Drawing elephants
Now for something different – drawing elephants. I am trying to get into the habit of sharing my ‘how to draw’ videos with you! This tutorial is aimed at helping you to improve your drawings skills and produce a really good drawing of an elephant. A bit of an odd one, but apparently something people want to know and Google about. Obviously I have done it from the perspective of an illustrator and have broken it down into simple, easy to follow shapes that everyone can have a go at! The same technique can be applied to many animals.
Drawing elephants: If you would like to follow this video and learn about drawing elephants, you’ll need a sharpened pencil, or better still a technical pencil, which never needs to be sharpened, a good eraser, and a sheet of cartridge paper to draw on. The advantage of watching and following this video is that you can hit ‘pause’ whenever you like or even go back over something again if you need to! Once you’ve had a go in pencil, maybe try stretching some watercolour paper, do it again and this time try some colour and paint it using watercolors or maybe coloured inks? If you draw it more than once, you can experiment with a range of colour mediums, just for fun! For instructions on how to stretch paper, see my blogspot blog.
