H3: Steps for creating a “Sad Drawing”
1. Sketch the basic outline
Begin by sketching the basic outline of the drawing using a pencil. Choose a sad subject, such as a girl crying, an abandoned house, or a wilted flower. You can either draw freehand or use a reference image.
2. Add details to the drawing
After outlining, add details to the drawing. For example, you can draw the tears falling down the cheeks, the cracks on the abandoned house walls, or decaying petals of the flower. Make sure to be gentle with your drawing to avoid any smudging.
3. Darken the outline
After adding details, darken the outline with a black pen. Use a thin pen, as thick lines may overpower the drawing.
4. Erase excess pencil markings
Once you have completed the outline, use an eraser to erase any excess pencil markings.
5. Start shading with charcoal
Begin shading the drawing using a charcoal stick. Start by applying grey tones. You can blend with your fingers to create smooth shading. Apply dark tones for areas that are not exposed to light, such as shadows beneath the eyes or cracks.
6. Create Texture
You can create texture on the drawing by applying hatching or cross-hatching using a charcoal pencil. Go over any areas to create a shadow effect.
7. Use Tissue paper for Smudging
Use tissue paper to smudge the charcoal shader to create a softer effect where needed.
8. Keep shading until you’re satisfied
Shade until you’re fully satisfied with the result, your darkening should be gradual.
9. Use black charcoal for final detailing
After you’re completely satisfied with the shading, add final detailing using a black charcoal pencil. This will make the image more dramatic.
10. Add final Highlights
Add final highlights using a white pencil, to the areas where there is a reflection of light, such as the edges of the tears, distressed clothes, or hair.
