I am Srimathi, a computer science engineer from the state Tamilnadu, India and I must say it's a beautiful place with a rich cultural heritage. Art and painting relaxes me and keeps me going everyday. It is like therapy to my mind, soul and heart.

I started my art journey with Color pencils when I was a child in early 2010 and eventually became a full-time artist in 2019.

I learnt by experimenting and by trying out various mediums such as watercolor, gouache, color pencils, graphite and charcoals on my own.

I have invested a lot into learning more and more about painting because I believe that art is something which can create endless possibilities for you and give you a different perspective towards everything you see forever. I also take online an... See full profile

Transcripts

1. Introduction: Hello, I'm Simadi art educator teaching online. Welcome to my new course on color pencils. Here I have chosen pumpkin and leaves and happy that you have chosen my course. We are going to learn many techniques with much details in each of single session video, starting from basics, sketch, patterns, shapes, then moving into coloring techniques, learning about highlights, shadow, and life theory. I hope you're very excited. I'll be guiding you through step by step with detailed instructions. Even if you're a complete beginner or seasoned artist, you can still join my class. Come on, let's get started. 2. Materials required: Hey, all Hiba again. Now we're going to just have the materials that we are going to use and just taken with the Dom's sketchpad, which is 120 GSM, as you can see on the screen, all the details that is mixed media paper, you can use various mediums. For the color pencils, I'm here using a set of 72 shades, Bus two color pencils. Here you can see with a wide range of different different shades from lightest to the highest range. Over the drawing to make highlights, the white highlights, I'm using the pencil eraser from Cohenu brand, it is HardmPencil eraser and this is a mechanical pencil, so you need to make a basic sketch of our drawing and finally comes the hero that is smart match battery operative eraser. It is very, very good and easy to work. You can have all this with you. 3. Pumpkin pencil sketch - Technique: Welcoming back to the next module on learning how to make the basic sketch. I have grabbed my mechanical pencil to make the basic sketch. As you can see on the screen, how to draw a pumpkin pulp, I'm going to start with Ti shape that is oval from the very center and moving with curves on either side. That will make the perfect pulp effect of a pumpkin. And you are going to make this rough drawing only on a piece of sheet or something, any rough paper. This is a practice area, so practice time. Now, when you get very confident in the basic sketch, you can just jump into a main drawing. That is in the upcoming session, you can just join with me to make a main drawing in a very perfect drawing sheet, and this is completely going to be a rough image. You can just follow along me and you can see like I'm just keep on making with the curves on either sides and the size, shape, everything you can notice and go along. I'm excited for your drawings. You can upload that in the upload area, so I can verify that. A a 4. Pumpkin leaves sketch - Technique: Each and every leaf should start with a vein, as you can see here, I'm just extending with the center part, the vein that's very very important for a leaf. So only add that as a skeleton, you can just extend with any kind of leaf. The design just varies according to the plant structure that is designed by nature. Now we can just move into the pumpkin leaf. To draw a pumpkin leaf, I'm just going to make it upside down. Drawing the vein first from the top to the bottom, as you can see, and Now I have extender to left and from there to some other end, it's because in pumpkin leaf, the vein branches much wider in different different directions and edges of the leaf through the edges of the leaf. The leaves texture, the end, it will be very much sharp, very curvy. We need to create lines and curves with much ups and downs. You can follow me along and just keep on practicing step by step. Yes, you can proceed with the video. 5. Blending colors - Technique : As you can see here, I have just swatched all the 72 colors from the Brusto brand. Colors are more pigmented and so vibrant, very creamy and soft to use. Firstly, we need to practice with variations that is applying different pressure ranges using the color pencil. As you can see in the video, here started with high pressure, then slightly reduced to get a medium pressure. Next is very gently and smoothly to get the very low pressure. After learning with a pressure, we can easily create a tonal chart where you can start from high pressure to lowest pressure, which represents varying pressure ranges. Here is an important technique called burnishing technique, which we are going to use for the complete course. You might have seen with the color pencils the name of the color pencils, as I have shown when starting with the darkest color, I'm just going with several layers. I'm going to build several layers. In this technique, we need to first make with many layers. Importantly in medium and low pressures. Adding in we can just blend with different colors to bring out the exact result required. So firstly, you can see I have just gone