Bloody drawings with a simple pencil. Drawing lessons for beginners

HOW TO DRAW BLOOD..

Never draw an outline for blood! Because it will ruin everything, especially if you draw badly.

First of all, you need to understand that blood is a liquid, that it is red and more viscous than water. Naturally, it flows and, as a rule, forms smooth edges (unless the blood is rubbed and spattered). When splashed, it behaves the same as water.

Here, for example, is how a pool of leaking blood is drawn (more precisely, how I do it).
- -
Blood flows from top to bottom ^^ And, like water, it repeats all the curves and bulges of the body, and also clogs into cracks and folds ... For example: if blood flows through the belly, then it will accumulate in the navel and flow below.

Glitter appears on the most convex places, folds and protrusions, both on the body and on objects moistened with blood. If the blood wet the clothes, then the clothes will be wet XD! This means that the color wet place will be much darker than the color of the blood and than the color of the clothes. Blood on clothes, as a rule, does not shine and is absorbed, that is, a stain forms. On weapons and on smooth surfaces, blood, like water, under the action of surface tension, collects in drops or flows down, leaving almost no traces behind (a few small droplets or something like that).

Not that I'm good at this... but I'll share everything I know about drawing blood anyway.

Never draw an outline for blood! Because it will ruin everything, especially if you draw badly.

On weapons and on smooth surfaces, blood, like water, under the action of surface tension, collects in drops or flows down, leaving almost no traces behind (a few small droplets or something like that).

The main thing is to imagine how it should look. At worst - look on the Internet similar pictures. You always have to think about what you're doing

Using this image I will try to create an effect realistic blood with shadows flowing dynamically from the lips. No flat tones. Blood will stream down the skin from the lips, ending in a small drop on the chin.

The main tools/filters needed to give a realistic blood look:
Variations(Variations);
Historybrush(Archive brush);
Blur(Blur);
sharpening(Sharpness);
smudge(Smearing);
spotHealingBrush(healing brush);
Burn(Dimmer) andDodge(Clarifier).

Step 1. Choose a tool Lasso(Lasso) in the Toolbar. I note that you need to pay special attention to the curved lines of the area on which you will use the tool. Lasso(Lasso)(after all, the blood changes its direction all the time, becoming like a curve). Create a thin selection (in this case from the corner of the mouth to the jawline). From the Toolbar, select a tool Magicwand (Magic wand), right click and set value Feather(Feathering) by 0.5. Feather(Feathering) very important because it softens the edges of the area where there will be blood.

Step 2 Go to menu Image> Adjustments> Variations(Image>Correction>Variations). Here you will choose the color, saturation and brightness of the blood. I prefer darker and colder blood, but at this stage you can set the settings to your liking.

Moving on to softening: the right tool for this would be the tool HistoryBrush(Archived brush).

Step 3 After you set the right color, select the tool HistoryBrush(Archived brush) in the Toolbar (values Opacity(Opacities) And flow(intensities) should not be high), then carefully run it only around the edges of the blood (for example, where the natural shadow of the skin blends with the red). Your task is not to erase all the red, but to add volume. Antialiased edges should not be transparent or overly textured.

Choose a tool Lasso(Lasso) and repeat the process again with Feather(Feathering) And Variations(Variations). Now that you've got such a rich red, it's time to soften the color a bit. filter> Blur> GaussianBlur(Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur) and blur the selected area by setting the radius to about 2.6 px.

Step 4 Followed by a continuous process of use Lasso(Lasso),Variations(Variations),HistoryBrush(Archive brush) andBlurring(Blur). Again, I leave it up to you how the blood will flow (a lot and in an arbitrary direction or in the form of an even stream). Here are some selections that I created, where after each application Variations(Variations) i applied a little blur(blur) and erased the excess.

Step 5 Cunning...
Realistic, voluminous blood requires realistic light reflections. This is quite doable, but why not simplify the task for yourself and not take advantage of what is already there? Lips are a great example of how great application can look. Variations(Variations)(as opposed to flat red). existing light on the lips (as in this image) can be used as blood light reflexes. The texture of the lips can play the same role with its shadows and highlights. The same principle applies in cases where you want to make the effect of blood tears from the eyes, usually there are always areas of natural light in the area of ​​​​the lower edge of the eyes.

Remember, I said that I was going to get a spreading, dark, dense stream of blood with small clots at the bottom and around the edges. Once you have reached desired result jets of blood and everything seems to take the necessary shape, you will need to add additional light reflections coming from darker and lighter shadows, which will give a more realistic feeling. You will need 6 special tools: BurnAndDodge(Dimmer and brightener);smudge(Smudge/Finger);sponge(Sponge) (or functionHue/ Saturation(Hue/Saturation));Sharpen(Sharpness);spotHealing(Healing brush).

