Hello guys!
Welcome to my block.
Iron Man Mark - 2
My tools:
- Mechanical Pencil.
- HB, 3B, 5B, 6B, 9B Leads
- Moldable Eraser.
- Brush.
- Diffuser.
- A4 Opaline 180G.
The Process:
The process begins with a detailed sketch made with graphite HB, I mark in this sketch every detail, holes, and separations, this in order that nothing is overlooked.
I started by illustrating your hand, to illustrate metal it is important to highlight each reflection, in this occasion I started with dark reflections using 9B graphite
Once done the dark areas of the hand, I lower the shade of gray to make the gradient of the fingers. Then lower the tones little by little until you reach the lightest that is where the light is in the center of the hand. As it is a very small space, do not use the whole range of pencils using a minimum of 6B was enough.
I use the same tones for the arm taking good care of the light, something characteristic of drawing metal is that the dark ones degrade very little, being the change of tones very abrupt going from dark gray to white almost immediately, this effect is the reflex.
To complete the arm I used pencils HB, 3B, 6B and 9B in their respective order to make the gradients, with the blend and soften the texture.
I use blurs that are a little stained, this is sometimes annoying but this time they helped me find better tones and even helped me to make small spots on the metal that jutted out a bit. When I finished the arm I drew each dark area with the pencil 9B to begin to illustrate the body.
For the body I started by illustrating the abdomen, this area illustrates it with graphite 6B and 9B, it is the darkest part of the body, since the light comes from the hand and the chest, leaving the abdomen hidden of light, we must have a lot of observation in the image that we choose to draw and thus understand not only how we are going to draw, but also understand why the shadows are where they are.
Something that characterizes metal is that in the union of one piece with another there is a thin white reflection on the edge, which we easily do with the moldable eraser, although it is easier with the "Mono Zero" eraser (I do not have it but I'm in need of it urgently.) I also want to add, that each hole in the armor I made a small white edge made with the moldable eraser, in the direction where the light is projected, the photos do not look good but if we can detail it, it is important for the piece of metal has meaning and is not a flat element.
- Playing with everything I was explaining, I went through the drawing with great patience, finding meaning in the light and how it is projected in the metal. While we are illustrating we gradually realize these things, if we draw them by sectors as I like to do, it is much easier.
