Sometimes some novice artists wonder: how to draw a bottle? This item can simply be depicted in a still life, a picture of a pirate theme, or, as an independent element. So, today we will pay attention to this glass vessel and try to figure out how to draw a bottle with a pencil, and not just draw, but make it as similar as possible to the real one, without fail adding volume and streamline.
Choosing the right bottle
It is known that there are a lot of bottles, namely their varieties. Well, for example, it can be a plastic bottle, or clay, glass or decorative, a small baby bottle designed for infant formula, or a huge collection bottle, in which, by the way, some beautiful object can be hidden: a car, ship or tower .
It is worth noting that different bottles are drawn by and large almost the same. The only differences may be cork, label or vessel shape. But today let's talk about a glass bottle that is meant for wine.
Getting to work
Always, before you start drawing, you need to sharpen a pencil, prepare an album sheet and put an eraser nearby, although it may not be useful, because even a child can draw a bottle, like a real artist, because it is absolutely easy. When everything is prepared, the matter remains small.
Let's start the drawing process:
- It is advisable to arrange the album sheet before work vertically. Still, we will draw the bottle full-size and almost the entire sheet. Under the ruler or by hand, draw a straight line, the length of this line will symbolize the height of the future glass vessel. We complete the horizontal lines with horizontal segments, with the dash at the top should be small, and at the bottom more, because this is the future bottom of the vessel. And then divide the visually drawn straight line into three equal parts. Separate the first part with a horizontal line - this will be the neck of the drawn bottle in the future, and leave the rest as it is - this will be the so-called "body" of the bottle. The first stage in the question of how to draw a bottle can be considered completed. We move on.
- The next step in drawing a glass wine bottle will be to give it the so-called volume, in other words, try to portray its side faces. To do this, from the very bottom on both sides of a straight line drawn in advance, draw symmetrical parallel lines up to the horizontal mark, and then, not forgetting the symmetry, round the lines and reduce the width by half, draw straight lines almost to the very top again. In the place where the cork is usually attached to the bottle itself, two convex round curves should be added, resembling the shape of the half of the figure 8.
We are finishing work
In order to enjoy the finished masterpiece and draw a bottle like a real one, there are several tricks that will be discussed below:
- The first thing to do is round the bottom and top of the vessel to be drawn. To do this, from the lowest horizontal mark, which was previously outlined as the bottom of the bottle, draw the semi-oval, convex side to the bottom. Then go directly to the cork. All the lines that we will draw at the top, on the contrary, should be rounded in the opposite direction relative to the bottom. Such visual visual illusion is used by artists, trying to draw almost all known vessels: vases, bottles, glasses.
- The last step in the work will be cleaning the picture from unnecessary. All lines that were previously drawn inside the vessel should be erased with an eraser.
When everything is ready
Now, when a three-dimensional image flaunts on a sheet, it remains either to decorate it, or teach others how to draw a bottle, in stages and professionally.
