How to draw a bottle with a handle. Vases made from glass bottles: decor, painting and trimming

Sometimes some novice artists wonder: how to draw a bottle? This item may simply need to be depicted in a still life, a picture dedicated to a pirate theme, or as an independent element. So, today we’ll pay attention to this glass vessel and try to figure out how to draw a bottle with a pencil, and not just draw it, but make it as similar to the real thing as possible, certainly adding volume and streamlining.

Selecting the right bottle

It is known that there are quite a lot of bottles, namely their varieties. Well, for example, it could be a plastic bottle, or a clay, glass or decorative one, a small baby bottle intended for formula milk, or a huge collectible bottle, in which, by the way, some kind of beautiful item: car, ship or tower.

It is worth noting that different bottles are drawn in essentially the same way. The only differences may be the stopper, label or shape of the container. But today we’ll talk about a glass bottle that is intended for wine.

Let's get started

Always before you start drawing, you need to sharpen your pencil, prepare a landscape sheet and put an eraser nearby, although it may not be useful, because drawing a bottle is like a real artist, even a child can do it, because it is absolutely easy. When everything is prepared, little remains to be done.

Let's start the drawing process:

1. It is advisable to place the landscape sheet vertically before work. Still, we will draw a full-size bottle and cover almost the entire sheet. Draw a straight line under a ruler or by hand, the length of this line will symbolize the height of the future glass vessel. We complete the resulting straight line with horizontal segments, and the line should be small at the top and larger at the bottom, because this is the future bottom of the vessel. And then we divide the visually drawn straight line into three equal parts. We separate the first part with a horizontal line - this will later be the neck of the bottle being drawn, and leave the rest of the part as it is - this will be the so-called “body” of the bottle. The first stage in the question of how to draw a bottle can be considered complete. Let's move on.
2. The next step in drawing a glass wine bottle will be to give it so-called volume, in other words, we will try to depict its side edges. To do this, from the very bottom on both sides of a straight line drawn in advance, we will draw symmetrical parallel ones up to the horizontal mark, and then, not forgetting about symmetry, we will round the lines and, having halved the width, draw again straight lines almost to the very top. In the place where the cork is usually attached to the bottle itself, two convex round curves should be added, resembling the halves of the number 8.

Finishing the job

In order to enjoy the finished masterpiece and paint the bottle like a real one, there are several tricks that will be discussed below:

1. The first thing you need to do is round the bottom and top of the vessel you are drawing. To do this, from the lowest horizontal mark, which was previously designated as the bottom of the bottle, draw a semi-oval, with the convex side towards the bottom. Then we go directly to the traffic jam. All the lines that we will draw at the top, on the contrary, should be rounded in the opposite direction relative to the bottom. Artists use this visual illusion when trying to draw almost all known vessels: vases, bottles, glasses.
2. The last step in the work will be to clear the drawing of unnecessary things. All lines that were previously drawn inside the vessel should be erased with an eraser.

When everything is ready

Now that it flaunts on the sheet three-dimensional image, all that remains is to either decorate it or teach others how to draw a bottle, step by step and professionally.

To achieve the desired result of the exercise, use parchment Bristol cardboard and an HB pencil. The parchment surface of this cardboard is more rough than that of smooth cardboard, as a result of which pencil marks will look darker.

We combine objects into a composition.

First make a rough sketch of a wine bottle, a loaf of bread, a knife and a cutting board - you will add the missing components in step 2. Continue refining the shapes of the objects in step 3, and then sketch the background.

Placement of highlights and shadows.

Use light strokes to indicate the location of the highlights, otherwise you may inadvertently shade them. Next, add shadows using uniform diagonal strokes. Use vertical strokes on the ends of the cutting board.

Attention to the elements.

The figure shows close-up examples of how the silhouette of the plane of the wine is distorted due to the uneven curvilinear shape of the bottle. The artist must note these components in order to create natural, realistic pictures.

Elaboration of form and structure.

