CONTEST: SCRIBBLING (LESSON 8 - AN ORANGE).

Great Day Steemians, Art Lovers, and Friends,

I had taken my time to evaluate all the lessons so far, and I could effortlessly say without doubt that people are scared or find drawing parts of the human body quite stressful or maybe even more difficult but now, I've decided to talk us back to the objects and subjects that could easily be broken down into basic shapes such as: circle, sphere, triangle, rectangle and many more.....

Let's have some fun with scribbles!

THE LESSON!

My mission with this very lesson is to bring us all back to the very beginning and to make it easier for us all to understand and to enjoy not just the finished drawing but every single process that leads to the final success of the drawing.

The first thing you should always do is to observe your subject or object and understand the basic shape that is very relevant to it, in this case, some could use circle and some could use sphere, sketch our your shapes like I did, you could see in the picture above that I even sketched out the shapes of the leaves too from the onset, that's how it's done! 😎

You should also sketch a base for your object so it doesn't look like your object is floating, after that you can start shading your Orange, begin with your middle tones, use it to cover ever part of the object except the highlights (the areas where the sunlight or the artificial light is so heavy on).

Now you can shade other external parts of your object, in this case, it's the leaves, I shaded them while I also left the areas with strong highlights without shading at all. Then, you should also shade out the shadow of your object and the base, the would give the drawing more life, more sense of balance and it's going to be very attractive. The bottom of the Orange towards the shadow is where your darkest value would be so you are expected to shade that area with a very dark, I mean your darkest tone. 😎

This is the final stage where you shade your background against your object in order to make the object appear closer and the background farther.

Follow these steps and instructions and you would have a very fascinating drawing of an Orange. 🥰

I hope you have the lessons more effective this way?
