All language subtitles for 5.3 Background Illustration – Line Drawing

Hello.

In this lesson,
we're going to work on the line drawing

on the rough sketch, we did last time.

It's been a really long process,

so I'll show you the most important parts,

starting with the retro cake in the center.

I used the photo as a reference

and observed the regular whipped cream pattern.

This is the most important part of being the main character,

so I'm using different thicknesses

of lines to increase the density.

I drew the outer edge with thick lines

and the inner details with thin lines.

The parts which are hidden
by the teddy bear character

should be drawn carefully.

We can't see the parts actually

but I didn't want the parts to look awkward

or the position could be changed,
so I drew them just in case.

And I drew the strawberries,

but the strawberry in the middle looks awkward

cause it looks like only a circle.

So I changed the layout

so that it could look like a strawberry.

Now, I'm going to draw the character

as a cute girl

with round eyes and a smile.

Likewise, I drew the outline with a thick line

and drew the details with a thin line.

Add details such as lace and buttons.

There is whipped cream inside the piping bag.

So let's make it soft and fluffy like a cushion.

I drew the wrinkles imagining

the parts where the character holding with her hand.

Draw the whipped cream

from the piping bag as well.

Now, I'm going to draw the teddy bear,

which is an original character of mine

called "Freckle Bear."

When I create my own original character

and put him in various illustrations,

it feels like there's

a connection between an illustration and an illustration.

It also feels like a continuous story.

I drew him with whipped cream

and gave him a funny look as he tasted it.

I added lace details to the apron.

For the teddy bear in the back

let's make him look flustered and naive

It was not easy to draw the lying strawberry

so I rotate the canvas.

We're done with the line drawing for the important part.

The parts I wanted to emphasize

in the drawing were made by using different thicknesses of lines

to draw the details.

Now, we're going to draw supporting objects.

We'll mostly use thick lines,
so we won't draw too many details.

We'll keep it simple.

I thought it would be easy to draw the two-tier cake differently,

so I drew the centerline first.

I only drew the big details
focusing on the three-dimensional structure

I make the numbers of the seeds
for each strawberry different

so that they didn't look the same.

Also, for the tray of the cake extend the supporting line

from the cake to keep the center of gravity

in the same position.

I only drew half of the glass and then flip it.

I adjusted the top side to make it look thicker.

When we draw the inside of the glass,

just like we did with melon soda,
let's add space here and there.

Make sure to draw the strawberries
on the outside of the cup

and the ones on the inside will be sparse.

But when we zoom out and look at the overall picture,

the size of the strawberries on the cup is

too big to be consistent,

so let's reduce the size of the strawberries gradually

and add one more strawberry.

For the strawberry tap and the seeds,

make sure they don't look the same.

We've drawn the main characters
and supporting characters.

Now, let's draw the background and the extras.

There are many symmetrical elements in the background,

so let's first draw one side and copy it to make it more efficient.

Let's not draw all the lines on the window

we will copy and rearrange the lines

many times and then retouch them.

Same with the curtain,

draw the half of it, copy and flip it.

And then erase the unnecessary parts,

clean it up a little.

The background is to support the drawing,

so draw it as simply as possible.

Now, I'm going to draw the extras
which are decorating the drawing

with the ribbons stretched out.

Make sure the candles in the back

don't stand out too much and draw big shapes.

To draw the strawberry jam in the back accurately,

we will turn off the cake layer

and deleted the unnecessary parts.

The line drawing of the illustrations
with the background is done.

I used thin lines for

the areas I wanted to emphasize.

And for the backgrounds and the extras
I mostly focused on large shapes.

Depending on the importance of the objects

you want to emphasize,

if you draw different lines, it will look more balanced.

I spent about two to three hours
on this line drawing.

Sometimes it takes longer than this.

So when I draw the illustration with the background

instead of drawing it all at once,

I take a break and draw for a few days.

You know, you look at something last night that you didn't like,

when you look at it again today, and it's fine,

and then all of a sudden, you see things that you need to fix.

It's a long process to draw an illustration with the background,

so take your time to draw it.

In the next lesson, we'll finally color on it.

And finalize the illustration!

It's almost done.

So we'll see you in the next lesson