with mahogany and next it is with the crimson, all these are applied only with the use of a medium pressure. So the darkest color range will just blend mixed very well with the lightest, the next color. After that, I have just chosen the shades of orange that is vermilion and mango. Then comes with a yellow shade. Whatever the shade you choose to burnish, so you can just move on making with layers and layers. This is I have done with the first layer of all the colors and to just make all the whites of the paper hide, we should not be making here and there whites visible. We should not do that. Instead, I'm just going to hide all the whites by applying just a little pressure increase to pressure of pencil as you can see, and blending all them together, starting from the darkest range to the lightest range. You can see in the video and never forget to give a try. You can give with warm tone of colors and cool tone of colors of your choice. See you in the next video. A 6. Water droplet - Technique: In this video, you will be learning a technique to color water droplet. As you can see here, I have chosen the color name that is canary orange, white, mahogany, yellow ochre, and carrot if you are using a Boto brand and if you're using some different brand, it's not a problem. You can still go with a maroon shade, vermilion, scarlet, orange, then light yellow and white. Also sandal if possible. So you can choose all these colors. Now, we are going to create a background. So you can start from vermilion or orange. That is a burnishing technique, you're starting from the downwards, starting from the vermilion orange, carat, a ocher cannery using this burnishing technique that we saw in the previous session. I hope you all practiced in the previous session. Now, next step is to keep on layering with all the colors we have to make a perfect blend of background. You can just keep on making layers like two or three, if possible, we should not have much white isable. Even this is trying the experimental session. So you can try out in some separate paper and not in the main diagram. Now, next step is to make water droplet structure with the mahogany color. I'm just going to create the water droplet shape all around here and there, with a light and shadow theory, I'm just going to color to the left side of all the droplets as you can see, and the right side when it reaches goes with the blending of all the medium ranges, that is oranges and yellows and finally creating highlight with a white. You can see all this in the video. Now, I'm just using the vermilion in all the droplets, blending it with the previous color, and next will be with yellow. To create water droplets and highlights, I'm just going to make a clear up technique that is we are going to use the battery eraser first and with respect to the curve of the droplet, I'm just creating the curve on right side of the droplet with a battery eraser and to make it more clear and precise, I'm using my white colored pencil and just coloring it on that area. That's it, guys. 7. Basic sketch pumpkin: Welcoming you all to the main drawing session. So here I have just grabbed my main sketchbook. This is from Dom's Brand, and I have just picked up a fresh paper and a mechanical pencil to draw this. Now we have just practiced many techniques to prepare the basic sketch in the previous sessions. And if somebody hasn't seen that, you can just go back, pause the video and just recheck with that, practice that to make it easier. Now, I have just picked up my center portion for making the oval of the pumpkin, the pulp. With that oval, it's not going to be very flat and a lengthy stretch oval. It's going to be kind of bit broad in the center because the pulp should be like little fruit. So this is we need to make sure this is going to be kind of a fruit. So we need to make it very broad in the front. And for either sides of the pulp, I'm just going to make like a C. You can just remember the letter C, and it's going to be a little lengthier. So one on the left side is going to be completely as it is as C, and one on the right is going to be a reverse the inverse of the C. So you're going to repeat with a curves following on either sides. Then after making with five divisions of the pulps, now we are going to make a letter J. We can just think of a letter J. So starting the stems directly connected to the pulps head. So there we are going to make it a little broad and it will not start very lean just directly straight from the pulp. So it's going to be a little broad and start with a letter J. Or you can just consider the upper portion of the. Even that will be easier for making the stem portion. And next is going to be with pulps behind portion, and that will not be completely visible to our eyes when it's going to be a front view of a pumpkin. So I'm just going to make a five behind divisions, and even that is going to be very small in the curves. So successfully, we are done with the basic sketch of the pulp and the stem. And if you are not done and if you feel like the video is fast, so you can just pause, take your own time creating the sketch. So we need the perfect result and not ahns in the drawing. So after making the pulp and stem, we are just going to jump into creating the leaves. So even in the previous techniques for making the leaves of pumpkin, we have a detailed practice of the technique to create a