DRAWING CHALLENGE #3 - YUMMY BERRIES

in #drawingchallenge7 years ago

It was fun to participate in the DRAWING CHALLENGE #2 with my GOLDEN ROSE, so I decided to make another painting for the new part of this contest. Current theme of the DRAWING CHALLENGE #3 is a fruit.

What I like about my last entry is the black backround I chose so this time I wanted to move a little further forward in it and make much better composition using the black backround.

The actual summertime fruits are the berries. I love blueberries and strawberries the most, but when I watched other entries, there were a lots of drawings of strawberries so I decided to draw just blueberry, raspberry and a couple of red currants.


My painting process.

---Like always I painted in Photoshop.---

1 - SKETCHING

Initially I thought I'd paint these berries onto a wooden spoon, but later I found out how bad I am in painting a wooden texture, so I gave up on it.


2 - COLORING

The next step was to make colored backround for every berry, because then it's easier to paint details.


3 - DETAILS

I always promise myself I'd make this step into more layers, but I forget every time, because I'm alway too immersed in this detailed painting.


Although I realized it too late, I saved one detail into another step and that's the stalk of red currants. Sorry about it, I'll try harder to make more layers next time.


4 - BACKROUND

The black backround is perfect for berries, because red color will stand out more this way.


5 - MIRROR EFFECT

I just copied my painting and flipped it.


6 - SHADING and SIGNATURE

I made the mirror effect, the bottom part of blueberry and the inner part between red currants smoother.


Thank you and see you in my next post!

I'm amazed at what people do with drawings and how they make it look so real. You have my respect and great work!

Thank you a lot David! :)
