Examples of images for copying, tips for beginners
Tips for aspiring artists:
- To make artistic pastels blend more smoothly, you can crush the chalk into powder and apply it to the part of the drawing that needs to be colored, using light, circular movements.
- Pencil strokes should be shaded lengthwise, not across.
- When coloring a picture with felt-tip pens, apply long strokes close to each other. You cannot color one area of the picture too densely. The paper may roll up and tear.
- To make a drawing made with colored pencils look brighter, regular supplies can be replaced with acrylic ones. Their rod is much softer. It has an oily texture, thanks to which the colors are more saturated and easier to shade.
It is not difficult to draw Flora from the Winx cartoon series. The main thing is to remember the distinctive features of this character, and also to color the picture in the colors typical of this fairy. Otherwise, looking at the drawing, it will be difficult to recognize her. Photos of finished works and pictures can be used for copying.
