How to Draw Mona Lisa With Crayons 🖍

0:00Do do do do do, um-hmm. Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh. Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh. Well, Sammy, are you ready? Let's show our drawings. Wow, show it's literally me. How did you do this? Yeah, well, let's team up next time. What do you think, show? I don't mind, Sammy. Who should we draw? Should I call Roger? Roger is too small for a shoe. With such a team, we can even target the Mona Lisa. Oh, that's a great idea, Sammy. Hi, guys. Today, we're going to make something really unusual. We'll make a copy of the most famous portrait in the world, the Mona Lisa. I've already found a perfect reference. Thank you, Sammy. First of all, we need to sketch out the proportions for future drawings, because the Mona Lisa is a very proportional picture.

1:01Let's do it by hand. We'll start with the head and hair. So do all people have the same face proportions? Um, not really, Sammy. All people have different features. I mean, the eyes, nose, and mouth. But there is no one as beautiful and perfect as me. It's time to go in with the shadows and the highlights. Don't skip this part, because it will help us to understand the proportions better. Correct proportions is like 90% of a perfect drawing. Oh, shoot. You call that a drawing?

2:02Did you think this was ready? Of course, it's not. We've just made the sketch so that the final result will be nice and clean. Now we're going to transfer the main lines onto a new paper sheet. For this, we'll need a piece of sepia chalk stick. Where is it? Is this a brown one you're searching for? I know, you want Sammy. It's all very simple. We just need to rub it all over the back of our drawing. What are we going to do to draw our Mona Lisa picture? The oil paints like Deb and she did. Or acrylic paints which are much easier. Or maybe watercolor. Oh, did I forget to tell you? We need crayons. That'll be something new. Then I better go get a new paper such a special occasion. I didn't know we had one. This flame has so many secrets. In the meantime, let's place the drawing on top of the clean sheet and go over the outline. Try to do it very precisely and tightly

3:04so that the imprint becomes clearly visible on the paper. Like this. OK, this is the Mona guys' fingers crossed. I hope it worked. Tada! That's great! Give us a thumbs up, guys. If you like that simple and effective technique. What's that? Tada! Let's see if I'm still able to do magic tricks. Sammy, you need to be careful with crayons. Sorry. There you go. That's better. Absolutely. OK, let's go. We'll start with the easiest part and the biggest spot on Mona Lisa's figure, her hair. At first we'll use the lighter colors because that way we won't make any serious mistakes. And then we'll add the darker colors. And all the colors will start to blend.

4:06Oh, it's going to be so great. Hi, I heard people call in the painting Joqanta. I wonder why it tricked me so soon. I didn't see any. The thing is, the title of this painting comes from Georgia Vassari's biography of Leonardo da Vinci, in which he calls this lady Lisa Gerardini, the wife of a wealthy, florentine businessman, Francesco Del Jocondo. OK, I get it. But what does Mona mean? Mona was a common Italian contraction of Madonna, meaning my lady or Madame. Hey, Chorresting. I see the hair is done and you need this for the face. You're absolutely right, Sammy. We get to the main and hardest part of our drawing. The technique is the same. We'll start with lighter colors. Try to work with the whole piece, guys, not with the spots,

5:07and then add darker shadows. Hey, she just me or does she not really have eyebrows? You have a sharp eye, Sammy. Yes, she had her eyebrows shaved for real. Some people say that's because she followed the high fashion of the time, while others insist that the drawing is unfinished. Anyway, in 2007, the ultra-detailed digital scan revealed that her eyebrows had simply faded over time and years of restoration works. So many secrets. Such a mysterious work. Yes, Sammy, exactly. Still, nobody is sure who this lady was.

6:08There's a theory that it's a female representation of Leonardo da Vinci himself. Can you imagine that? Oh, this is so interesting. Oh, done, Sammy. Check it out. So it's really great, Buddha. Maybe we should paint her dress in the background. Of course. That'll be our next step. OK, guys, let's work on her dress. Sammy, bring me the green crayon, please. There you are. I know lighter colors first. Thank you, Sammy. You're a great helper. I'm a lucky to have you who can draw shall well. And you can make a copy of this great masterpiece. I'll hang it in our dining room with great pleasure. You're not the only one who wants to have this drawing, Sammy. In 1911, the Mona Lisa was stolen from Paris's Louvre Museum. And you know who was under suspicion? Maybe the head of the Louvre.

7:09You've got the potential of a crime fiction author, but no. You guys are strong. Now don't take us all waiting. Tell us the correct answer. It was Pablo Picasso. But everything was fine to him. After two years, they busted the essential paruja, trying to sell the Mona Lisa to a Florence art dealer. How do you like it, guys? Thank you, Buzz, thumbs up. Now we can finally get to the background. We'll start with the sketch. But guys, don't work on it too much, or it will steal the whole attention from the foreground. And it's time to color it up. We'll make this sky using a moss green crayon. MUSIC PLAYING Oh, we're almost done. I'm so excited.

8:11Yes, Sammy, just a little bit left. MUSIC PLAYING Hey, Mr. Sharfai. Have you ever noticed something over Mona Lisa's left shoulder? MUSIC PLAYING I don't know. Usually my eyes are on Mona Lisa. I know it on the background. And that's the reason not many people notice this little bridge. It's called the Ponte Vecchio. And it used to be situated in the center of Bubio, a little village in Northern Italy. Unfortunately, in 1472, it was ruined by the great flood. Oh, I really like how it turned out. All we've got left to do is one tiny final thing with the face. That's why you asked to sharpen all the crayons. Yes, we need to be very precise at this point. We're going to add more shadows, more highlights here and there, so that it becomes more like a Renaissance painting. We'll also go over this part again in order to blend all the colors more softly.

9:12All done! Wow, so that's awesome! You never told me you can draw like Leonardo da Vinci. Come on, you overestimate me and my skills. I think it'll take a lot of time. Or even my whole life to draw like the real master. But without false modesty, I do say the drawing is sure awesome. This work definitely deserves to be hanged in Deluvra. Oh, thank you, Sammy. If you like our drawing, guys, give us a thumbs up.
