Apple Drawing and Painting




We will draw the apple in front of you.  We want the apple to look 3D (like it has form) instead of 2D (a shape).  After drawing the apple, we will paint it.







Cross contour lines
1.  Bite into the apple.  Why?  Because drawing a perfectly round apple is boring!

2.  Draw the outline of the apple.


3.  Sketch the cross contour lines (vertical and horizontal).  

4.  Draw in the shadows.  Follow the direction of the cross contour lines - if your cross contour lines are curved, your shadow lines should be curved too.

5.  Look carefully at where the light reflects off the table and apple.  It may surprise you!

6.  Don’t forget to draw the shadow!

7.  Take 3 pictures of the apple.  If you tap on the screen, the camera will focus on a different part of the frame: Shadow on the table, the darkest part on the apple, the lightest part on the apple.