leaf. Same way, I'm just going to start making with the veins in the middle and then going with the partitions and the structure of the leaf. So here, the leaf is going to be with kind of a maple structure. So it goes with very peaks and curves all around. And we're going to create like three leaves on the right side of the pulp, also three on the left side of the part. So leaving a very tiny gap in the middle. So as in the right we made in the right side, we're going to just make the same way on the left, creating first with the veins, so that branches very well and you can just start from the lengthier branch to a very small tiny veins. And after making that, you're going to just start from a place away from the stem, and from there, just moving on to making the structure of the leaf. So that looks very broad. And we need to just consider one thing because the drawing should not be very small. It should be of a little larger size, maybe A five, trying this out in AFI notebook, AI paper is very fine, and that should fit a complete size of the paper, at least, because when we try to make the coloring work, the drawing the biggerness the drawing is the coloring techniques, the application, everything we learn will be very experiencable. So I suggest to make a little bigger sketch of the base pumpkin. And here, now I'm going to after making the leaves, creating with water droplets. So water droplets will be tiny of a pear shape. So don't make so much water droplets all around the pulp. So just making like here and there, uh and all in every pulp is like in the front side of the pulp is recommended. That will be very beautiful to look. And yeah, so we are, like in the last of the sketch. 8. Pumpkin Coloring Part 1: Welcoming you all guys to the next part of the session, the coloring session. So here I have a paper of complete 72 colors swatch cards. So I have created a way before. Now, what I'm going to do is so we need colors corresponding with the pumpkins pulp. So it goes with the primary colors that is like a warmth of the primary ranges. So I have just chosen with the browns a bit of with the browns, oranges, yellows and red. So if you have like 48 shades or like more than 72 shades is also not going to be the problem. You can just swatch with browns and oranges and yellows that you have. So according to the pulp we are going to color, I have chosen with mahogany that I have in my Bruto set. As you can see here clearly, I'm just starting out with a brown shade, and that should not be done with a high pressure because in the very initial state itself, if you go with a very high pressure using color pencil, the blending with other different colors, it may be overlapping with reds, oranges or yellows, whatever it may be, the color blending will not be that perfect. So I hope you remember all the practice lessons from the very previous sessions. So if not so please go back and check that session and you can just proceed with the session. Now I'm doing it. So that will be easier for you to go along with me. Now, first on the corners, that is the edges of the pulp in a single section, edges, you can start with the darkest color and slowly move to the center that is the highlighted portion of the pulp. So there you can just go blending with the lightest color. So on following my steps, so I have just gone with the brown on the edges. And over that, I used a shade of a dark red, that is you can call that scarlet, so you can go with scarlet or vermilion. So shades this will be a very perfect go. So you can just go along with that. And even here you can see I'm just going with a very, very, very light pressure of shade. So slowly, you need to increase to the medium pressure. So that gives the very perfect blend. Also, you can see the whites in the middle of the color. So that is the grains of the paper, the sheet. So when you just go overlapping with other colors. So here you can see the whites among the oranges. Here what I'm going to do is so there will be overlapping of the other colors like it may be like orange or yellows. So when you overlap with that color over the previous, that is the brown or the vermilion. What will happen is you can just have a good blend and the whites will just start hiding away. Another important thing to be noted here is when you color with the pencils over the three D shape to make it look like exact three D shape, what you have to do is you need to just color along the direction. That is a very, very important thing. So when you color along the way, that is here, the front pulp, the major pulp that is seen is going to be like oval shape. So we started from the edges, actually. So when I started with the edges, I just gone over the actual shape of the pulp. So I started shading it curve and when I reach the center, you can see I'm here going with the straight lines. Okay, so you have to go moving on with a different range of colors, also with exact uh the directions of the original shape goes with. So when you go with that way, the color and the three D effect will give you highlight and will improvise your artwork. So this is a very key point. Please give a try. And if it feels very hard, what you can do is just take any rough sheet, give a try with the curves separately. And if you're comfortable with what you have done, then you can just come back to the mine work. Now you can see I have started with a brown, just move