How to draw a cat with watercolor pencils and watercolor
In this lesson we will tell you how to draw a cat's face with watercolor pencils in stages, and make the background in watercolor.
The drawing technique is mixed: watercolor pencils, watercolor, thin felt-tip pens for hairs.
1. I sketch on watercolor paper.
2. Now you need to gently wet the part of the paper that will be the background with water.
3. I remove the excess water with a wrung out brush.
4. I pick up some paint diluted with water on the brush and carefully distribute it over wet paper.
. 5. With a brush, you can add watercolors in those places where we want the background to be darker.
6. The background is ready for the draft.
7. Now I remove the watercolor and take the watercolor pencils. In principle, it would be possible to take ordinary ones, but at that time I only had watercolors from soft ones. I start working on the eyes and nose, always with the lightest. We always have time to darken.
8. Next I work on the iris by adding green.
9. To make the cat come to life, I always try to work on the eyes almost immediately.
10. We begin to work on the fur, thin strokes for the growth of wool.
11. I try to make stripes according to the shape of the body so that they emphasize the volume.
I draw wool with thin felt-tip pens.
12. I made a mustache with thin felt-tip pens, leaving no white spaces in advance.
13. Under the chin, I darkened a little with a gray pencil so that there was a shadow.
14. Then I regretted that I did not leave my mustache white and decided to try to scratch it out.
I don’t know how well it turned out ... But I seem to have heard about such a technique.
15. I added a little grass with green pencils. Looks like a reed cat.
