Try to keep the line as consistent (and round) as possible. This line should be thicker than the black lines. Double load (dip it in both brown and white) then paint the circle. It helps to water the black down a bit so you get a nice controllable, flowing line.įor the outer part of the circle, I used the color raw umber and titanium white as well as a #6 round brush. Now that you have it all drawn in, it’s time to paint! Use a 10/0 round brush and mars black to paint over all the design lines inside the circle. Step 3 Paint The Design Inside The Circle You can also essentially make a “cut out template” of this cat eye shape and retrace the shape around the circle.Ĭontinue drawing the cat eye shapes all the way around the circle. Each new “cat eye shape” overlaps the previous one. When you draw the cat eye shapes, start from the circle and go to each tick mark. These are where the points of your cat eye shapes will be. Make tick marks at the half way points and quarter way points along the diameter of the circle. These are where the tips of the “cat eye shapes” are going to be.

To draw the design in the middle, I first marked the half way points on the circle (black marks) and then the half way points again (gray marks). This is only a graphic of what my drawing looked like with pencil. See the image below for how the drawing looks: Use a pencil to draw this, not a sharpie. Then draw three strings going down from the large circle. Use a pencil to do this drawing part.Īfter you trace the initial circle, draw a small circle in the center. I used a coffee can lid with a 6.5″ diameter to trace the circle. Step 2 Draw The Dream Catcher With Pencil You want to see variations of the color in this background. Continue to blend the white with the turquoise but don’t over blend. Paint long diagonal strokes using the full width of the brush letting the colors blend on the canvas.įill the canvas with these diagonal strokes.

Just dip the brush in equal amounts of white and turquoise. Using a 3/4 flat brush, double load the brush in turquoise and titanium white.