To draw the heterogeneous structure of the bread crumb, draw a large number of various small strokes - lines, dots and spots that well convey the spongy plane of the bread cut. When drawing the crust, use long, smooth strokes along the curved plane of the bread. Finally, add broken stripes on the crust - this will give additional realism.

Components of glassware.

To believably draw the sparkling plane of glass, complete exercises 1 to 3, drawing the neck of the bottle. Draw areas where there will be highlights and shadows, and then moderately shade the areas without highlights. Finally, fill in the darkest areas and clear out any highlights with a kneaded eraser.

Look at the final image that you will get after this tutorial.

Step 1. Create a new document and go View > Show > Grid(View - Show - Grid). Then using the tool PenTool(Pen) draw half of the bottle. Take time in this step to draw good shape. If necessary, use the outline of the bottle. See the picture below.

Step 2. Create a new layer and name it “Bottle Shape”. Go to the outline palette and click on the icon Load Path As Selection(Load Path as Selection) at the bottom of the Layers palette. Fill the selection with black. If necessary, clean the edges of the bottle with a tool LassoTool(Lasso). Duplicate the layer and go Edit >Transform >Fliphorizontal(Editing - Transform - Flip Horizontal). Move the layer copy to create a whole bottle. Merge the two layers together.

Step 3. Apply the following layer style to the current layer GradientOverlay(Gradient Overlay): gradient from #110202 to black. See the picture below.
The bottle will be filled with black, but the dark red color in the middle of the gradient will give it a little volume.

Step 4. Select a tool RoundedRectangleTool(Rectangle with rounded corners), set Radius(Radius) 30px and create a large white rectangle on the left side of the bottle. Then a red rectangle on the right and an oval above it and three more shapes, as shown in the picture below. Rasterize each layer Layer >Rasterize >Layer(Layer - Rasterize - Layer). Merge all layers.

Step 5. Go Filter>Blur >GaussianBlur(Filter - Blur - Gaussian Blur) and set the following parameters. Install Opacity(Transparency) 40%.

Step 6. Create a new layer "Label 1". Tool RectangularMarqueeTool(Rectangular Selection) Create a selection that spans the width of the entire bottle. Fill the selection with white.
To create the effect of a round bottle, apply a Gradient Overlay. The author used the following colors: medium gray - light gray - transparent - transparent - light gray - medium gray, 0%, 10%, 25%, 75%, 90%, 100%.

Step 7 Create a new layer "Label 2", make rectangular selection under the white label. Fill it with black and apply a Gradient Overlay, gradient from black to dark gray to black.

Step 8 Create a new layer “Label 3”, create a 2px stripe above the black stripe and fill it with the following gradient. Then make a copy of the current layer and place it under the black stripe.

Step 9 Create a new layer "Label 4", create another selection under the bottom gold stripe and fill it with dark blue. Apply a layer style Gradient overlay, gradient: black - dark blue - black.

Step 10 Finally, copy one of the gold lines and place it under the dark blue stripe. Create another 1px stripe, place it below the bottom gold stripe and apply Gradient overlay, gradient: light gray - white - light gray. Set the transparency to 65%.

Step 11 Select a tool horizontalTypeTool(Horizontal Text), create a text box across the entire label. Then apply a center text alignment. For the inscription on the label, the author used various fonts and sizes (see picture below). You can choose your own option.

Step 12 Find a suitable image for the label and paste it below the text layer. The author used a photograph of grapes. Then desaturate the image Image >Adjustments >Desaturate(Image - Adjustments - Desaturate). Cut out top part Pictures.

Step 13 Now cut out those parts of the picture that extend beyond the edges of the bottle. This way you should get a picture only on the bottle. Go to Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast (Image - Correction - Brightness / Contrast), set Brightness (Brightness) +90, Contrast (Contrast) +50.
Using the soft-edged Eraser Tool, erase the bottom of the image to create the effect smooth transition pictures on the label. Place the grape layer above the “Label 1” layer and merge the two layers together. Thus, the gradient: gray - transparent - gray will be applied to the picture.

