Heart drawings (Part 2)

by Vincenzo

 

Heart drawings is a much beloved art and one of the favorite subjects of drawing aficionados. Let's see now how to complete the drawing started in the previous part.

 

 

 

Heart drawings - coloring the heart

Start by filling the heart with a red color of your choice. Try to be cool and smooth when you lay down your color. Also try to remain softer at the edges.

When you are done coloring the heart (you can use any type of color you want), make sure the edges are trimmed properly. In the next step we'll apply a nice highlight and the artwork will be completed.

 

Actually I was undecided to what type of reflection to add and a tried two different highlights that'll serve you as a guide. You pick the one you prefer or try something different!

 

Heart drawings - final touches

This is the first one. The highlight is positioned at the top left of the heart. It is always good to have a secondary small reflection nearby the major highlight ;)

And this is the second one. As you can see the highlight is lower and gives the heart a completely different look. Just play with the positioning of the highlights and come up with something yours!!

 

I'll leave you with a lovely collection of floating hearts!!! bye bye and see you in the next tutorial!
