marker Rendering

2d hand held whisk

Now that I've learned to shade and render, the next stage is to render these pre sketch hand held whisks with different colour this time.

In this lesson, I received a sheet of marker paper with a hand-held whisk already sketched on it. Our assignment was to render these intricate shapes using various marker pen colors, like Peacock Blue and Leaf Green.

1

First I started by outlining a shape this time with Hydrangea Blue this is because the shape is round meaning the side would always be darker.

2

I then start with the base layer this can be done by using the shizzle end of the marker pen to apply quick stroke with each stroke over lapping the other by a little bit.

3

After waiting for the first layer to dry, I built up the details by applying the second and third layers of marker pens on the right side of the shape. The reason the right is darker than the left is because the light source is hitting the shape from the left. In my opinion I believe I did poorly on this shape because I didn't know what the oval like shape on the right represents.

To finish up this hand-held whisk, I added shading with a soft black pencil. The soft black pencil allowed me to define the contours and curves of the whisk, making it appear as if it has volume and depth. However, I encountered some issues; my shadows had a rough texture instead of a soft one. I later discovered that this was due to the texture of the table beneath my work. Now that I understand the problem, it can be easily fixed by placing another piece of paper underneath my working paper.

Soft black pencils

Soft black pencils are writing or drawing instruments, They are known for their darker and smoother lines compared to harder pencils. Soft black pencils are usually used for shading and sketches. However, I will be using the Soft black pencils to shade shadows this is because its ability to acheive a range of tones and gradients.

Least FAVORITE hand held whisker

The reason this is my least favorite one is that I failed to make quick, long strokes with the marker pen, and I ended up creating a messy result. After finishing the shading with Peacock Blue, I attempted to use Leather Brown for the handle and also went over some of the Peacock Blue. This went horribly wrong because the two colors mixed and turned into a greenish-brown shade.

WHat went well and what didn't.

I believe I performed well with the marker pens, making the handheld whisk stand out and appear more realistic. I've also tried to use different colour combination as seen in the picture of the left hand side. I tried to apply the skills I recently learned. However, it’s clear that I have a lot to improve, especially in achieving smoother shadows. As you can see, the second green shape from the right has a very rough shadow. This could be easily fixed by placing another piece of paper underneath to prevent the rough textures of the table from showing through.
