Violin in pencil step by step. Adding the final highlights. Removing masking fluid

In the last lesson we talked about the guitar. At the request of our reader Katerina Mikhailovna, today I will tell you about the volume. I found a lot of pictures on Google and chose this one. Attracts with simplicity and elegance:

Let's start by drawing two oval shapes. The first one is a little smaller. We connect them with lines. Look at the picture:
Next we move on to drawing the details of the violin. Let's add a tailpiece, bridge and neck. I marked the necessary elements with arrows in the picture:
Having outlined the main lines, we outline the contours:
Let's move on to the strings. Please note that they are not straight and should not be drawn under a ruler. The fracture occurs at the level of the stand. And let's add pegs.
It remains to add a few realistic details:
When finishing the work, I traced the contours of the drawing, having previously removed the extra lines with an eraser.

The result is this picture:
I told everything I could. Sorry, but I am completely unfamiliar with musical instruments, despite my great love for music. She inspires me to new creations, makes me think, gives me new ideas.

See the next lesson about delicious things - we will draw a cake.

Attention poll!

Inspiration is the source of our soul. But where can I get it? I find it in music. I usually listen to rock music, or when I write my drawing lessons, quiet music without words plays in my headphones. This gives me the opportunity be focused and communicate clearly.

• What kind of music do you prefer?, readers of my blog?
• What music is playing in your headphones? when do you draw?

The violin is a very ancient bowed string instrument. musical instrument. The violin appeared a long time ago, back in the 16th century. Later, starting from the 17th century, it spread widely throughout all countries. Musicians all over the world began to master it. And in every country the violin was loved for its melody and tenderness of the melodies it produced.

The violin is traditionally made of wood. Its shape reminds us of the number eight, and there is a round hole in the middle of its body. And above it there are strings stretched from end to end. There are four or five of them. Usually four. Let's draw everyone's favorite violin step by step here.

Stage 1. Draw a straight line along the diagonal of the landscape sheet. At its lower end, draw a long oval to the middle of the straight line. In the oval we draw the contours of the violin, placing the two parts of the violin symmetrically relative to the straight axis. The top and bottom parts are rounded. In the middle part there are smoothly shown edges of the violin body. We also draw the violin handle at the top with a rounded top.

Stage 2. Using an additional line along the entire contour of the violin, we will show its volume. Next, on the handle below we will draw a rectangular section. In the lower part of the body we will depict a teardrop-shaped part.

Stage 3. Add another straight line and a circle to the left of the violin. Then on the violin below we draw a circle on the teardrop-shaped part. From this part to the end of the handle we draw four parallel strings. Let's add one more detail below.

Stage 4. In the circle on the left we draw the lines of the treble clef. At the top of the violin handle we add four thumbs that regulate the tension of the strings. We draw patterns on the body on both sides.

Stage 5. Finish drawing the treble clef. We also show the bow in front of the violin.

Stage 6. This is how the violin turned out!

When you draw acrylic paints such an object as a violin, it is necessary to emphasize in the picture its elegant form and rich content: the movement hidden in it, lightness and sonority.

Before you start writing this plot with a violin in the lead role, you need to carefully think through all the details of the picture. In order for your still life to really “play”, you need to make an accurate drawing of the musical instrument itself, correctly build the composition, and pay due attention to the background, color and texture.

One gets the feeling that the musician has just put down this violin and bow and will take their hands again at any moment.

Drawing musical instruments is very difficult, but also very fun. Of particular interest in in this case evokes the polished surface and graceful shape of the violin. To prevent the violin from looking static, our artist placed it against the background of drapery, the heavy folds of which create the illusion of movement and echo the smooth curves of the musical instrument itself. A bow is attached to the violin, which further enlivens the composition, forming the main diagonal.

The meaning of the picture
In this case, we are dealing with a very complex object in outline, so it is extremely important that the initial drawing is made as accurately and accurately as possible. Only after this will it be possible to move on to paints.

When working on a drawing, pay attention first of all to the symmetrical shape of the violin. Start the drawing from the neck, and then gradually move to the body of the violin, making sure that both halves are absolutely identical. If necessary, draw auxiliary lines connecting symmetrical points on opposite sides of the tool.

Warm wood tones in the picture

As you already know, acrylic paints can be applied both very thin and thick. In this case, we will apply them in one and another way.