on to the vermilion or scarlet. Whatever you have is okay. And then just move on with the orange, the lightest shade that is vermilion will be greater shade, and orange is a lighter shade. And then just started with the sand. So you can just go with the sand locur so all are good to go. Then just switched with a medium low or deep yellow. Then finally, here, I'm just with the rest of the place. I'm switching to my light low, so I can go with lemon low. A lightest shade of the yellow is perfect to go with. And if needed to make a good precise highlight. So the light falling area, you can also give a white shade the white colored pencil shade over it. So if you have, like, a white color pencil, you can just go give it a try or if it's possible to just finish with the yellow color pencil itself. Even that is also fine. You can go with that. Now we are in the last state of making the friend pulp, so you can do along with me, and I hope you enjoyed the process. So we are left with so many things, and I'll be meeting you in the next session with good tips. Thank you. 9. Pumpkin Coloring Part 2: Hello, so I'm back with a new part, the second part. So here we are done with the first major pulp. Now we're going to just proceed with either side of the pulp. So just focusing to the left side of the pulp, here you can just see I'm just starting with the dark chocolate. So the edge, the partition. So in between the partition, there will be some kind of darkness because the light will never fall on that place. So unless we just rotate the pulp, there is the pumpkin and just make it focus to the light. Okay. So here, it is very strip facing as not in a side view. So in this case, what I'm doing is the partition. In between the partition, I have just planned to make it so dark. So I have just started with a dark chocolate. Next, switching on to some kind of hazelnut brown or a walnut brown will be a perfect go. So I've just gone with that. And on the other side, it goes with a shade of dark chocolate, not that much. So as we did in the middle portion of the partition. So it goes with a very, very, very light shade of dark chocolate, and mostly it goes with a walnut brown. And after that, as I said in the previous video, just made with a very light pressured sheding. And next over that, I used a vermilion color, and mostly I just gone with a vermilion. And the highlight, it falls only in the middle portion of that partition. So here I just switch with the orange this orange is kind of a light shade. So you can just fill it with a very pulpy mango orange, maybe like that color. So if you have this color pencil, you can just go with this, and I'm just sharing it along the way. Just the vermilion and brown and making a good blend of the colors. Next is switching with a carrot orange. So if you have a orange lesser to the one that we used previous one, that is the mango BlpyOange. So carat orange will be beautiful. So all the shades are available in rostro Brand. So I'm just very happy that we can just experience a variety shades. So if it is possible, you can just go with that, even with the prismoclre brand and some different car and dutch all that will have varieties of orange. You can just go with whatever you have. And next in the middle for the highlight, I'm just ending up with a yellow mixture. So again, I'm just repeating with the partition. So the middle portion of the partition is going to be with a dark chocolate brown again, you can see that. So even here, you should not just go with a very, very high pressure. So I'm just going with a good medium pressure kind of in the middle thing. Then slowly just switching to the other walnut brown. So here I'm just starting with a medium pressure again to make a good blend of the color. And again, you're going to just switch on to the vermilion, the orange, the lemon ellow and the carrot orange. So all these are going to be like a repeat. But the difference is like the major pulp in the center, it was like a perfect oval. And the next on the left one, the pulp on the left side was, like, a little shrinken and it goes with good curveness. Okay. And next to that that I'm working now is going to be a bit curvy and it's very, very narrow and very small to color. Here, I'm just adding out with scarlet too because the light to this portion will not fall to the most, and it's going to be lesser in the highlight. So mostly the darkness of the portion is only visible. So here, the yellowness will be very low. So to show that to differentiate it from the other pulps, what I'm going to use is I'm using here with a most of the space with scarlet vermilion, and the upper portion is going to be with a light reflected area. So that I'm going to use with a light shade of orange. And if yellow is needed, we can add it. And for white, I'm just adding with the highlights that we can use with the white. So to make a very pointy stretches or the highlights mark with a white pencil. So here is a quick tip. You can just sharpen up your pencil like very tippy point. So with that tip, you can just create with the marks. So that will create a very sharpened highlights. So that's a quick tip. And to the next one to the next partition, I'm just adding with a black bit of black in the middle and next continuing with a dark chocolate, next with a walnut brown. So here you can see just with a medium pressure, I have proceeded giving with a dark