bjbjLULU This is part 2 of my tutorial on how to Draw Bruno Mars. Just click on the
image if you want to go to part 1. 0:27- Notice that I am using a mechanical pencil. It has
thinner graphite and it helps me create subtle tones for the features of the face. 0:27 Bruno
Mars has dark brown eyes. BUT, do not be tempted to go too dark right away, try to build slowly.0:30
The pupil of the eye is darker in tone than the iris. Notice that I left a small white
space for a reflection in each eye. this is key to creating a realistic looking eye 0:35
If you havent done so already, erase the line from the top of the bowl shape that goes across
the bottom of the nose.1:00- Notice that the C shaped shadow going from the eyebrow to
the bottom of the nose has a WIDE VARIETY in tones. Press harder and use high number
B pencils (4B, 6B, 8B) to create darker tones.1:18 Watch how I use the paper stump to start the
shadow to your left. I "cross hatch" some lines, and then I spread the lines (graphite)
with the stump. If you do not have a paper stump, use a Q-Tip.1:44- A singnificant marker
on Bruno's face is the deep fold between the mouth and nose. To truly get his likeness,
you will need to get that.2:03 - "Float like a butterfly and shade like a bee"....In other
words, move around. Do not get stuck in one place. Develop your drawing evenly.2:24 The
background on the right side of his face (your left) will eventually be as dark as the shirt
tone that I just added.2:55- The paper below my hand is called a slip sheet. It allows
me to rest my hand on the drawing without smudging it.3:18- Do NOT make the same MISTAKE
I made. I RUSHED the background instead of hatching it in SLOWLY.3:50- At this point
of the drawing and shading process, your goal should be to eliminate "lines" and notice
the nuances of "edges". In other words, some shapes have solid edges, while others have
softer edges. There is often a tonal difference as well. 3:50- Watch how I use the blending
(paper) stump to soften an edge......Suggestion: Look in the mirror (right now) and notice
the tonal and physical (hardness softness) differences of your face.4:27- The highlights
and shadows on the right side of his face (your left) are very complex but important.
Notice the darkness that goes down his cheek and the four highlights. 5:09 Watch me shade
the left side of his face (your right side). It is very tricky. the dark values are very
hidden.....but they are still there.5:48- The nose is tricky. The darkest part is the
nostril. The entire shape of the bottom of the nose stays pretty light because the light
source seems to be shining up from his left. 6:28- The darkest part of the mouth is the
two corners. 6:52- My biggest mistake was going TOO FAST with shading the backgound.
When you press hard it causes a crease/indentation in the page. When the paper gets damaged,
your shading will be uneven. Youll see what I mean. 7:29- Rewind to 7:24 to see how I
use the pencil and brush to blend two DIFFERENT TONED shadows together. 8:14- At this point
of the drawing, I am going to use the high number B pencils to get the dark values in.
I am also going to use the kneaded eraser to create highlights. 9:18- If you have any
lines left (such as the one on the hat) get them out of your drawing. Look around at the
world. It is expressed in shapes or masses, not lines. The most difficult part of pencil
drawing ls realizing that you are working with a fine tip, capable of making only lines.
