Ability and pencil
The job of illustration anything realistically can be a claiming, and standards for workman drawings are higher than those for childrens' drawings. Animals are exclusively rigid since you might demand to take their exclusive shapes or constitute a concept of travel. By breaking down the sketch mechanism into steps inauguration with the outline and then fleshing gone the mortal bit by bit, this bothersome project can mature doable and enjoyable.
Instructions
1. Choose a high-resolution, detailed photograph of an animal. Cause not drudge from your head or dead-eye, as this is bounteous gargantuan. You can acquisition images online or proof outside a reference textbook approximately your chosen animal.
2. Discontinuity down the animal into its most basic parts. Trail an oval for the target, and linking ovals for the legs, neck, arms and tail (where relevant). Trail these ovals lightly, so that you may erase them subsequent.
3. Attract an outline of the animal enclosing the ovals you drew in Method 2, linking all the parts stable. Look closely at the photograph of the animal as you draw the outline, to help you with the details. Start at the head and work around the animal in a clock-wise fashion, over the back of the head, down the back, around the rear, under the legs and underbelly, and then back to the front of the face and head. Note any unusual features like the mane of a lion or the tail of a squirrel that will affect your outline.
4. Draw the large or important details on the animal, such as the ears, eyes, nose and mouth. If you are drawing the animal from the front, so that both sets of eyes and nostrils and ears are visible, draw a few mapping lines on the face first. These are lines that fall over the central horizontal axis of the eyes, ears and nostrils. When drawn straight across the face, they will help you line up the features symmetrically. Many animals have almond-shaped eyes like humans. The nostrils will probably be prominently displayed below the eyes as round circles, and the mouth should be represented by a line formed by the two lips pressed together. Refer back to your photograph for help.
Darken the shading as necessary until it matches. Also take this time to shade the animal in areas where there are shadows.5. Draw the textures and patterns on the animal. Start by outlining any spots or stripes down the animals' hide or skin, then use your pencil or pen to lightly shade the areas you outlined.
