The body of the bird
In this lesson we will continue with inking
of our final project of the course.
We will develop the rest of the bird, including the legs and the tail.
For this type of textures, when we have so much volume
and there are no such interesting areas, for example, a face,
I recommend that you start doing it by sections
so that you do not start to get bored and work it out as a whole.
You do it in small parts and then these areas
you are joining them to have a better result.
The most important thing is to have enough patience, not to be overwhelmed
and wanting to finish the drawing faster than it deserves.
I like to do this area of the body with small lines
that will give us that feeling that we have fur.
And it is also important to leave blank spaces that will serve us a lot
so that they generate those brilliance that they will give to the plumage of the bird.
We can also rotate the drawing a little to make areas
where we have a much more natural line.
The most important thing is that we always feel comfortable
when making these strokes.
Here in the wing area, we are going to raise the tonal values a bit
to start generating those volumes.
We can also generate this type of lights
that will generate more details.
I like to divide that wing area and split it
and work it individually.
So it's going to give us this kind of texture.
When making these little details of the feathers,
for example, I'm going down in that direction,
and I like to go in the opposite direction.
For example, in the horizontal part it gives us that feeling
that we are doing something other than the texture
with which the bird's body already comes.
For these wings, we are going to mark the vertical lines
to work them individually.
It is very important that we can divide some areas
that they are going to start giving us certain visual effects,
more texture than there really is.
For example, here we are going to make the texture of this specific wing.
When we look away, it seems that there is a lot of detail,
but they really are basic lines
and that really didn't take long to make.
In some areas we are going to mark with thick lines
to give us that feeling of feathers in the wing area.
Remember that it is important that we have the support sheet,
since it will be essential for the pen
always give us a very good line.
When we are feeling that it is accumulating a lot of ink,
it is important that we are constantly scratching
on the sheet that we have of support.
When we are making plumage, above all,
the exercise we saw earlier is very important,
where we go hair by hair and with the pressure of the pen,
we are generating different gradients.
For example, this entire area of the bird's body
it's using that kind of technique.
Now I explained some tips that will help you
to make the body of the animal that you choose.
I brought an advance process of the bird's body.
This is the result we should get.
Always keep in mind to mark contrasts
and go leading the direction of the line and can divide some areas
so that it is easier for them to understand
where that direction of the line should go.
I recommend you work with a lot of patience,
are processes that take a long time and the more you dedicate,
you will have a better result.
In the next lesson we are going to start working on the entire flora part.
