Hi guys! This is the second Art with Ahmed: a rosy apple still-life drawn with oil pastels. It took me around 3 hours to complete and I think I pulled off the texture and colour of the apple reasonably well. Sorry about the quality and lighting of the picture.
I drew this drawing using an apple in real life so if you want try it out just grab the nearest apple and draw! Here are the steps I took while drawing it:
- I drew a very faint outline of the apple with a 2B pencil and drew the outline of the “Still life” words.
- Next, I filled in the “still life” letters with a regular black marker and drew a yellow base layer on the apple with some regular oil pastels.
- After this, I added the red highlights to the apple and coloured in the stalk.
- Following this, I blended the pastels with my fingers and drew the blue background with a haze by blending it a lot.
- Lastly, I added the speckles on the apple with a screwdriver (yes, I know xD) and added some finishing touches.
In conclusion, I think that my drawing was fairly successful although I could have blended it more to achieve better texture. If you have any suggestions on how I could improve this drawing and any future drawings, please comment them below. I hope that my efforts were worth it and that you enjoyed this Art with Ahmed.
