawing paper
⑨ In order to make the mounted paper more fit and flat, you need to use a spare painting board to press it on the mounted paper, and separate a piece of white paper in the middle to avoid the painting paper from getting dirty
The mounted painting paper is very flat
After 9 steps, the painting paper has been framed, and it should also be placed in a cool and ventilated place to wait for drying.
Drawing steps for colored lead painting
After complicated preparation, we can finally start painting! ! !
Composition
Many students think that using ordinary pencils to make pictures is also used to make pictures, and this understanding is completely wrong. It should be emphasized: Do not use ordinary pencils to make pictures when painting colored pencils! Because the properties of ordinary pencils are completely different from those of colored pencils, after using ordinary pencils to make up the picture, then use colored pencils to fill in the colored pencils. If colored pencils touch ordinary pencils, the pencil lead will be incorporated into the colored pencil color, and the picture will become dirty and difficult to repair. Furthermore, the pencil lead itself has a lubricating effect (it is difficult to open the lock core at home, just add some pencil lead to enter). The colored lead painting will slip when there are pencil leads and will not be easy to color.
should use colored leads with similar colors to the color background color to directly compose the pattern. For example, if the petals are red, use red to form the petals, and if the leaves are green, use green to form the leaves.
Colored Lead Painting Composition
When using Colored Lead Painting Composition, you need to start a lighter pen. Although colored lead can be erased, it will be more difficult to erase when using too much force.
The most important thing in composition is to draw the appearance. When drawing the appearance, you need to pay attention to the angle and proportion of the object and pay attention to the overall feeling. Don’t just look at the details as soon as you come up. Just find the outline and position relationship of the object right.
Inherent coloring
After the appearance composition is drawn, you can start coloring.
coloring is divided into two parts: one is the inherent color (the inherent color of the object itself), and the other is the environmental color (the color produced by the object being reflected by the environment. For example, stainless steel ball itself is a metallic color. Put an orange next to the ball. At this time, the color of the orange will be reflected on the stainless steel ball, and this color is called environmental color).
color lead coloring is from light to dark, that is, gently color the object's inherent color so that the object on the picture can see its original color.

This process does not only coloring, but also needs to consider the body problem, because in the first step we did not draw the body shape in a particularly well-placed and detailed manner. In this step, we slowly draw the body shape on the basis of coloring.
Environmental coloring coloring
After gradually drawing all the inherent colors of the object over and over again, we need to consider environmental color.
At this time, you need to carefully observe the object to see which places are affected by other colors, use colors boldly, and believe in your own color feeling.

In this process, we start to gradually find some details of the picture, and always consider whether the shape of the object is accurate. If it is not accurate, it will be difficult to adjust at this step.
Detailed characterization
After the inherent color and environmental color are basically portrayed, we begin to pay attention to the characterization of details.
color-leaved painting is a kind of painting that can draw super realistic works, which means that this kind of painting can be drawn in very detailed details. At this stage, we should re-write it from top to bottom, and try our best to realize your obsessive-compulsive disorder potential, and don’t let go of any details.
Details of colored lead paintings portraying
It is necessary to pay attention to the processing of edge lines of the object. Do not have burrs or rough lines in the edge lines. The edge lines should be emphasized, that is, what we call "real" in paintings, and the blurred places should not be drawn too clearly (drawing is not clear does not mean rough). This is what is called "virtual" in paintings. Whether the object is three-dimensional after drawing depends on the relationship between "virtual and real".
Adjustment
Adjustment can also be called: artistic processing.
is the process of artistic processing of the pictures that have been drawn in a more realistic way.
Artistic processing of colored lead painting
What we see with our eyes are often more objective. The above painting steps are drawn under a relatively objective premise, and this step is not as boring as the previous steps. We began to add the colors we like, or elements we think we can draw better, to the picture, making the picture both reasonable and interesting.
At this time, you can give full play to your personality. This is a process of enjoyment.
Whitening
Wait until the inherent colors and environmental colors are painted in place, we start to make the final whitening treatment of the work.
Since the items we are painting are porcelain and the highlights have a high brightness, we need to choose color chalk with strong coverage to make it white.
① Use color chalk to whiten the highlights
② Use a cotton swab to knead the gradient, so that the color chalk will be more adhesion to the paper
③ Use color pencils to fine-tune the shape of the whiten, so that the highlights can be as delicate as possible
The effect after the completion of colored pencils
is completed in this way.
summary
① Preparation is very important. You need to understand the tools, materials, techniques and painting processes used in colored lead painting
② Drawing colored lead painting cannot be completed in just two seconds. A painting may take several hours or even a few days. This requires good patience
③ It is not a painting that can draw colored lead well. It requires a certain amount of accumulation
④ You need to practice composition skills. If the appearance is not accurate, the painting will certainly not look good. The composition and shape skills need to pay attention to the grasp of angle and proportion
⑤ You should cultivate more observation skills, and after seeing the object, imagine what it looks like after drawing
⑥ Dare to add your own ideas to the picture so that the picture is no longer rigid and monotonous. Drawing is a sensory thing. The important thing is to draw the painting you like
⑦ Communication with others more and seeing master-level colored and pencil paintings
⑧ Relax your mind and make paintings a kind of enjoyment
