Let's see how to draw an owl with the negative technique, using a black card and a white pencil. A very fun activity for children, as they are not used to drawing in white and it is something that will surprise them.
Makings:
- black card stock.
- white colored pencil.
- gel marker.
- pencil.
- eraser.
Processing:
Follow these steps to draw the baselines:
- Trace a vertical line in the center of the paper, it will be the axis of symmetry and at the top two circles.
- Draw a larger circle and smaller one in each of the two circles.
- Then mark a Circle that passes through the point where the two circles meet with the axis of symmetry.
- Pleasure three triangles, one for the beak and the other for the owl's ears.
- With two curves you will have the wing, look at the image to draw it. Do the same with the other one. Draw three ellipses for claws.
- Ends marking some waves that will serve as feathers for us. Brand two lines for the trunk this way it will have more stability.
- It begins with the strokes and baselines with the pencil without squeezing almost anything, if you make a mistake you can use the rubber. You can leave those lines without erasing that will give a more worked look or erase them once you have finished.
- Mark now with the white pencil the lines that are from the drawing, here you can press the pencil a little more because you are already on something safe.
- Continue like this until to complete the owl drawing.
- Start now with the shaded ones, you can make oblique parallel lines ...
- And on these lines mark above others to intensify the tone. You see completing the entire drawing with shading, take into account where the light hits to create that 3D effect.
- Finally with the gel pen, mark those points of light that you want to highlight and you will have finished the drawing.
