Skills Learned:
- Observation: Fundamental in drawing, observing the form and lighting of your subject is crucial
- Sketching: The initial step in the drawing process involves using the 6B Pencil to explore and establish the basic shapes of your subject, which, in this case, is an apple
- Line Art Creation: After sketching, we proceed to refine our drawing with crisp lines using the Monoline Brush, a step that’s especially useful for stylized illustrations
- Color Blocking: The tutorial highlights the importance of laying down base colors for different parts of the drawing without worrying about details, using layers beneath the line art for organization
- Lighting and Shading: Introducing soft global light and form shadows enriches the drawing, providing depth and dimension