Step 6. Create light reflections.
Set your eyes on any place dominated by red color tones and any similar ones that seem to be slightly mixed. Then in the toolbox select the tool Dodge(Clarifier). Install radius(radius) no more than 8px (I usually work with 3-5px), range(range) install on midtones(mid tones). The mid-tones of red will become brighter. exposure(exposure) set it to 20-25 (no need to make the red color too bright). Using the tool Dodge(Clarifier), create a small dot anywhere in the red color. You will notice that the red color will start to get brighter. Gently continue to lighten, but be careful not to lose the red (if you lighten the area too much, the red may turn taupe or even grey).

Then replace midtones(mid tones) on highlights(Sveta)(this will lighten only a very bright red hue). You can now set a 10px brush for the tool Dodge(Clarifier). Walk it slowly over the areas where the midtones have just been clarified. You will notice that a red color will begin to appear. If this happens, then continue to lighten the area, using the tool from time to time. sponge(Sponge) to reduce saturation. Don't stop working with the tool Dodge(Clarifier) until the lighted area becomes completely white. Repeat this process with other areas of red where you feel the need to add highlights.

Step 7. Formation of a light reflex.
This part is entirely up to you and how you want the light reflections to look. They can be larger, wider or smaller and thinner, they can be zigzag or completely straight. Let your imagination run wild. The blood itself can sometimes have very unusual, abstract light reflections... and sometimes not at all. But in artistic work(especially in collages) you can calmly explain that if there are very bright reflexes, it falls from somewhere bright light, or vice versa, if not bright enough, then for a certain area it simply looks better. When you're ready to get started, remember: never overdo the light reflexes, too much transfusion is not blood.

Select the smudge tool (Smudge/Finger) in the toolbar Strength(intensity) 50%, Brush(Brush) 10px (approx). Slowly run it over the previously clarified area. This action should set the direction for the entire area of ​​blood. Once you are satisfied with the result you get, reduce the brush size to about 3px, set Strength(intensity) about 70-85%. This will determine the type of blood. Repeat this process as many times as necessary, as many times as you like, or until it all looks like realistic light reflections on a dripping blood stream... this is just a simple example of how easy it is to draw a light reflection.

Step 8: Sharpening
Then, of course, why not play a little with the sharpness of the blood and its light reflexes ... It will bring them out even more and make them brighter and clearer. But again, don't overdo it. If you overdo it, the result can be horrendous.

spotHealingBrush(Spot Healing Brush) is something that I often use in my work, including this method of creating blood. Set it to mode ProximityMatch(Selected), it is a great corrective tool that can clone surrounding details with the desired texture and other effects. Combine it with a tool

Sharpen(Sharpness), it's also a great way to achieve stunning effect in specific areas.

Step 9. Discoloration and darkening of the blood
You can do it using tools sponge(Sponge) And Burn(dimmer) or by going to the menu Hue\ Saturation(Hue \ Saturation) (Image\ Adjustments(Image \ Correction).
sponge(Sponge):mode(Mode)Desaturate(Bleaching)/flow(Intensity): approximately 40%.
Burn(Dimmer):Range(Range):Midtones(Mid Tones)/exposure(Exposure): approximately 40%.
Hue\ Saturation(Hue \ Saturation) -Edit(Editing):Reds(Reds).
This will help reduce the saturation and darken the colors at the same time. To save other red tones in the work, select the tool Lasso(Lasso), highlight areas of bright red blood where you would like to tone down a bit.

Note: By adding saturation and darkening to the red, the blood becomes more realistic.
… this is all! No layers, no dirt. No brushes or extras needed. But remember, this is all done from scratch, from nothing. This is just a simple example of how to draw blood. Good luck!

Have you ever drawn blood? What are the best colors to use to make the blood look natural and terrify everyone?

Draw blood splatter

If you are thinking about how to draw blood, dilute the paint with water to make it more natural. One part paint should be two to three parts water. First, choose a place from which you will start drawing blood. Now draw lines in one direction - uneven, barely clear. If you want to finish the line, increase the pressure on the brush so that a small drop remains. This will give the impression of a trace of blood. To depict darker venous blood, you can darken individual elements.

Draw a blood stain

Drawing a bloodstain is pretty easy. To do this, apply a small drop, then spread it with a brush in the right directions and let it dry a little. Then base color you can darken it a little by adding black to it. And here are some more tips that will help answer the question of how to draw blood. To make the blood look spectacular, dilute the mixture with colors such as blood red and chaos black. The impression of wet blood will be greater if you cover your work with varnish.

