and wow i cant believe its a whole new year of school. any-who onto the lesson.

#6

today its all aboutaccesories!

now if you are haveing trouble drawing jewelry you can just go to www.google.com and type in how to draw necklaces, how to draw a bracelet etc...

but if your problem is that you know how to draw jewelry but you cant come up with any ideas, just look at your own jewelry. Lets say a pair of earring for example. you might think that a pair of ordinary diamond earrings are plain and nothing special. but take it and look at it unser the light. study how it sparkles. Now move it around a bit under the light.

the sparkles change as well right?

now your probably thinking i already know that sparkles change when you change the light, why am i reading this right?

well for the nest little task. draw the earrings without any light shining directly apon it.

now draw it again but at a differnt angle.

draw it again at another different angle.

now put it under the light and draw it three more times, all on different angles.

now you should have six drawings in total.

take a look at each one and study the differnces

study the similarites

after you do this hopefully you will probably realize that drawing the same object at different angles and lightings really make each picture unique.

this tecnique works with regular objects, clothes, and even people too!

however it works especially well with jewelry.

you can take a watch and draw it at different angles.

this also helps you when drawing your manga overall because you will be more familar when shading in or screentoning shadows. it will also help you draw objects at different points of view!

well thats finishes up this lesson! ill write soon!

next lesson will be on storyboards!

JA NE!