Intensive Orange color will serve as the warm base on top of which we will add transparent layers of brown and red paint. This way we can recreate the texture of polished wood. We will apply the colors - more intense than the colors of a real violin - in wide, curved strokes, following the contours of highlights and shadows. This will not only allow you to more accurately describe the shape of the violin, but also convey the illusion of movement.

For a lesson in painting with acrylic paints you will need:
sheet of thick watercolor paper A3 size
HB pencil and ruler
Masking fluid and drawing pen
Synthetic fiber brushes: 20mm flat, #10 round, rigging
9 acrylic paints: yellow-orange, cadmium red, light green, blue-gray, phthalocyanine blue, burnt sienna, intense yellow, yellow ocher, titanium white.
Palette knife

1 Make the initial drawing with acrylic paints

Make a light sketch with an HB pencil. Focus on capturing the complex shape of the violin as accurately as possible. Take the time to ensure that your drawing is neat and the proportions of the violin are accurate. Draw the taut hair of the bow using a ruler.

2 Cover the highlights with masking fluid

Mark the highlights along the edges of the violin, add the strings on the fretboard, and fill all these areas with masking fluid using a drawing pen (see "Expert Tip"). These areas will remain under the layers of paint applied on top and subsequently form light fragments of the composition.

3 Paint the base orange color

Prepare a liquid mixture of yellow-orange paint with a small amount of cadmium red. Take a 20mm flat brush and paint the body of the violin, the bow and some of the folds in the drapery with this paint.

How to use the drawing pen
Drawfeeders are usually used to draw straight lines. At the end of the pen there is a feather capable of picking up and holding a certain amount of ink or other liquid paint. This allows you to draw with a pen without having to constantly dip the pen into paint, as is the case with a regular pen or brush.

4 Paint the drapery fabric using the “wet on wet” method

Continue working only after orange paint will dry out. Apply a few drops to paper clean water, splashing it around the violin. The paint will spread on wet paper, forming natural curves in the free-hanging fabric. Now mix approximately equal parts of blue gray and blue phthalocyanine paint, add a little water and apply to damp paper. Make a more intense mixture of the same colors and paint the shadows lying under the violin.

5 Apply the details of the violin

Mix equal parts phthalocyanine blue paint and burnt sienna. Draw the neck and bridge of the violin. Then add a deep shadow on one side of the fretboard. The resulting paint is softer than black paint, which in this case would look too dark. For better control of the paint, apply it with the narrow edge of the brush.

WE CONTINUE WORK
Now you have outlined the main color SPOTS of your painting - the violin and the drapery fabric. It's time to turn to small details and clarify the shadows and light reflections on the violin body.

How to erase paint
It is very convenient to depict folds and creases on drapery fabric with the wedge-shaped blade of a palette knife knife. At the same time, it is quite difficult to follow the complex curves of the violin body with this tool. If you make a mistake in this, take a piece of fabric and simply erase off the unnecessary paint before it has time dry up. In this case, not a trace will remain of it.

6 Paint with a dry brush

Add some raw umber to the phthalocyanine blue paint and paint the chin. Where the light hits the chin, it appears almost white. You can convey this effect using a dry brush. Rinse and dry your flat brush, then brush the bristles into the wet paint to create a pale sheen.

7 Drawing the f-holes of the violin

Take a #10 round brush and use the tip to paint S-shaped slits on the body of the violin, called f-holes. Use a mixture of approximately equal parts raw umber, blue grey, and phthalocyanine blue.

8 Add wood tones

Now it's time to paint the warm tones of the wood from which the body of the violin is made. Mix equal parts burnt sienna, intense yellow paint and red cadmium. Using a size 10 brush, start painting the front and sides of the violin. Paint the shadow cast from the fretboard with a broad stroke of burnt sienna, muted blue phthalocyanine paint.

9 Working on reflections and highlights

Continue writing the body of the violin. Mix cadmium red and burnt sienna, add some intense yellow paint. Apply the paint in thin, almost transparent layers that will imitate the polished surface of wood. Try to follow the curves of the highlights and shadows to highlight the curved shape of the violin body. Paint over the highlights with an opaque nude pink paint mixed from titanium white, yellow ocher and cadmium red.

10 We write the rim

Take a thin rigging brush and paint the bottom edge of the neck. Then draw a thin strip along the border of the shell. These expressive details will make the violin even more realistic.

11 Deepening the shadows in the picture

Deepen the shadows on the drapery fabric with a mixture of blue-gray paint and phthalocyanine blue paint to highlight the folds. Write burnt sienna on the bow. Add some cadmium red and intense yellow paint to burnt sienna and apply dark colors on the body of the violin. Dilute the mixture slightly with water and write warm tones on the drapery fabric.

