How to draw a mantis video

The link to the mantis painting video webpage, the text introduction is as follows:

1. Place the mantis painting under the rice paper, use an outline pen according to the structural bone method, and use medium ink for the green mantis. For hooking, the brown-red mantis is hooked with rouge and ink, and the grass-white mantis is hooked with ocher ink.

2. Use dark grass green to dye according to the structure, use light ink for the belly, and the two compound eyes must be dyed to give a round and crystal feeling. Use light grass green cover to dye the whole body, and use magenta for the chest and abdomen. Although it is a cover dye, it is best to distinguish the light and heavy shades.

3. To outline the veins of the forewings, the pen should be light but powerful. To outline the two beards, the pen should be firm and powerful. Strength is found in softness. The saw spines of the forefoot should be drawn with heavy ink in the mud. Write out.

4. From a visual perspective, when drawing a pair of blade arms and a pair of hind feet, the outline should be heavier at the front and lighter at the back, and the coloring should be darker at the front and lighter at the back. The front and back must not be the same. Show vividness. The hooking of the ribs on the forewings cannot violate the physiological characteristics. The ribs are unreasonable and look like bamboo leaves, which is not in line with the physiological characteristics of the mantis. The small ribs on the wing edges are outlined with a pen and look like railings.

5. The six legs of the painting insect must be used for calligraphy, which is powerful and flexible. However, the joints in this picture are like the corners of a table, and there is no movement of the knee joints when folding the silk. The mantis is the most active among the grass insects. Its head is flexible and changeable, and it can be raised together with its blade and arms. It is very powerful. It is necessary to master its physiological characteristics such as dynamic movements, sensitive movements, large changes in posture, long legs, and long beards.

6. There are many types of praying mantises, but most of them are Chinese praying mantis and broad-bellied praying mantis because they have larger bodies and rich colors. The colors are mostly grass green, brown ocher, grass white, tender green, and young mantis grass is mostly green.
