Drawn light
How to draw a diamond will be explained in this article! Today, diamonds have become an integral part of any jewelry collection. They are also an object of adoration and lust for young maidens waiting for a marriage proposal and older women gravitating towards the classics. But this was not always the case.
Until the 20th century, diamonds were quite rare, and their mining was limited to India and Brazil. By chance, precious specimens were also found in other parts of the world, but such finds remained the rarest exception. At the same time, diamonds were not of special value; colored minerals such as emeralds, sapphires, and rubies were much more valued.
In crowns, the central place was most often given to colored gemstones. The discovery of new deposits turned everything upside down. When in 1870 it became clear that the bowels of South Africa hold countless gems, a real “diamond fever” began. And this became a certain problem: supply so exceeded demand that diamonds, already not very popular with buyers, seriously lost in price.
Drawing a diamond is not easy, but follow us and you will succeed! And in 1938, the love story of diamonds and the unthinkable frenzy around jewelry with them began. By 1938, the international company De Beers had long ago become a monopoly in South Africa, and it was it that controlled the mining and supply of diamonds all over the world. Therefore, it was De Beers that organized an unprecedented advertising campaign with the ambitious task of making the entire world population fall in love with diamonds.
The company gave diamond jewelry to movie divas, who wore it on shoots, social events, and flaunted their precious gifts in front of journalists’ cameras. De Beers designers, jewelers, and salesmen told about the aesthetics of the stone, taught to see its secret inner life, showed how the precious mineral changes after cutting, and how processing reveals its flawlessness.
But it was not even this that fundamentally changed history. What changed the history of diamonds was the slogan that De Beers’ creative team came up with: “Diamonds are forever. These words contain so many meanings that the revaluation of significance finally took place and captured the minds of all those who know how to enjoy the depth of content.
Let’s start drawing the diamond immediately!
How to draw a diamond easy ( option 1)
Step 1
The first step in drawing a diamond is to create its base!
Step 2
Next, draw two horizontal lines in the center of our diamond!
Step 3
Let’s draw the upper mesh part!
Step 4
So, in the next step, we divide the central part of the diamond into 6 equal parts!
Step 5
Next, draw four curved triangles at the bottom of the diamond!
Step 6
Draw the bottom part of the diamond and divide the triangles into smaller parts!
Step 7
Let’s color in the two small triangles at the top right!
Step 8
We also paint the two central lower triangles in bright blue!
Step 9
Let’s continue decorating our diamond, now on the right side!
Step 10
We add tone to the center and left sides of the diamond!
Step 11
In this step, we decorate the center of the diamond with bright colors!
Step 12
We finish decorating the top part of the diamond!
How to draw a diamond simple ( option 2)
Let’s start with an example that shows us how to draw a natural diamond. Be sure to find a ruler or something else on which you can draw, for example, one of the sides of the notebook. The drawing should be smooth and symmetrical, so we need a ruler.
Step 1
The first stage will be drawing the upper line, whose edges are lowered down.
Step 2
We connect the edges with two long lines from the bottom, and we will have the contours of our future drawing.
Step 3
Draw a horizontal strip and two more vertical ones, going from the bottom point to the top as in the picture below.
Step 4
In the upper part, we draw two more short lines. Pay attention to an interesting fact, there are eight triangles inside our diamond, and there is no other figure, no square, no polygon, or anything else.
Step 5
The final stage is the colorization.
Six diamonds
This time we will consider how to draw a diamond in stages, or slightly 6 pieces at a time. Precious jewelry does not have to be shaped like in the previous example. They can have absolutely any form, and in this example, we will demonstrate this to you.
So, we represent the contours of our jewelry. Some stones will have rounded outer contours, but despite this, the inner shapes will be even and consist of polygons (an example can be seen in the upper row in the picture below).
Now we need to limit our diamonds. We draw smooth lines from corner to corner and create a web.
Looking at the picture below, you may be afraid of complex interlacing, but do not be scared. It’s better to take a look at the video tutorial (located just below) in which you can see the live drawing process and understand that drawing this web is quite simple.
On each stone on the left side of the central part, we make a white highlight, and everything else will be painted. Our jewelry is ready!
Another four examples of faceted stones
Let’s look at four more examples that will help us understand how to draw a diamond. This time we will not go into any explanations, because everything is quite simple here. We take a ruler, sharpen a pencil and proceed!
First diamond
We already considered this example at the very beginning, but the way of drawing is slightly different this time. If then we first depicted the outlines, now we need to draw two triangles of various sizes that grow from one point.
Second
All these examples almost do not differ from each other, but there are differences in cutting. Someone may like one way of drawing, and someone else is entirely different, so we’ll look at all the options.
The third
This drawing example is also quite standard and is depicted using the ruler quite simply.
Fourth
The last way of drawing in the framework of this article will be slightly different from the previous ones. This time our diamond will have a square shape. It has the maximum number of faces and is, perhaps, the most complicated way of drawing.
How to draw a brilliant Pencil
Also, it is highly recommended that you watch this video tutorial, which demonstrates how to draw diamonds with a pencil. Although the video is in English and you probably do not know it, look at it, and in your head, you will have useful knowledge of drawing.
