The approach of the holidays is always an exciting period, because it is time to receive gifts, as well as their offerings. And giving is just as pleasant as receiving gifts. You can, for example, present a photo frame. And so that it does not gap with emptiness, experts suggest inserting into it some kind of drawing of their own production. But what can be drawn to be moderately romantic, and connected with the event, and beautiful?
What can I draw to give ?
Images of flowers are always relevant at the holidays. You can draw a bouquet of daisies or a rose. Of course, a rose will require certain drawing skills from the artist. It is especially difficult to cast shadows on an already finished image. But the contour of the flower itself should be done accurately and accurately. First, a circle is drawn with auxiliary hair lines, a semicircle of a smaller diameter is attached to it - a cup of a flower. On the sides of the circle, tangents are drawn upwards, which are connected by a curved curve running parallel to the upper outline of the arc enclosed between the tangents. In stages, rose petals loom inside the flower. Thin sepals extend from the calyx. Spikes and leaves are drawn on the stem. After the outline of the rose is outlined, and the auxiliary lines are removed with an eraser, you can apply shadows to the picture. It should be remembered that rose petals are like wax, so they have a reflective effect. So, where the light falls, the petals should remain white. Do not paint over and the bulge of the petals. But to the middle of the flower, the shadows lie thicker, denser. If the artist wants to portray a picture in color, he can use
colored pencils or paints. But coloring should be subject to this feature of the rose, leaving parts of the petals not painted over.
What can I draw as a gift for the New Year 2014?
The answer is simple: of course, a horse! On the eve of the upcoming year of the Horse (according to the
Eastern calendar) this drawing is perfect as a gift to a person of any gender and age. Whether the boss, close friend, beloved girl or dear granny, everyone will be happy to receive such a present. And the main thing in this matter is to beautifully complete the drawing. Although it should be noted that you can draw a horse with a pencil, or you can paint. In any case, you should first familiarize yourself with the structure of the horse's face. The horse's head is somewhat reminiscent of an isosceles trapezoid with smooth angles. It is especially necessary to highlight the cheeks on the head, as well as the prominent lower lip - the chin and nostrils. The horses' eyes are large, almond-shaped, with rare but long eyelashes. When applying shadows, one should take into account the fact that a double bulge stands out on the muzzle of the horses, passing in the middle, from the forehead to the upper lip. Small depressions form on both sides of it, in the figure they should be shaded with a pencil. Do not forget about the ears, bangs and mane. By the way, having successfully completed the drawing, it can be digitized, processed using a special program for black-and-white images, and then cut onto a dark-polished board. What was black in the picture is carefully removed - it becomes white, and white, on the contrary, remains dark. The image is similar to the negative of a photographic film. It is extremely beautiful!
Embroidered picture with a horse as a gift
If the contour image of the horse's face turned out to be close to the real image, you can proceed to coloring the picture with paints. But you should not completely paint over the horse’s head with one color - this can ruin the whole picture. Where cavities are implied, paints of a darker shade, up to black, should be taken, and on the bulges, reduce the color intensity. In some places, due to the reflective effect of polished horse skin, color may be absent. Also, the image will give realism to spots on the forehead and near the nostrils, the black color of the tip of the muzzle and lips. The interesting thing is that you can draw a picture not only on paper. A chic gift for the New Year 2014 will be embroidery of the horse with floss thread. Of course, before embroidering, you should prepare a drawing in color. So you can paint the future embroidery layout with paints, process it using a special computer program that will give out a design drawing. According to him, the future picture should be performed with the help of a needle and threads. To embroider a picture in color, sometimes up to 150 threads of floss in different shades are required! But then the result will surely please not only the artist, but also the one who receives this wonderful masterpiece as a present.
