<\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The next few steps will be mapping out our underdrawing. This one will be pretty simple, the hard work in the shading part of the tutorial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n OK so the underdrawing is done, let trace our lines in a nice dark ink and get rid of that underdrawing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now on the the fun part. We’re going with a bright red for these puppies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We want to remove the line on the back of the cylinder that’s covered by the front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now let’s lay down a base colour for our cylinder. Choose whatever colour you like for this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s start shading. Add a soft dark shadow the length of the cylinder on the opposite<\/em> side the light is coming in from. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Another smooth gradient shadow on the right side, not as strong as the left. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Now a soft highlight along the length of the cylinder to give it a reflective look. Feel free to use a reference drawing to get these shadows and highlights correct, its hard to do just from your imagination!<\/p>\n\n\n\n A shadow from the left and some soft light from the right along the top pretty much finishes up our shading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks for following along! This wasn’t the most difficult drawing but covered some very important basics in perspective and shading. Thanks for reading and see you in the next one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What we will be drawing Welcome, and thanks for checking out the tutorial on how to draw a cylinder.
