High level
It is not necessary to be limited to easy methods of drawing an eagle. Let's try to consolidate the knowledge by moving on to the difficult stage.
Let's draw the king of birds soaring in the heavenly expanse against a background of snowy mountains.
Independently difficult to portray a similar image, but adhering to the following recommendations, everything will work. The contours of the paper will pencil, and paint will be gouache.
To depict a silhouette we need:
- The highest point of the eagle is marked with a short stroke. In this case it may be the right wing. Then mark the lower part.
- Put a pencil to the top mark, measure the distance to the bottom. At the moment of contact, grip the pencil with your fingers. Next, without releasing the tool, determine the number of pencils in width. The distance of the upper mark to the head and wings is also measured.
- The position of the animal is marked with dashes.
- The angle is measured with a pencil. The slope of the feathers is also measured. Drawing on the predetermined marks upwards animal. Right wing is complemented by six feathers. Then turn of the left wing and the second part of the body. On the head clearly highlight the beak, depict the eyes. The next point is the process of applying paint.
- The first paint sketches affect the background of the picture. First, place the necessary tools near you: a container of water, a medium brush and gouache. Combine the white paint with the blue paint and paint the top area of the sheet. Add a little purple here to cover most of the background. The eagle should remain unpainted.
- The bottom of the leaf saturate the blue color. After mixing the shades of paint the remaining fragments.
- At the bottom of a dark blue gouache are printed dark places. Next, the entire perimeter of the mountains is covered with shadow areas. After that, a little pink is added for selective brightening.
- Red and blue are mixed with brown. It is then used to paint the wing and head. The black paint is partially painted on the wings. We rinse the brush to absorb the brown lighter shade. We move on to the wing and chest area. Gray is used for the small part of the head, and gray-brown for the tail. Eyes and beak do not touch yet. A small part of the head area can be lightened.
- To paint the beak and paws, use a mixed version - yellow and brown. Add dark brown to darken the legs and some of the feathers. As a glare on the beak, make a splash of white. Eyes are drawn in yellow. On paws do small shading.
The soaring eagle in the sky against a background of snow-white mountains is perfectly depicted.
Is your result different than expected? No problem! Try again, following the step-by-step instructions.
Drawing the general outline of the wings and head
Now you need to draw the approximate shape of the wings of the tail and head. First draw a circle in the middle of the arc for the wings. Then, from the middle of the oval on the left side draw an arc to the end of the upper line, but leave a small space between them. With the right wing do the same, but the lower arc draw longer than the top. On the right side of the oval draw two rounded lines for the future tail of the eagle.
