In this lesson we will draw a gargoyle in stages with a pencil. The gargoyle is originally a drainage structure in Gothic buildings, which was depicted in various forms, demons, mermaids, dragons, etc. Subsequently, the gargoyle began to have a mythical character, a demonic image of an animal that drives away evil spirits and for some reason changed the second letter to "o", i.e. gargoyle.

The drawing will have a side view, we draw the main lines.

We add limbs and wings, the latter, however, are optional, but I like it this way. The note is over. Now we are slowly starting to add details. I start with the head, because then it will be easier to understand what the whole gargoyle will be like. For example, mine has an elongated and narrow skull and long horns, which means that all of it will be quite elegant and a little angular.

Now let's take the main stage - we outline the general view. The main thing here is not to rush and carefully look at what happens. Is it a thin neck or arms and legs? Or vice versa, something needs to be reduced or lengthened, etc.


So, now let's give free rein to imagination and begin to carefully draw our little animal. Add horns and spikes to taste. Let's not forget the muscles. And remember, the scarier the better.

And the end result. Let's breathe life into our demon. The shadows, the texture of the stone, and everything else that makes the gargoyle look real.

Today I will teach you. We already know, and now we will take up the gargoyle.

Since our demon is very strong, we draw a muscular body, and no less muscular front and hind legs. Although many argue that they did not have paws, but arms and legs, but on most statues they came down in this form.

Now let's move on to drawing the wings. Like everyone else, gargoyles had sharp fangs that we should draw.

At the last stage, we finish drawing the tail, spikes on the ridge, teeth and other small details. After all, it is no secret to anyone that the realism and greatness of any work of art is manifested in the little things. Do not forget about the auxiliary lines that we applied at the beginning. They need to be erased.

Now you can clearly highlight the contours and start painting our gargoyle. This is best done with the help of shading with a soft pencil. If you have a desire, you can finish the environment.

These stone ones look very beautiful against the backdrop of sunset.

Well, how did it happen? In my opinion, TrustNo1 did well too! If you like it - write, I would also like to know
