With this Art Attack you'll find out how to draw things in the moonlight.
You will need:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
First, draw a circle using white chalk. This will be the moon |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use a finger to smudge the moon a little, then add in some chalk semicircles around it. These represent clouds. Smudge them too. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Next, draw a few lines onto the clouds, to give them definition. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then draw the outlines of whatever is in your picture, use the smudged moon as a
guide to what the light will be shinning on. Neil drew a night-time city scene. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
If there are objects in your picture, try to draw them lightly and don't smudge them as much as the moon. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Things that have their own light - like a street lamp - need smudging in the direction their light shines. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you draw a city scene like Neil, don't forget that at night there would stil be some lights on... but not all of them! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
So use a piece of yellow chalk to represent the lights that are on, to give them a tinge of colour. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Smudge those lights gently to complete a perfect moonlit picture.
Try it yourself! |
