Pencil drawing basics - the blending stage

Blending is a different skill you need to learn before you can become an accomplished pencil artist. Before you start mixing, you need to create a drawing using the appropriate shading in accordance with an internalized 5 value scale.

There are around several different tools you can use with mixture. It is the pencil, even lets you draw can short parallel lines merge two different rated areas together.It is the Tortillon a piece of paper that specifically ist.Und Finally, it is for the mixture rolled paper tissues and the use of the fingers.

Here are some guidelines that will help with the blending task:

1. Hard edges - a hard edge is created when two areas with different values touch or Überlappen.Eine edge can be seen clearly. Especially those edges should be represented by actual lines. Instead create a hard edge shapes by comparing two different rated.

It does not exist in reality what we normally think to be a line. Lines are visible, due to two neighboring areas different values aufweisen.Daher most contrasting values is the preferred method to create lines.A drawing with actually drawn contours sees Planar. In fact, this style of drawing is called contour drawing and types of drawings to his place in the realm of Bleistiftzeichnung.Diese but to convey the three-dimensional illusion.

2. A soft edge leads feathering - if an object's surface gradually from the light source curves. This kind of the border value varies gradually and this should be taken into account, in your Mischung.Die interface closest to the source is the lightest and the values are dark, how you distant move.

When possible, do blending parallel to the edges of objects. For example, follow always the curves of an arm or a Ohr.Dieser approach allows the mixture into the corners and has a round appearance. It is part of the creation of three-dimensionality in your Planar drawing sheet.

3. Contrast - contrast is an integral part of creating a convincing Zeichnung.Es bring to live your drawing, of course. Use the correct values your internalized 5-scale value, to help you with observation. Differentiate the different values in your scene it helps peering and/or to work in Twilight-like conditions.

4. Darkest darks - if your scene such area to create, start a really dark area containing it may require by the construction of Ebenen.Sie with a dark layer and a layer of Fixer to put up. Then you can draw up a second dark level the Fixer.If necessary, repeat the process until you reach the desired darkness.

5. Often you will find uneven values - some of the areas are mixed unevenly.In these situations you can use kneaded the Eraser, some the darks and your pencil, add some darkness, where required to remove.A kneaded Eraser is a PuTTY-like type eraser that can be shaped in any desired shape.One of the best features is that you make it into a fine point can this can put strips and facilitate such small student tiny or nose highlights.

6. Kneaded Eraser - A kneaded Eraser is a very useful tool during the blending mode to use phase.It can actually be a drawing tool in the considered negative.That means you kneaded use the Eraser, remove (erase) graphite from pencil pane in the Zeichnung.Beispielsweise is kneaded ideal highlights and many types of textures to create eraser.

7. Dark light switch - mixture always from dark in the Licht.Das means, are the lightest of all the values from the shadow to the light areas arbeiten.Highlights and therefore equal that knows your Zeichenpapier.Am across the darkest of darks shadows are cast.

* The tools - blending as mentioned above, there are a variety of tools mischen.Sie include: your regular pencils, the Tortillon (i.e., different sizes of rolled paper cones), the kneaded eraser in certain circumstances, normal paper tissues and even your fingers.

These guidelines provide just about everything you need to know to start your blending capabilities to entwickeln.Diese phase is also the time, your artistic talents to practice and to show your heart and Seele.Am end the blending stage should you be almost done with your drawing.
