Hi guys! This is wwonli:3

I came back with a new tutorial. Transparent art. Think it's hard? I will show you that this is not so.

I will show you a very simple way without any difficulties to draw transparent things and objects.

 

~I also added subtitles for you, as well as timecodes, for your convenience.

Thank you for your attention. Now let's get started

So what am I going to show you? I will explain how to draw glassware (glasses and bottles), liquid in them, ice, wet clothes, as well as water

Easy way to draw glassware (Glasses)

To get started, prepare the base (line), For the line I recommend using the tool Figure, such as the Polyline or Continuous Curve, to simplify the drawing of such objects, with even and symmetrical shapes.

Create a layer below your line and fill it with white. Then, using an eraser, I make our glass transparent, leaving color only along the edges. In the video, I use this step last, but it doesn’t make much difference.

Now we need the same layer but darker, the color may vary depending on your colors of work, but I suggest taking a light blue-green. You can duplicate the layer with white color and click to lock transparent pixels and paint it in the color you need, or just do the same as with white color. Do the same with the eraser

Now show two layers at the same time. Here's what we got~

All that remains for us is just to add highlights.

Add, experiment, see how you like more. That's all, pretty simple, isn't it?

Liquid in glassware

Now I will show how to draw liquid in your transparent dish, in fact it is even easier. Just go down below all layers and fill the glass with the liquid of the color that you need. Well, or you can draw on the layer after the line and just erase a little, making the water more transparent.

The most important thing when drawing liquid in a glass is that the liquid below is darker and the top lighter. That's all. Add a shadow, draw a surface from above with a light color and already experiment with the contents. You can add bubbles, ice, etc.

Ice for liquid

I'll show you how to simply draw ice, I don’t really bother, I draw any three cubes, I don’t use the line or something, we see the three sides of the cube, use the color like the color of a glass, one side will be dark, one light, one standard. Blur so that the cube is not so sloppy and draw highlights. And just using the eraser, you also erase the middle, leaving only the edges.

That's all, now we add ice to our water and choose a blending mode that is more suitable(My favorite is Linear Light and Divide).

 

Now you know how to draw glasses, the liquid inside them and ice.

Bottles

Let's move on to drawing bottles. In general, everything is the same, just a different form. We also create two layers with different colors and erase the center, leave only the edges.

The bottles of dark color are drawn differently. But here it’s even simpler, you need only one layer of dark color, create a new layer on top and add shadows.

Add a highlight for all bottles at the end.

 

We repeat the same steps from the previous method with liquids.

Wet clothes

Let's start:

1. I draw what is necessary, the clothes in which your character will be

2. I draw the base, that is, just what we have under wet clothes.

3. After that, fill your wet clothes with its color (I have it white)

Create a layer at the top and add some normal shadows.

Then create another layer on top and add shadows for the fabric that has stuck to the body. Just draw different shapes, on more convex parts the fabric sticks more. You can blur them a little.

4. Go to the layer with the normal color of the clothes and reduce its opacity to 80-90% and start to erase the parts that we painted in the layer with the shadows from the wet clothes on this layer.

The eraser that I use

5. You can watch and reduce the opacity of these layers, as well as change the blending mode, choosing the best.

What my layers look like:

So we finished drawing wet clothes.

Water

And so, it remains to show how to draw water when your character sits in it, lies, swims, and so on.

To do this, draw a character, select the color of water you want and draw. When a character sits or swims, the water envelops him.

Reduce the transparency of this layer so that it is clear that the water is transparent.

Also, do not forget to draw the seabed, if it is visible in the view.

The principle is the same as with water in a glass, the bottom of the water is darker, the top is lighter. Add a highlight to the surface of the water.

That's all.

Gratitude

It was really fun. I showed how to draw glass dishes, liquid in them, water, wet clothes.

Thank you very much for your viewing!

I hope this video was useful.

Take care of yourself!

 

If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them:3
