Love is a feeling that can hardly be described in words. They are specific, and this feeling is comprehensive, many-sided, changing, like pictures in a children's kaleidoscope. Talk about love more clearly, emotionally can, perhaps, best music and painting.
Pencil, brush and paints
How can you draw love? Let us recall the paintings of the great masters on this eternal theme. For example, Lawrence's “Farewell Kiss”, “The Merging of Souls” by Bern-Jones, “Idyll” by Bouguereau, “Over the City” by Chagall and others. What is striking about them? The joy of life, the tenderness of beauty, the splendor of passion, inspiration. But there are other canvases expressing jealousy, despair, even hatred. To know how to draw such love, look at the works of Gauguin, “Are you jealous?”, “Ingres, Paolo and Francesca” by Ingres and many other amazing paintings. As you can see, they are all very different, but they say the same thing. And this we only mentioned the relationship between a man and a woman. And if you draw a quivering love, holy - motherly love? What might she look like? There are many examples of painting - both ancient and modern. “Madonna Litta” by da Vinci, “Sistine Madonna” by Rafael - all these paintings embody the best that can be in a man, in a woman. To draw a love of nature, the homeland, it is enough to recall the works of Levitan, Shishkin, Monet ... The list can be continued for a long time. The most important thing, probably, is to really experience those emotions that you are going to convey on paper and do it as sincerely as possible.
Choose a plot
Where does creativity begin? From the moment of inspiration, when an irresistible desire is born to get to work. From the plot that comes to mind, excites the mind and soul, requires embodiment. How to draw love? With a pencil, a sketch of what has formed into an integral picture is gradually phased. Why a pencil? Because in the process of work you will want to change something, something will require processing. Charcoal lead is easier to erase with an eraser than to remove strokes made with paints or
colored pencils. Draw the lines without pressure so that there are no traces or dirt on the sheet. And only then, when the sketch is ready, you can do the work in color.
Creative process
How to draw love in stages, if the picture is an allegory: two arms outstretched to each other, against the backdrop of the rising sun? Such a canvas represents a nascent relationship, hopes are bright and hot, as the luminary itself. Youthful feelings filled with romance and passion. Sketch the contours of the hands with a pencil - approximately so that they fall in the middle of the sheet. Draw the details carefully. The female hand should look fragile, with thin long fingers, a graceful wrist. Men's - larger. Try to portray it so that you feel strength and tenderness. The drawing will turn out to be more expressive and plastic if the hands lightly touch each other with their fingers. Thus, you will convey the timidity and awe of the first touch of lovers. In the background, draw a solar disk, but not clear, but somewhat blurred. What matters is not so much himself, as the radiant radiance, golden-pink, coloring everything around in festive, warm colors. This effect will be achieved by a simple technique: with a razor blade, cut the smallest crumbs from pencil leads of the corresponding colors and then carefully rub them on paper. Fill the edges of the picture with light blue - the color of the sky, which symbolizes hopes, lofty feelings and dreams. In this case, it will be that talking detail that will allow you to put the right emphasis in the picture. Or leave your work in black and white. If you have worked hard and put your soul into it, it will be understandable and close to any viewer.
And more suggestions
Drawn pencil pictures about love can be very different. This is a mother, bent over the cradle of a child, and a brother playing with a sister, and a heart pierced by an arrow. A couple, frozen in arms or whirling in dance, erotic scenes or just the word "love", written in
graffiti or gothic style. Even a bouquet of flowers or just one rose can express the whole depth of feelings overwhelming the artist. And it doesn’t matter if for the time being you lack mastery, and the technique of execution is far from ideal. Creativity is, first of all, an act of self-expression. Therefore, good luck and real feelings!
