My daily art. Still life with fruit. Step by step review.

Hello my dear friends, followers and guests of my blog!

Today I draw a still life.
This is a sketch I made with my favorite colored pencils Polychromos.

Long ago, when I first started blogging here, I was taught: "A real blogger will first take a picture of food and then eat it"
I thought, because it means that "a true artist first draws the food and then eats it"
Since I consider myself a real artist, I decided to explore this rule as far as it fits the realities of life.

And so, armed with paper and pencils, I set to work.
At first I laid out nature for a long time. To lay and beautiful, and drawing was not difficult.
And proceeded to the first lines.

Then I started to type color. First, the main color of objects

And the main shadows to show the volume and space of objects.

Adding a little detail, enhancing the shadows and tracing the form, the picture gradually began to "come to life"

I often compared my drawing with a still life.

I liked to work in details, but I wanted to make a sketch, so part of the work must be incomplete.

And now, the final details and strokes in the shadows for contrast, and the picture is ready!

And now you can play a little with photos.
For example, so bananas mix in nicely))

or like this

I hope you like it!