For the finishing touches, add some very important highlights. Once you remove the camouflage LIQUID from the body of the violin, dazzling white spots and fine lines will appear in the painting. They will appear as bright highlights on the body of the violin. We will create wide matte reflections on the drapery fabric using light green paint applied with a palette knife blade.

12 Filming masking fluid

Wipe off the masking fluid with a clean finger to reveal the white streaks of strings, bow hair, and crisp highlights on the violin's rim.

13 Softening the reflections

The exposed white reflections contrast too sharply with the rest of the tones of the picture, maintained in a warm, soft color scheme. To soften these reflections, prepare a very thin mixture of yellow ocher and blue phthalocyanine paint. Apply a thin layer of this wash to the white areas.

14 We finish writing the drapery fabric

Mix equal parts titanium white, yellow ocher and blue phthalocyanine paint. Using a palette knife, paint pale highlights onto the drapery fabric with this thick, undiluted paint. Try to let the underlying blue-green paint show through the pale paint in places. In this case, the fabric will look even denser.

15 Adding the final highlights

Finally, add a few more highlights, primarily where the light hits the edges of the violin. Mix some yellow ocher into titanium white and paint those final reflections.

A Orange base
The original orange base peeks through the layers of paint applied on top in places and helps create an overall warm tone.

B Drapery fabric
Thick when applied with a palette knife light green paint conveys the effect of light falling on the backdrop and at the same time the texture of dense fabric.

In Polished Wood
Intense highlights and contrasting shadows not only show the texture of polished wood, but also help to outline the contours of the violin.

Do you like to draw? If yes, then let's try to depict something beautiful and unusual on paper, for example a violin. And, of course, when drawing this musical instrument, you must place the bow nearby, because it is one indivisible whole. So, get to work and don’t think that you won’t succeed.

How to draw a violin? First you just need to imagine it. It’s good if you have it in its natural form: as a toy or a real tool. Agree, it is pleasant and magical to touch the strings and extract from it, albeit not very correct, but amazing sounds.

How to draw a violin

Are you asking how to draw a violin with a pencil? Easily. To depict this instrument, it is enough to have the most ordinary pencil. Still, it is better if there are several of them, differing from each other in the degree of softness and hardness of the graphite itself. The drawing will be more expressive if you apply shading and shadows. Sometimes, to give a drawn violin the desired proportions, shapes and sizes, you can also use a marker.

Stages of drawing a violin

Let's take a closer look at how to draw a violin step by step.

▪ First, we determine the approximate size of the instrument: the thickness of the body, the main length of the soundboard, neck, and also its width. Using straight lines horizontally from the beginning of the violin to the top edge, its neck, we outline the outline. We estimate the width both above and below and draw an irregular rectangle.

▪ Now, having reached the middle, you need to make two arches that will connect the half-arches, and point one to the right, the other to the left.

▪ Next, we draw the violin’s “neck” in the form of a long thin vertical rectangle, slightly tapering at the top. It should be as even as possible in the center, because here, on the so-called deck, we will draw the exact location of the stand for

The proportions are met, the outline is marked, which means the main part, that is, the sketch of the violin drawing, is completed.

Learning to apply shading

You still haven’t quite figured out how to draw a violin? Then let's continue.

▪ With another simple, but softer pencil, we clearly draw the small details of the instrument.

▪ Using shading, we apply shadows to the side of the main body of the violin. We also carefully work on the visible part of the neck. Through the necessary shading and shading, we emphasize the basic shapes of a given object in our foreground, as well as in the shadows.

▪ Using soft lines we highlight the S-shaped holes on the body. Using the chipping method, we carefully soften the main shape of the violin and the upper part of the neck itself.

▪ To more clearly express natural volumes and depth of shadows, you can use a marker.

That's it, part of the work is completed, half of what started is done. We now know how to draw a violin. But that is not all. What is a violin without a bow?

Learning to draw a bow

Probably everyone knows what a bow is. Without this component, playing the violin is impossible. This is a thin stick made of a special type of wood, with its help sounds are extracted from the instrument.

At correct drawing This stick, so necessary for a musical instrument, must be in proportion. It, of course, should not be longer than the violin itself. Let's try to draw it.

