How do I sketch a John Deere tractor as realistically as possible?
I am making a watercolour present for a friend who has a passion for the old, classic John Deere tractors. The problem is, I have never seen one in my life (aside from staring at pictures on the Internet), and I can't get my sketches to look right. Is there anything I can do?
TAKE A PICTURE OF THE TRACTOR FROM THE INTERNET IN THE ANGLE YOU WANT TO SKETCH ( HEAD ON , SIDE VIEW, BACK VIEW , 3 / 4 PROFILE , ECT , ECT ) . THEN PRINT IT OUT , AS LARGE AS YOU CAN . LAY IT OUT FLAT ON YOUR TABLE , THEN LAY CLEAR GRAFF , SAY 1 / 4" X 1 / 4" SQUARE OVER IT AND TRACE THE TRACTOR IN AS MUCH DETAIL AS YOU WANT . NOW DETERMINE HOW LARGE YOU WANT THE SKETCH TO BE . IF YOU WANT THE SKETCH TO BE 1-1 / 2 TIMES LARGER THAN YOUR TRACE OUT THEN VERY LIGHTLY ( LATER YOU WILL ERASE ) PUT A GRID ON WHATEVER YOU ARE USING 3 / 8" X 3 / 8" USING THE 1 / 4" TRACEING NOW DRAW IT OUT ON YOUR 3 / 8" GRID AT EXACTLY 1 SQUARE TO 1 SQUARE , THAT WILL STREACH IT OUT TO 1&1/2 TIMES. NOW IF YOU WANT IT TWICE AS LARGE MAKE YOUR GRID 1/ 2" X 1 / 2"OR IF YOU WANT TO GO 2 & 1 /2 TIMES LARGER MAKE YOUR GRID 5 / 8" X 5 / 8" THREE TIMES = 3 / 4" X 3 / 4" GRID FOUR TIMES = 1" X 1" GRID . JUST REMEMBER ALWAYS GO 1 SQUARE TO 1 SQUARE , IF A CERTAIN LINE ON YOUR TRACING IS 4 SQUARES THEN YOU DRAW 4 SQUARES ON YOUR GRID IT WILL ENLARGE YOUR SKETCH IN PERPORTION AS YOU DRAW IT . NOW IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY CLEAR GRAFF SHEETS , YOU CAN MAKE ONE WITH A CRYSLAL CLEAR FOOD WRAP AND A 12" RULER AND A VERY FINE FELT TIP PEN . I HOPE THIS IS CLEAR ENOUGH FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND, SOMETIMES I DON'T EXPLAIN THINGS AS WELL AS I SHOULD . IF YOU NEED MORE ON THIS MAKE ME A CONTACT AND WHEN YOU DO THE NEXT QUESTION A COPY WILL BE EMAILED TO ME
