Love is a feeling that is hard to describe in words. They are concrete, and this feeling is comprehensive, many-sided, changing, like pictures in a children's kaleidoscope. To tell about love more clearly, emotionally, music and painting can probably best of all.

Pencil, brush and paints

How can you draw love? Let's remember the paintings of the great masters on this eternal theme. For example, Lawrence's "Farewell Kiss", Burne-Jones's "Mergence of Souls", Bouguereau's "Idyll", Chagall's "Above the City" and others. What is striking about them? The joy of being, the tenderness of beauty, the splendor of passion, inspiration. But there are other canvases expressing jealousy, despair, even hatred. To know how to draw love like this, look at the works of Gauguin “Are you jealous?”, “Ingress, Paolo and Francesca” by Ingres and many other amazing paintings. As you can see, they are all very different, but they are talking about the same thing. And we mentioned this only about the relationship between a man and a woman. And if you draw a quivering, holy - maternal love? How might she look? There are also many examples of painting - both ancient and modern."Madonna Litta" by da Vinci, "Sistine Madonna" by Raphael - all these paintings embody the best that can be in a person, in a woman. To draw love for nature, homeland, it is enough to recall the works of Levitan, Shishkin, Monet … The list can be continued for a long time. The most important thing, perhaps, is to really experience the emotions that you are going to convey on paper, and do it as sincerely as possible.

Choose a plot

How does creativity begin? From the moment of inspiration, when an irresistible desire to get to work is born. From the plot that comes to mind, excites the mind and soul, requires implementation. How to draw love? With a pencil, a sketch of what has formed in the imagination into a complete picture is sketched in stages. Why pencil? Because in the process of work you want to change something, something will require processing. Charcoal lead is easier to erase with an eraser than to remove strokes made with paints or colored pencils. Draw lines without pressure so that there are no marks and dirt on the sheet. And only then, when the sketch is ready, you can do the work in color.

Creative process

How to draw love in stages, if the picture is an allegory: two hands outstretched to each other, against the backdrop of the rising sun? Such a canvas personifies the nascent relationship, bright and hot hopes, like the star itself. Youthful feelings filled with romance and passion. With a pencil sketch out the contours of the hands - approximatelyso that they fall in the middle of the sheet. Draw details carefully. A woman's hand should look fragile, with thin long fingers, a graceful wrist. Men's is larger. Try to portray it in such a way that strength and tenderness are felt. The drawing will turn out to be more expressive and plastic if the hands lightly touch each other with their fingers. Thus, you will convey the timidity and awe of the first touch of lovers. In the background, draw the solar disk, but not clear, but somewhat blurry. It is not so much he himself that is important, but the radiant radiance, golden-pink, coloring everything around in festive, warm colors. To achieve this effect, a simple technique will allow: use a straight razor blade to scratch the smallest crumbs from the leads of pencils of the corresponding colors and then carefully rub them on the paper. Decorate the edges of the picture in light blue - the color of the sky, which symbolizes hopes, lofty feelings and dreams. In this case, it will be that talking detail that will allow you to put the right accent in the picture. Or leave your work in black and white. If you did a good job and put your soul into it, it will be clear and close to any viewer.

And more offers

Pencil drawings about love can be very different. This is a mother bent over the cradle of a child, and a brother playing with his sister, and a heart pierced by an arrow. A couple frozen in an embrace or whirling in a dance, erotic scenes or just the word "love" written in a graffiti style orgothic font. Even a bouquet of flowers or only one rose can express the depth of feelings that overwhelm the artist. And it doesn’t matter if you still lack skill, and the performance technique is far from ideal. Creativity is, first of all, an act of self-expression. So good luck and real feelings!