Our main musical instrument is depicted lying horizontally. The bow, for greater persuasiveness and preservation of the completeness of the beautiful and correct drawing, position it relative to the violin at an angle of forty-five degrees.

▪ Draw a small line, the length is slightly less than the size of the tool itself. Next, use a simple soft pencil or marker to outline it several times.

▪ At the ends of the future bow we draw two loops, through which we draw another thin line from one end to the other. This will be an imaginary string.

The matter is completed. And now we know how to draw a violin with a bow. It turned out to be a beautiful drawing, isn’t it?

You should know it

In this article we tried to explain clearly and step by step how to draw a violin. If you still don't understand everything, here are some tips to make it easier to learn how to do it.

▪ Draw slowly, without haste, as if you were playing the violin.

▪ Watch videos where a skilled specialist will tell you in detail how to do such work more accurately and correctly.

▪ Don't give up on what you started. Maybe not everything will turn out beautifully the first time, but the next time it will definitely be much better.

Rules for drawing arrows

The question of how to correctly draw arrows on the eyes worries many women. A beautiful arrow can be drawn only if it is done sequentially in several stages.

You need to draw an arrow with a “steady” hand, otherwise the line will not be straight, but wavy, which is unacceptable. To prevent this from happening, you need to place a mirror at eye level, and rest the elbow of the hand that is used to line your eyes on a hard surface.
You don’t need to draw an arrow with your eye closed or open, it’s inconvenient. It is best if the eye is half closed. In this case, it will be immediately obvious how well the arrow is drawn.
Whatever the width of the arrow you plan to draw, initially it should be drawn thin and gradually thickened if necessary.
Most women believe that the arrow should be drawn with one solid line. But in this case it is almost impossible to draw a straight line. It is best to draw the arrow in two steps. From the inner corner to the middle, and from the middle to the outer corner.
The inner edge of the arrow should be drawn along the eyelash growth line. If you leave a distance between the eyelashes and the eyeliner, it will look sloppy, and the eyelashes will not look impressive, even if they are very thick and beautifully painted.
The arrows on both eyes should be the same length and width. Even the slightest deviation is unacceptable, since with different arrows the eyes will look asymmetrical, even if in fact the woman does not have such a defect.
If eye makeup includes not only arrows, but also shadows, then the arrows are drawn on top of the shadows.

Pastel drawing - Egyptian Mau cat

1) In this lesson I will tell you how to draw a cat of the Egyptian Mau breed. This is very beautiful cats with large eyes the color of currant green or yellow-amber. The Egyptian Mau has a wonderful and unique color. This is their distinctive feature. For this painting we will need a pastel sheet of dark blue A4 size. Let's make a sketch with a white, well-sharpened pastel pencil.

2) Let's move on to drawing the eyes and nose. For eyes, use green, yellow, dark orange, black pastel pencils. Carefully shade the eye, make the pupil black, and finally add highlights with a white pastel pencil. For the nose, use white, pink, black, red pastel pencils. Around the eyes and nose, shade lightly with a white pencil and rub with your finger. When drawing such small parts your pencils must be well sharpened!

3) Shade the ear first with a pink pastel pencil, and over it with a white pastel pencil. Rub everything with your finger. Add black shades and rub. Now sharpen a white pastel pencil well and draw white hairs with quick and light movements.

4) Shade the cat's head with a white and gray pastel pencil. You can add a few touches somewhere blue color. After this, rub everything with your finger.

5) We begin to clarify the details. Using a white pencil, using small strokes, we imitate the growth of fur. Draw the stripes with small strokes of black.

Please draw me the sea,
So that quiet waves flash,
To the smells of happiness and will
My chest was filled to the brim.

Draw the sand under my feet
Yellow-yellow, like a ray of sunshine.
And decorate the sky with clouds,
Just don't draw clouds, please.

Draw me a kite
So that the wind plays with him rebelliously.
So that I, having nothing,
She continued to be kind and gentle.

Will you draw me the sea and the sky?
And will you strew it with clouds?
Can you draw me an eternal summer?
And sand under your bare feet?

Draw, but don’t put a dot yet,
I didn't tell you the main thing,
Please draw me a daughter
And draw yourself at the pier.

How to draw a picture with paints

Choose watercolor paints. It's easiest to start painting a picture with them. They can convey all shades and add brightness when shined through. Choose what surface you will paint on - wet or dry. When drawing on a wet surface, the outlines of objects are blurred, which is useful in landscape compositions or when filling vegetables and fruits in the background.

