Hello, HiveArte artists!
Today I bring you the first tutorial on how to draw animals and this time, I decided to do a flamingo.
I will show you the step by step of the sketch and later, I will show you how I color it and the materials I used. Without anything else to say, I leave you with the process c:
BOCETO // SKETCH
Paso 1: Figuras
Step 1: Figures
We start by making an oval, which will be the body of the flamingo and a small circle that will be part of the head. After this, we join the two figures with a curved line as shown in the image and already having the base shape, we place the beak and legs, which are only: a straight line and another a little twisted (in the image is explained better).
Paso 2: Forma
Step 2: Shape
In this step we erase the guide lines and start defining the feathers, legs and beak.
Paso 3: Color.
Step 3: Color.
Here, you can choose the color you want, but I chose the color that characterizes the animal. For this I used very diluted burgundy watercolor.
Paso final: Detalles y definición.
Final step: Details and definition.
Lights and shadows are very important in an illustration, so what I did was to mark some feathers with the same color I used before, but a little more saturated.
The beak I painted black with a Sharpie marker and the rest of the head I left white because I liked the contrast.
And that's it, I hope you liked my work!
Gracias por leer y observar.
