Those who are fond of hunting know how difficult it is to capture the very moment when a duck flies up from the bushes or a hare appears in the distance. Finding a camera in time is almost impossible, and thoughts are not at all about that. But you can capture an important point with a canvas and a brush; even a non-professional artist can draw a hunter, game, or a dog.
It is necessary
- - paper;
- - pencil;
- - eraser;
- - brushes;
- - paints;
- - photographs or drawings depicting people, weapons, animals, landscape.
Instructions
Step 1
Prepare materials for painting, take a sheet of paper, brushes, paints. In addition, you will need a thin pencil and an eraser to erase unnecessary lines. If possible, use ready-made photographs or drawings, while you can take elements from different images - from one to redraw a person, from the other - a gun, from the third - a landscape, etc.
Step 2
Think over the composition of your piece. To convey the dynamism and excitement of the hunt, try to portray a hunter taking aim at a flying bird or a fleeing animal. You can also emphasize the success of the hunt, for this draw a lying carcass of an animal and a hunter standing nearby. Often a hunter's companion is a dog, it can also become part of the composition.
Step 3
Sketch the approximate composition of the drawing on a piece of paper with a pencil, the more details you add, the easier it will be to color the drawing later. Compose different elements in accordance with the properties of visual perception, it is necessary that the viewer's gaze first of all dwells on the hunter.
Step 4
Do not forget about the laws of perspective when creating a landscape - the background for the picture of the hunt. It should complement and set off the main characters of the picture. At the same time, do not forget about authenticity, for example, it is better to depict snipe hunting next to a swamp, and hares are hunted most often in late autumn or winter, so the summer landscape will be inappropriate.
Step 5
To draw a high quality drawing of a person and animals in motion, start by drawing a skeleton (here you will need some knowledge of anatomy). Then draw the main lines, outlining the silhouette, draw in the details. It is very important to observe the proportions when drawing people and animals, it is the correct proportions that will give the image realism and artistic value.
Step 6
When drawing technical elements, for example, weapons or equipment, be sure to check with photographs or detailed descriptions in the literature, if possible, draw from nature. Weapons for people who understand a lot about hunting are of great importance, so errors in the image will immediately betray your ignorance.