Take a drawing paper - it does not swell from excess water, and the places that need to be corrected can be easily washed off with foam rubber. Place the paper at an angle of 30-40 degrees to ensure the paint spreads evenly.

Make pencil sketches of the main objects. If this is a still life, then determine the location of the table or other surface and the fruit and vegetable composition. If this is a portrait, then take into account the proportions of the person, and if it is a landscape, then light sketches will be enough - main role colors will play. When painting with paints, especially watercolors, take into account the fact that you need to think through the shade of each stroke in advance. The error can be corrected only with the help of damp foam rubber. Then apply the necessary strokes on the already well-dried surface.

Paint the general background with foam rubber or a wide squirrel brush. When painting large areas, make sure there is enough paint on the brush. Apply the background from light to dark. Please note that the effect of white when drawing watercolor paints is achieved only through unpainted or well-washed areas with water. Be careful not to tear or roll the paper.

Determine the sunny side and shaded areas in the picture. Based on this, sketch all the objects. Mix paints on the palette - in a drawing, overlapping color layers can lead to simple color distortion dark shades. Apply each subsequent stroke next to the previous one with a slightly moistened brush for a smooth transition.

Paintings have the gift of attracting attention over and over again. The unique play of shades allows you to convey everything down to the smallest detail. But how exactly to draw a picture with paints? - drawing paper,
- pencil,
- eraser,
- paints.

How to draw a daffodil

Make pencil sketches in the middle of the sheet and arrange the individual details. In the upper part, draw a hexagon - the basis of the flower itself. To do this, draw two equal trapezoids that have a common base, with their convex parts facing opposite sides. Draw the middle in the form of an oval and depict the stem and leaf with simple strokes.

Draw the details of the daffodil more accurately. From each vertex of the hexagon, draw straight lines converging towards the middle. These lines will be the vertical axes for the flower petals. Mark the midpoints of the lines. Now draw strokes from each vertex, expanding to the designated points. Next, bring the strokes to the middle of the flower in the form of straight parallel lines.

To draw a daffodil, draw the flower petals with smooth lines - smooth out the main contours. Draw a slight curling of the petals with wavy lines located at their walls. Draw the middle of the daffodil. First, make the borders of the oval jagged with small steps. WITH right side oval, add a small dome, making the middle more voluminous.

Draw part of the narcissus stem in the form of a tubular arc connecting the flower itself and the straight thin stem with the wide side directed towards the petals. Draw the leaf of the plant as elongated and narrow with a pointed apex.

Sketch a flower with a simple pencil. Densely shade the middle of the daffodil with straight, thin lines diverging from the middle to the borders of the oval. On the petals, draw rays running along the vertical midline. Shade both the left side of the stem and the top of the daffodil leaf.

How to draw an anchor

How to draw an anchor

Draw a modern anchor design with two sharp edges at the bottom. Draw a vertical line in the middle of the sheet, slightly narrowed at the top and widened at the bottom. This will be the anchor spindle. Draw a circle around the upper border of the spindle, the so-called. eye - a place where a cable or rope is attached to raise or lower an anchor. At the top of the vertical, draw a horizontal line - the rod. Secure the lower part of the spindle with a large tick.

Draw the individual parts of the anchor in more detail. Draw the spindle in the form of two straight lines, each of which is drawn at the bottom. different sides, forming the anchor, its main part. This way you will get two anchor horns. The junctions of the lines should be smooth. Make each horn three-dimensional by adding another line that follows the outline of the anchor. At the tips of the horns, draw lopes - wide plates with sharp outer peaks. Please note that the heel of the anchor must be quite sharp.

Draw the stem in detail. From the inclined straight line, at a short distance, draw another one with the same slope, but slightly convex, thus delimiting the side and lower parts of the rod. Connect both lines with several vertical strokes. Now draw another inclined line repeating the outline and continue the vertical strokes at an angle slightly greater than 90 degrees. Draw a neck above the upper border of the stem - draw a small rectangle and divide it in half with a vertical line. Make the eye ring double.

Darken certain areas of the anchor: the lower part of the blade and the right horn. Shade the rod short lines and the neck, its right side. Also darken the section of the spindle that runs along the right border of the vertical - the drawn anchor is ready.

An anchor is a special metal structure that is designed to secure a ship in one place. It has many various types, but the base is always the same - a heavy bottom, which is fixed to a straight metal vertical. A drawn anchor is most often used as a maritime symbol. - landscape sheet;
- pencil;
- eraser.