Drawing blood with ink

With ink, you can make more bright colors unlike paint. They will shine after drying, which will save you from having to cover them with varnish. Use dark red for blood. It can be added to PVA ink, after drying, as a result of light refraction, the mixture will look like real blood.

That's all, use any of the above methods, draw blood, make it realistic and scary!

What can you draw with an ordinary simple pencil? Yes, exactly the one that everyone used at school. Children's drawing, sketch or diagram? Do you know that there is a whole art in which the main actor, or rather the subject, is an ordinary gray stylus. with a simple pencil - scope for human imagination.

unusual art

One of the most accessible, but at the same time incredibly complex types Graphics is a simple pencil drawing. It would seem, this usual subject for us? It turns out there are a lot. Some museums and exhibitions can boast of having an entire hall in which pencil drawings are presented. They display a wide variety of ideas for drawings that came at the time of inspiration to famous artists.

The unsurpassed play of shadows, the maximum resemblance to the original fascinate and captivate. Looking at some masterpieces, it is very difficult to imagine that this can be depicted with an ordinary gray slate pencil. It seems that this is certainly work done in well, you cannot draw such a miracle with a simple pencil! However, if you look closely, it is already impossible to contain the admiring sigh.

Necessary materials

If you think that a lot of materials are needed to create such a masterpiece, then you are greatly mistaken. To complete the drawing, you need to have landscape sheets, a set of pencils, an eraser and a sharpener. And, of course, drawing ideas. If you have no idea what you want to reproduce, the result will be deplorable. Or rather, this result will not be at all.

For more complex work Of course, a snow-white, slightly rough sheet of paper is selected, on which each stroke will be clear and noticeable. Specialized stores sell ready-made sets of simple pencils, but you can buy the most common ones. They should differ in the level of softness or hardness. The corresponding marking is necessarily indicated on them. Such gradation is needed to create shadows, without which even the most daring ideas for pencil drawings are doomed to failure.

You can not do without a sharp one, which will create the necessary sharpness of the rod. It is advisable to have several erasers that will erase failed or extra lines according to the type of pencil.

For work on professional level you will need an easel, as it is better to create a picture in an upright position. In this case, the tool will easily slide over the paper, accurately conveying the smoothness of the lines.

How to hold the instrument correctly?

To create a masterpiece, you need to master the correct grip of the pencil. It must be held in the palm of your hand, pressing. Such a grip should be developed, but after getting used to it, the results will be more obvious. In art schools, the first few lessons are devoted to the skill of holding a pencil.

Of course, the simplest pencil drawings do not require special skills. They can be created by holding the tool like a pen when writing. After all, the risk of smearing simple drawings it simply cannot be: the lines are clear in them and there is no play of shadows. But still, if you want to learn how to draw professionally, it is worth holding the tool masterfully from the first attempts.

The simplest pencil drawings

The most simple in technique are children's drawings. They are quite simple in execution, can be drawn in several stages. But it is with them that you can begin to develop the artistic talent of kids or try your hand at graphics.

Ideas for drawings for children are varied. These are birds, animals, cartoon characters. The most important thing is to carefully consider the object, take into account all its characteristics and try to reproduce what you see. This is how children draw, this is how an adult should try. Below are just some ideas for drawings with step-by-step execution of all operations.

Agree, anyone can draw this. But even more complex, it would seem, objects can be reproduced on paper if the whole is broken into parts. See how easy it is to create beautiful swan. By the way, this drawing already uses some tricks of the play of light and shadow (pay attention to

Similarly, in just 13 steps, you can draw Kitty for a child - the heroine of the animated series.

The fact that the drawing at first glance is simple does not matter. If you have it turned out without problems, start working with the shadow, trying to give the figure volume. To do this, use pencils. different hardness, and experiment with pressure.

If reproducing children's drawings is too easy for you, create your own paintings. Start with simple things - a cup, a phone, a book, gradually complicating your work. Believe me, even the most seemingly ordinary item in a talented performance will sparkle very attractively. See: the figure below shows a conventional light bulb. But thanks to the play of light and shadow, recreated with a pencil, the drawing captivates with its realism.

Such images are often referred to as 3D. This technique is quite difficult to master, but still possible. In them, the realism of objects is built on the play of light and shadow, which makes everything drawn seem real.

But for starters, it’s still worthwhile to translate ideas for simpler pencil drawings into reality. It can be household items, wildlife that surrounds you. For more complex work, you can choose a color drawing and draw it in black and white. There are a lot of options: you just have to look around you, and your heart will tell you exactly what to display on paper.
