First, prepare tools and materials for painting. You can choose to use pencils, markers, watercolors, or oil paints, and choose the right tools according to your preferences and proficiency. At the same time, prepare a large drawing paper or canvas to better show the grandeur and details of the Forbidden City.
Make a simple composition of the structure of the red wall of the Forbidden City before painting. You can draw the outline and basic framework of the Forbidden City with a pencil, including the main building, the fence and the gatehouse. , and leave appropriate space to show the snow scene. Pay attention to the relationship between proportion and perspective in the process of composition, and try to restore the true face of the Forbidden City.
Next, gently fill the sky with light gray or light blue pencils or watercolors to show the cold breath of winter. Then fill the red wall of the Forbidden City with crimson or brownish red pigments or pencils, and pay attention to leaving some room for light and shade changes to highlight the three-dimensional sense of the building. When drawing a red wall, we can use different degrees of diagonal lines or cross lines to outline the texture and texture of the brick.
Then, use white paint or white lead to gently show the scene of snowflakes falling on red walls and roofs. You can use tools such as brushes, sponges or fingers to present the shape and layering of snowflakes by lightly daubing or embellishing them. Snowflakes can be densely distributed on red walls and roofs, and can also properly show the effect of snow on the ground and trees.
Then, continue to draw the details of the Forbidden City. Draw the outline of the buildings, doors, windows and roofs of the Forbidden City with dark pigments or colored pencils. Pay attention to outline the details of panes, cornices and various decorations with a small brush or pencil.
Finally, touch up the decoration. You can adjust and strengthen the whole picture according to your own aesthetic preferences. Add some deep shadows and light effects to make the whole picture more layered and stereoscopic. You can also add some surrounding scenery, such as gardens, trees or people, to increase the vividness and interest of the picture.
In the process of drawing, we should pay attention to the details of the snow scene on the red wall of the Forbidden City, especially the structure and texture of the building, as well as the shape and distribution of snowflakes. You can refer to some real photos or pictures to help grasp the overall image and atmosphere of the Forbidden City.
In short, it takes patience and care to draw snow scenes on the red walls of the Forbidden City. Only by practicing and trying constantly and mastering painting skills can we draw a work with artistic value and expressive force.
