It is necessary
- - Maple leaves;
- - paper;
- - the pencils;
- - paints.
Instructions
Step 1
Find maple leaves of the right size outside. They should not be too dry and brittle, as they may simply crumble during the drawing process. In addition, when dried, they do not convey the full brightness of the colors of autumn maple leaves. Don't pick leaves after rain. You will need to touch them to the paper, it will get wet and your drawing will be ruined.
Step 2
Place the maple leaf against the canvas and redraw it, while holding it with your free hand so that the leaf does not slip and the drawing does not turn out to be uneven.
Step 3
Once the outline of your leaf is ready, take a close look at the veins on your maple leaf model. You should not redraw all the interweaving of the veins, otherwise it will be difficult for the viewers to understand what kind of mesh you have in your drawing. Redraw the largest veins with a simple pencil.
Step 4
Now take colored pencils or paints and, looking at a real sheet, try to convey on paper all the colors that nature has awarded the autumn leaves. Pay special attention to the transitions of colors to one another. Achieve similarity to the original by mixing several colors that blend into each other. If you are coloring the drawing with pencils, rub the transition area with a piece of paper - the color blending will be smoother and more natural.
Step 5
Take a couple of maple leaves and paint over them. One can be made red-green and the other bright orange. Now attach them to the paper with the colored side. Remove carefully, being careful not to smudge the paint. Your colorful autumn leaf fall is ready!
Step 6
If you want to be able to draw one element and duplicate it several times in your drawing.
