Rendering Feathers and Fur.
The idea of drawing a realistic interpretation of fur,
feathers and other natural textures are often daunting in the idea of copying
down every single part. In reality, your task is to create shorthand that the
viewer will see as the item you wish to represent. This job isn’t exceptionally
hard, but it requires a bit of trial and error, plus a bit of patience. The term rendering is used to describe the
process of drawing a texture that represents a real-life object or feature in a
convincing way. This is a great tool to make something that doesn’t exist seem
more realistic in your artwork.
As art is developed from sketch to final art, you not only
need to represent the texture, you must also express the volume, shading and
effect of focus as the feathers or fur as it falls away. All of this will allow
the brain to accept the illusion that you are creating. After all, you are
creating an image on a piece of paper or illustration board. I have posted two
images to illustrate some of my latest work. In my next post I will show how
some of these techniques where done.
