Learn how to draw accurately. This is the easy still life drawing video is the third in my series on How to Draw a Still Life Accurately. This time I am concentrating on adding tone; light and shade. I am using two pencils; 2B and a 6B and a 4B piece of graphite. I explain how dark tones make light tones stand out, how to shade in a very subtle way using the side of the pencil. I also show how to create the subtle reflections from a shiny surface on to the bottom of two eggs. I also show how important it is to create edges to define objects rather than using outlines. All this information can be applied to any still life drawing.
This art tutorial is aimed at those wishing to improve their drawing skills.