Step 14 Now add gold text to the label. Go Edit >Transform >Rotate(Edit - Transform - Rotate) and rotate your text counterclockwise. Then create a new layer and use the tool PenTool(Pen) draw a line. Apply a Gradient Overlay style to the line and text.

Step 15 Create a new layer and name it “Bottle Top”. Create a rectangular selection on the neck of the bottle. The selection should extend beyond the bottle by 1px in width. Then apply the following Gradient Overlay.

Step 16 Select the top few pixels of the current layer and go Edit >Transform >Perspective(Editing - Transform - Perspective). Shift the upper corners of the perspective slightly towards the center.

Step 17 Let's add some shadow. Create a new layer and name it "Gradient Line". Create a selection under the line that was currently being modified, apply gradient clear to #2C281D.

Step 18 Create a new layer "Highlight". Select the top part of the label (above the Gradient Line layer area) with the tool LassoTool(Lasso). Then fill the selection with white. Set Blending Mode to Overlay(Overlap), opacity 40%.

Step 19 Using a tool MarqueeTool(Rectangular Selection) Select the top part of the “Bottle Top” layer. Copy/paste to a new layer “Bottle Top 2” and do Edit >Transform >FlipVertica l (Editing - Transform - Flip Vertical). Move the layer up so that it joins the bottom “Bottle Top” layer. Then copy the Gradient Overlay style of the “Bottle Top” layer and paste it into the “Bottle Top 2” layer.
Create a new layer "Shadows". On the right side add a shadow using the tools Lasso And Gradient(gradient: from black to transparent).

Step 20. Duplicate the “Bottle Top 2” layer, place it on top of all layers and name it “Bottle Top 3”. Go Edit >Transform >FlipVertical(Edit - Transform - Flip Vertical), align with the top label. Apply style Drop Shadow(Shadow) to the current layer.
Tool Lasso Select this area and create a new “Light” layer. Fill the selection with white. Set the Layer Blend Mode to Overlap, transparency 40%.

Step 21 Create a new 3px by 12px document. Create a new layer and fill the right row of pixels with black, the middle one with white, and leave the rest empty. Next, hide the background layer and go to Edit >DefinePattern(Edit - Define Pattern), save the pattern as "wine stripes".
Now go back to the main document, create a new layer “Stripes”. Using the Rectangular Marquee Tool, create a selection above the shape of the “Bottle Top 3” layer and fill it with black.
Install Fill(Fill) layer 0%. Apply style Pattern Overlay(Pattern Overlay) using a saved pattern.

Step 22 Create a new layer “Bottle Top 4” above all layers. Create a selection above your pattern, but twice as tall as it is. Fill this selection with gold color. Next, copy the “Bottle Top 1” layer style and paste it into the current layer. See the picture below.

Step 23 Create a new layer and use the tool Rectangle with rounded corners(radius 6px) Create a shape with color #F7EDD3 on the “Bottle Top 4” layer area. Go Edit - Transform - Rotate and turn slightly counterclockwise. Apply the following layer styles.
Finally, make a copy of this shape and place it above the original.

Step 24 Create a layer above all layers and name it “Lid”. Create a rounded rectangle (6px radius) and fill it with #F7EDD3 color. The figure should be wider than the previous ones and should cover part of the top line. Rasterize the layer with the tool Rectangular selection cut a 2 px wide strip at the bottom of this shape.

Step 25 Copy the Bottle Top 3 layer styles and paste them into the Cap layer.

Step 26 Create a new layer "Lid Shadow". Using the tool Rectangular selection And Linear Gradient(gradient: black to transparent) create shadows on the bottle cap. Set the layer opacity to 40%.

Step 27 There are a few areas left that look unfinished. They should be corrected. Create a new layer. Select a soft brush white and go over the center of the “Bottle Top” layer. Set the Opacity of this layer to 40%. Opacity of the shadow layer is 20%.

Step 28 It remains to remove the top part of the bottle above the cap with a tool Rectangular selection. The bottle of wine is ready!

