Hello my friends and welcome to another Tuesday of tutorial!
I am Leonardo Pereznieto and today we will draw a starry and cloudy night
with pastels.
With a very light blue we sketch the silhouette of the hills and then, we begin drawing the clouds.
I apply it with a rubbing motion, lightly. And as you see we are using black paper.
Let’s make some more over here and then with a soft brush we go over them
to make them look soft and cloudy.
The pastels don’t hold too much to the paper so you can do nice effects like this.
And now let’s add some dark blue.
I do this especially on the lower part of some clouds,
and we go over it with the brush.
Now let’s bring some highlights by adding more of the light blue.
I imagine the border of some of these clouds.
And this time let’s smudge the color with the stump.
Because this tool gives you more precision than the brush.
Very good!
And with a kneaded eraser I can take off some of the color with precision,
to give a little bit of depth.
let´s do some more over here.
And if it looks too hard, you can always soften it
with your trusty brush.
And let’s do some highlights to the ones on this other side,
softly, and again following the edge of the clouds.
By the way, we have a drawing contest, to check it out visit www.fineart-tips.com
Now, with a rag or in this case with a chamois, we can take off and lift some of the color,
in case you want some more of the black of the paper to show.
It is like erasing and again we can soften the edges with the brush.
Very good!
Now, we make a flat edge with the eraser, to draw the trees
we draw by erasing.
They are going to be pine trees standing over there, very far on the horizon.
Up on this hill will be the bigger ones and then the rest will be even smaller.
Very good!
¡Excelente!
And finally, with the white pastel,
we draw the stars.
They will be plenty of them, especially in the areas of black,
of course.
We should make them of different sizes.
We give it the last touches…
and it´s ready!
