How to Draw a Cricket Bat
Drawing a cricket bat is a simple task attributable essentially to its intrinsic rectangular shape and easy accessibility for reference.
Although cricket bats are unique in the terms of material, coating, size, style, & color, their basic look & shape remains constant.
Get a picture of the bat you would like to draw or observe the one lying at your home.
Things you will need: 1.
Pencil 2.
Eraser 3.
Paper/ Canvass 4.
Colors (Optional) 5.
Paint Brush (Optional) Here is how in some easy steps you can draw a cricket bat: I.
Observe the Subject: One of the simplest methods to draw a subject is to observe it from an acceptable distance.
Break the bat into large geometrical shapes - an oval & a thin rectangle for the handle and a long rectangle for the paddle of the bat.
II.
Basic Outline: 1.
Paddle - With a light hand, draw a faint rectangular shape somewhat tilted towards the right.
The size of the rectangle should be in proportion to the bat you want to portray.
2.
Handle - On the upper centre side of the paddle, draw a thin rectangle horizontal again to be in accordance with the tilted paddle of the cricket bat.
Now, end the handle with a small oval shape.
Once the outline has been perfected, it can be darkened and the unwanted lines be erased.
III.
Enhance Features 1.
Paddle - Round off the lower edge of the paddle with a smooth semi-circle.
On its upper portion, draw curved lines on the either sides, starting from the centre of the paddle and going to the left & the right direction respectively, but not right until the edge.
They should be two strong curved strokes to bring out the three dimensional effect in the bat.
2.
Handle - Fair out the handle by joining, the rectangle & the oval and, the base of the handle to the paddle with curved lines on its either sides.
Add horizontal lines on the handle to illustrate grip marks.
IV.
Coloring/Shading the cricket Bat: Note and incorporate the finer aspects of the cricket bat, such as the unique markings, texture of the paddle due to the wear and tear, natural shades, and the lighting effect.
For instance, the base of the cricket bat can have a frayed effect and the center of the paddle can have horizontal lines to bring out the grainy effect of the wood or the strike marks caused due to use.
