Sweat by sweat, time spent looking at photos and painting my pet was also very meaningful and significant for me. And the finished work was truly a one-of-a-kind gift in the world.

The number of pets that embellishes memories

Pet's The soft fur is very similar to the texture of embroidered threadsBecause of this, it makes me feel more realistic, especially in embroidery works. It has a charm that makes you feel more authentic and cozy than a photograph. Maybe it feels like that not only because of the characteristics of the material called thread, but also because of the love of the embroiderer:)

Embroidery works take some time to complete, but the advantage is that the finished appearance does not change over a long period of time. From all of you Today, I embroidered the image of a pet that catches my eye How about putting it in?

👉 Let's take a closer look at the course content?

However, it lays a solid foundation for animal embroidery.

Some of you may still be unfamiliar with embroidery. At the beginning of the class, in order to teach you the basics of embroidery, which only feels difficult Very basic content carefully I put it in. Let's understand embroidery together and start with simple techniques and expressions.

I think pet embroidery can be described as “drawing with thread.” In order to create a complete work, you must first identify the color and contrast of the object you want to embroider. After composing one color or three to four color threads, How to make the most of the three-dimensional effect according to the contrastLet's learn one by one.

2. Learn techniques in detail and meticulously.

There are many different stitching techniques in embroidery. Especially in this class In-depth techniques useful for animal embroidery I will learn and practice enough, starting with small parts.

Techniques for representing lines
How to know the direction of hair and fill cotton naturally
How to mix and embroider colors naturally

3. Let's choose a thread color that perfectly matches the color of the coat?

What many people are most curious about is choosing the thread color!

All animals have different colors of fur. However, the color of the thread we have to embroider is produced in a limited number of colors. Therefore, to express the three-dimensional sense of animals Choosing the right thread color is the most important part of animal embroideryIt's also.

Like the color used for pupils, nose, and cute tongue Appropriate color for each partI'll help you figure out how to choose. Of course, like brown puppies, white puppies, and black puppies My own know-how to choose yarn according to coat colorBe sure to include it and let me know!

Four, divide the compartments and embroider them, and you're done!

If you try to embroider everything that your furry pet sees at once, the work may get distracted and feel more difficult. That's why Proceed by compartments or by chunksIt's a good idea to do it.

After learning how to embroider parts such as eyes, nose, and mouth, you'll go through the steps of using hair and texture to complete the overall face. Delicate detailsLet's make use of and complete a wonderful work!

Curriculum

StitchArtLab

Hallo I'm Jang Hye-ran of Stitch Art Institute, an embroidery artist who paints with thread.

I graduated from the Department of Visual Design and worked as a graphic designer for over 10 years. My job required me to spend a long time with a computer, but as I spent more time with a computer, I found an analog hobby of drawing and making by hand.

As a result, I came across Oriental embroidery and Western embroidery one after another, and I fell in love with the charm of embroidery.

I run the Stitch Art Research Institute and published a book on embroidery techniques called “French embroidery in everyday life to design everyday life” in 2018, and have been conducting one-day classes, regular classes, and external lectures until now.

Also, I used to embroider my favorite animals from time to time and use them as materials in class, but many people love to embroider pets, so I even started a pet embroidery class.

However, for those who have not been able to take classes due to time and distance issues, I am pleased to announce the online class through Class 101.

Like drawing with thread, I'll slowly teach you how to embroider one by one.
