How to Create Realistic Animals Using Colored Pencils
By Gemma Gylling
Have you ever looked at wildlife art and wondered how the artist created the fur's shine or have you thought the eyes looked so real you believed the eye was really wet? When an artist uses the right side of their brain, it becomes easy for them to see the object that they want to create. I believe that when you start to break an object down into small sections so you see only lines, shapes and colors, it becomes easier to achieve the realistic look of shiny fur or a wet eye.
Workshop Synopsis:
Participants in Gemma's workshop will learn to create realistic animals using colored pencils. By learning to draw an animal's eye, nose, mouth and fur, participants will master the steps needed to create believable looking animals. Students will learn how some common household items can be used to blend, burnish, impress lines and create very believable animal characteristics. Gemma will share her secrets on the best ways to break a reference photo down to small manageable sections rather than viewing the drawing as a whole.
There will be a discussion on photography as it pertains to your animal/wildlife artwork and Gemma will share how to create a good composition from your own reference photos. She'll discuss the best ways to create a great drawing utilizing Photoshop to combine photos, including discussions on what to consider and how to avoid mistakes when putting an animal into a surrounding area or scene.
Later in the day, participants will be able to start drawing an animal portrait. They'll receive full instructions along with step by step photos for them to take home. When completed they'll have a beautiful animal drawing they created.
