Still life "Apples" with different objects

Drawing is not such a difficult task as it seems at first glance. Even a beginner can draw a still life "Apples".

"Apples in the bowl"

To draw a still life "Apples", you will need nature. You can find a photo or create your own composition. What do we have to do:

1. First mark on a piece of paper where the light comes from. This will help when you start drawing shadows.
2. Draw a horizon line, namely the table on which the bowl stands.
3. Draw an oval that will serve as a cup. For convenience, draw vertical and horizontal lines. Mark the locations of the apples. Do all this by easily tapping the pencil, because sketches often have to be adjusted.
4. Give the bowl a shape, draw the bottom and finish with the shape of apples, add twigs, outline the location of highlights (should be located on the upper convex part of the fruit) and shadow (on the opposite side from the light source).
5. Add a tone to the entire image, except for highlights.
6. Add a shadow that falls from the bowl and is located inside it. Give apples volume.

The drawing is ready!

"Apple and Pear"

To draw a still life "Apple and Pear", you will also need either a photo or nature. How to draw:

1. Draw a line that shows that the objects are on the surface. To begin with, it must be fuzzy, because in part it will have to be erased.
2. Mark where the light source is located.
3. Mark the shape of the fruit, a place for twigs. To create a pear, first draw a circle and an oval intersecting with it. Seamlessly connect the two shapes and erase the excess.
4. Give the fruit a clearer shape. Show that the apples taper down and they have a recess in the place of the branch.
5. Start painting shapes. As planned, one of the apples is burgundy, so it will be different. In the place where the figures are in contact, it is necessary to show the shadow falling from each other.
   
6. To create a shadow, adjust the pressure of the pencil. Show glare, they are located on the convex parts of the fruit, which are directed to the light source. The shadow falls in the direction opposite to the light.
7. Add speckles on apples.
   

"Jug and apple"

In order to get a still life "Jug and an apple next to a vase", you need:

1. As always, first draw a skyline and a light source.
2. Outline the approximate shape of a vase, a bowl of apples, and lastly a jug. Mark the bottom of the containers, although it will not be visible, but this will help when drawing the form. Then the excess lines can be erased.
3. Draw elements of a vase, its neck. Do the same with a jug and an apple.
4. Outline the location of the shadow. It should be curly, because it falls from a jug. The shadow of a vase and a bowl of apple breaks because it falls on the wall. Mark glare spots.
5. Mark the shadow, show the shape of the containers on the table.
   

Drawing in color

Much more interesting is the still-life "Apple", which is decorated. It can be absolutely any materials. But not everyone knows how to draw with paints, so you should start with pencils. Felt-tip pens will not work at all, since there will be no possibility of a smooth transition of colors with them.

To get started, sketch with a simple pencil. The lines should be as pale as possible. Drawing with simple pencils, you can adjust the brightness by pressing force. It’s better not to touch the glare.

Tips for drawing in watercolor:

• To draw a still life of "Apples" in watercolor, you need a palette.
• The lighter the color should be, the more water you need to mix paint with, and vice versa.
• Always start by painting the full surface of the subject with paint that is heavily diluted with water. Then it will be possible to add details of brighter colors.
• Excess and drips can be wiped with a paper towel.
• Apply a new coat only if the old has dried.
• The paint brush should be sharp, otherwise it will be difficult to work with it or the drawing will turn out to be careless.

Now you know how to create and colorize the Apples Still Life!
