learn to sketch three illustrations with professional markers using a limited color palette. follow a step-by-step, systematic approach to drawing, coloring, and shading for beginners and intermediate artists.
For this course, you need to have 12 alcohol based markers of different colors. The colors do not need to be of the same brand as my colors, but in order to get similar results, try to match the colors I have selected.
Learn marker blending with three tonally similar colors to create smooth gradients, starting with the lightest shade, blending quickly while wet, and layering up to three or four passes.
Color the facade with markers, layering blues and grays to build depth and emphasize the three-dimensional columns and decorative elements, and create a wet-blend effect for soft shadows.
Sketch the interior with markers by hinting at objects rather than detailing them, using yellow lighting and brown shading for shelves, cabinets, and lamps to guide interpretation.
Practice with markers and shading to color the store window, apply yellow and blue tones, erase pencil lines, build layers, and add final details like curtains, shadows, and plant leaves.
Master one-point perspective by sketching a Moscow street with a vanishing point on the horizon, measuring proportions with a ruler, and refining with simple lines.
Outline with a waterproof black pen, color the fence with markers using light tones from the upper right, applying linear and zero perspective with distant parts lighter.
Color trees with markers, starting with the lightest at crown and layering 3, 5, and 7 to create depth; use dots for leaves and capture reflected light on lamp posts.
Explore marker-based sketching of a rainy road with reflections, using side strokes, layered tones from dark to light, and shadows under lampposts, benches, and fences for depth.
Add details to marker sketches by outlining cars, applying perspective lines, and shading with markers. Use a white gel pen for highlights and edge refinement.
Sketch a cupcake as a food illustration by measuring height and width, crafting a rounded bottom, ruffles, and cream in perspective, then add a cookie and blueberries.
Color the cupcake with markers by layering light to dark yellows and browns, defining the white paper edges, and building texture and depth in the ruffles and base.
Apply light blue gray to the bottom of the cupcake and shadowed ruffles, then use baby blue with markers 3, 5, and 7 to define berry shadows and gradients.
Apply shadows with markers to create a gradient from dark under the object to lighter away, then add chocolate accents and a light blue gray background.
In this course, you will make three illustrations in different categories: food, street views and architecture. You will learn that with only a few colors, you can make many beautiful drawings. In this course, I will teach you the basic rules about perspective, sight and measurement, and lighting and shading.