Step 29 Hide the white background layer. Go Layer >MergeVisible(Layer - Merge Visible). All layers merged into one. Duplicate the layer and place it under the original. Go Edit >Transform >Scale(Edit - Transform - Scale) and resize it to 95% of the original and place it to the left of the main bottle. Duplicate the layer and place it to the right of the original. You can use a mesh to make the bottles look symmetrical.

Step 30. Let's create a nice background. Hide the layers with the bottles and create a new layer below them, call it “Gray Background”. Apply a radial gradient. See picture.

Step 31 Create a new layer and name it “Clouds”. Go Filter >Render >Clouds(Filter - Rendering - Clouds). Set the Layer Blend Mode to Overlap, transparency 30%.

Step 32 Make the bottle layers visible. Merge them into one layer and make a copy of the merged layer. Run the command Editing - Transform - Flip Vertical and place a copy of the layer under the bottles. Stretch it a little Edit >Transform >Distort(Editing - Transforming - Distorting). Finally, change the Layer Blend Mode to Overlay and set the Opacity to 30%.

Take another look at the finished image.

Mode – Multiplication

Casting a shadow (Mode – Multiply).

Select a spot on the vertical line where you want to place the bottom of the bottle. Make a point. Draw horizontal lines through it on both sides of the vertical. Place dots or dashes at equal distances from the middle; they will limit the size of the bottom of the bottle, so pay attention to symmetry and scale. Draw an ellipse passing through these points, its middle should be exactly at the intersection of the vertical and horizontal auxiliary lines.

Bottle height determination

Draw a horizontal line through the point at the top of the picture. Then use the technique described to measure how many times the neck of the bottle is narrower than the bottom. Observing proportions, mark points on the horizontal line. Construct an ellipse passing through them. Its center lies at the intersection of the auxiliary lines. Remember that the higher you draw the ellipse, the narrower it is, because we look at the lower figures as if from above, so we see them better.

Drawing

Video on the topic

Glasses, wine glasses and glasses appear with enviable regularity in still lifes, and therefore are perceived quite ordinary: the shape of the object is simple, and it itself often plays the role of an “extra.” However, working on such an object requires skill - glass is considered one of the most capricious materials for images. It will be useful for novice artists to practice drawing a glass, making it the only hero of the picture.

You will need

• - pastel paper;
• - a simple pencil;
• - eraser;
• - acrylic paints;
• - brushes;
• - a glass for water;
• - palette.

Instructions

Place the paper vertically. Swipe vertical line from the top to the bottom of the page. The ray dividing the plane in half is the central axis for constructing the object.

Using the sighting method, clarify all proportions. Take the height of the lower cone-shaped part of the leg as a unit of measurement. Calculate how many times this distance fits in each part of the glass: from the top edge of the glass to the liquid level almost two units (one and three quarters) will fit, then to the junction with the stem - two and one third, in the stem - two and two thirds. Make all the ticks longer: they will become auxiliary horizontal axes.

On each of horizontal lines construct ellipses that make up the shape of the glass. Make sure that the right and left parts of each of the ellipses are equal relative to the vertical axis and are rounded smoothly, without “flattening”.

Smooth lines connect the side parts of the ellipses, repeating the outlines of the glass. Erase everything auxiliary lines, leaving only the outlines of the object.

For realistic image Acrylic paints are suitable for glare glass: they are opaque enough to convey the richness of the wine in the glass, and when dissolved with water they will become translucent, like glass.

Start filling with the lightest areas, gradually increasing color saturation. Mix blue, red and white paint until a light lilac color is obtained, dilute it with water and apply to the sides of the cone on which the stem of the glass rests. In the areas to the right and left of the red highlight, blur so that the black color of the paper shines through it.

Using whitened red, sketch the junction of the main part of the glass with the stem and draw thin line on the surface of the wine. Having greatly diluted the same color, make two large strokes on the right and left sides of the glass closer to its upper edge.

Paint the bulk of the wine in the glass dark burgundy, allowing the background color to show through the paint. Using thick white paint, apply three highlights on the glass and a transparent highlight in the shape of a semicircle in the center of the design.

Dip a thin synthetic brush into white and brush it along the contours of the glass where they shine due to the incident light.
