Anime girls with ears look funny and cute. To learn how to draw them, a beginner artist should know what tools and materials can be used. You also need to look at several step-by-step descriptions of the creative process and choose a photo to copy.
Drawing tools
The list of basic drawing tools can be found in the table.
Paper | For drawing with pencils, printer paper is suitable. For drawing with paints, you need thicker sheets, album or watercolor. |
Simple pencil | For sketching, a tool with a hard-soft rod is suitable. |
Eraser | You need an eraser that won't rub the graphite or crumble too much. |
Sharpener | Simple and colored pencils should always be kept sharp. |
Set of artistic brushes | The package should contain brushes of different sizes and hardness. |
Container for washing brushes | To avoid changing the water too often, you can take 2-3 glasses of water at once. |
Palette | Needed for mixing paints. You can use a plastic or ceramic white saucer. |
You can color the finished drawings using any materials:
- with colored pencils;
- felt-tip pens;
- watercolor;
- gouache;
- pastel crayons;
- with colored gel pens.
You can only draw with simple pencils.
To make the pictures rich and beautiful, the artist should have at least 4 pencils on hand, with leads of varying degrees of hardness:
- hard (T);
- hard-soft (TM);
- soft (M)
- very soft (M5 or M6).
Experienced artists do not recommend buying Chinese-made pencils. They leave very light lines, do not shade well, and crumble. It is better to use tools made in Russia, America, or Japan.
