With all of my tutorials there are common words or phrases that I use like ‘Optimal Pen Tip Position’ or ‘Circular Motion,’ if you are unfamiliar with my terminology I have a tutorial that explains them. Using the Shader
For this artwork, I used a stamp. This photo shows the image of the stamp. This is the line drawing I traced onto the wood from the stamped image. You can choose, if you’d prefer, to use the line drawing I did or the pdf of the stamp.
This image is the low contrast version of the bridge. I will only be using this version to occasionally compare it with the high contrast version. The process that I used to create this version is exactly the same as the high contrast; the only different is the range of tonal values I used. For the low contrast I tried to keep everything in the tan...
Smooth the wood surface by sanding it with at least 220 grit sandpaper. Then thoroughly wet the board by misting it with water or running it quickly under the sink faucet. Let the board dry and then sand again. This will produce a super smooth surface. The smoother the surface is the better the burn results will be.
I use the tracing method to transfer all my patterns to my projects. It’s cheap, easy, and gives me control on what I want to include. Print off your pattern on lightweight paper (standard copier paper is perfect), coat the back of the pattern with a graphite pencil, position on the wood, and trace over the pattern. Make sure to check the trace res...
With the writing pen tip on medium low, lightly burn in the trace lines. After you have burned in the trace lines, rub over the surface with a pencil eraser to remove any residual graphite.
We’ll begin with the shadows on the bridge and the tree branches. Use a shader of your choice to darkly burn in the visible walls inside the bridge. Be careful when burning around the flower petals. Keep your pen tip in optimal position when burning around the edges. I tend to burn around the edges first and then fill in the center. Switch to a wri...
Now we’ll burn in all of the trees in the background behind the bridge. Let’s begin with the largest tree to near the front opening of the bridge. I used circular motion to create the foliage, so let’s see how that was accomplished. Use a shader of your choice and move your hand in a very small circular motion. Start at the back or shady side of th...
Our prefabricated steel bridges can accommodate asphalt, concrete, gravel or treated timber driving surfaces. We offer prefabricated steel back walls, pre-engineered SuperSill® abutments, guiderail systems and concrete abutment design services ensuring your bridge design is fully integrated with your project.
