Topiary leaves are interesting how to draw

Topiary leaves are interesting to draw as follows:

Tools/materials: a leaf, a pencil, a piece of white paper.

Steps:

1, pick a leaf that you want to topiary.

2. Prepare a pencil with a not too sharp tip.

3. Prepare a piece of white paper that is a little thicker to prevent poking and prodding when you make the topography.

4. Place the selected leaves on the table with their backs facing upwards, because the veins on the back of the leaves are clearer than on the front, which makes it easier to print.

5. Place the prepared white paper on top of the leaf and press it down.

6, with a pencil on top of the white paper horizontal, pencil as parallel as possible with the white paper, do not poke through the paper, to paint the entire leaf.

7, painted all over, the outline of the leaf appeared, this leaf is topiary good.

Topography is a handmade reproduction of a carved or stone-carved surface, which is made by tightly covering a sheet of paper over the work and topographing it with black or colored material. The traditional materials for topography are rice paper and a lumpy black material called topographic wax. Sometimes, especially in the topography of weak lines, it is more appropriate to use another method, that is, with a powdered graphite oil to achieve a certain dry hardness, and then applied to the paper with an inking tool.

Topography has been widely used to reproduce a wide range of reliefs from various cultures; to reproduce stone carvings, especially from ancient China and other Asian cultures; to reproduce monumental brass engravings from medieval churches; to reproduce tombstones from the pre-Conquest era of the United States; and even to make copies of fish in Japan. Artists also view the technique of topography as a creative process, coloring the topography and adding or altering the original lines.