brown. In the bottom area and alongside the partitions. And here you can just think of the water, how we are going to make with the water droplets. So I think you have just passed over the previous sessions. So there we have practiced with all the water droplets thing. So you know the techniques you might, if you have just gone through all the sessions that I taught. So if you are not aware of, like, how to create with the droplets, please, I kindly request you to just jump back to the previous sessions, the previous slides, the practice sessions of making the water droplets and you can get back this place. Now here I'm just going to make with a smooth blend to make original pulp shade using the vermilion. Here with a vermilion color, I'm just starting over from the brown with a good pressure because the color is going to be over and we're not going to shade with any different color again over it. Now with the vermilion, I'm just going it over with a medium pressure. And after that, I have switched with the orange any light orange as we did for three pulps were completed. Again, I'm just going with that. Here, as we did for the second pulp on the left, it's going to be second in the sense, next to the major one. So here it's going to be similar to that because the light here will be a 50% reflection of light will be over the pulp you can see. I'm adding a bit of yellowish in the middle for highlight. So the bottom portion on the very top portion of the pulp is going to be darker. So there I used with million shades. So again, starting with a dark brown, I'm just going it with much of length in the last pulp because as you said, the light here reflection will be lesser. Also, it's going to be with the bottom portion of the pumpkin, and it's going to be very lesser. The light will never fall on this. And also, you can see the leaves are covered around the pulp. So some of the light will just fall over the leaf. That is the major reason it's going to be much of shadow part. And here I'm just going to use the burgundy color over the mixture of a dark chocolate and the walnut brown and going on with the scarlet and the vermilion for most of the place. So you can just again, go with a hard pressure over the brown. And when you just stretch to the white space of the paper, you can just go on with a light pressure. That is a medium pressure will be good. And next, you can just go with some carrot color to make a good plan. So here I am just making a good detailed record. And so you can just even if you feel this is very fast, you can just pause the video and just do the practice work, then color, and you can just proceed with the next step. And I'm here mostly covering with a darkest shades and just moving on to the lightest with using a light orange and yellow over it to make it very shining look. That is the light reflection part. And we are like rest with five different pulps on the behind area. So there it's going to be much easier to make the coloring work. So the one next to the front side is that is either on either side, there are like two pulps on that's very next to the major front side. So there will be light is going to be like it's all is visible with a good reflection. So the one, the remaining three on the behind behind is going to be with little darker shade. So even here for the pulps, I'm just going to start with any of the brown shade is okay, but not the dark chocolate variety. So you can just go with some kind of burgundy or a walnut brown is fine. And then you can just go with a vermilion share and then over it with a carrot shade. So here, the curves are very small and very curvy. So you're going to color along the curviness of the pumpkin to make it look very natural and realistic. So the curve should be right side, the d s direction on the right side of the pulp, and you have a shade with left in the left side of the so the direction and the shading area is very much important to make it look like a realistic pumpkin placed in the front. So the last is going to be with a vermilion again, then carrot and with a lemnlolo. So you're like, mostly nearing the end and finishing up with a coloring part. So if you have, like, any questions, you can just drop in the comment, and you can also post your project work if you're done practicing the work. You can just post your project work in the section. So project area assignment section. So I'll be just sharing the reviews of your work. So I'm very happy and eager that I'll be seeing all the works. Now I'm just taking my a pencil eraser. So this is from Chinu brand. So with that eraser, I have sharpened it very well, and I'm just making with a highlight so you can just make with the curves. And here and there for water droplets, I'm just making use of them. Battery eraser. So for battery eraser, you need to sharp it very well using some sandpaper, if possible. So that along with the curviness. So the middle part goes straight and the other ends, it goes very curvy. So even for the water tiny droplets, I'm just going to go with making the highlights using the battery eraser, and only the battery eraser can give you much pressure to create the highlights and remove all the excess color pencil shades. So pencil eraser, comparing it will not give that much highlight and it will be a little hard to give pressure comparing the mechanical one. So I suggest to have a mechanical brand. Here, the mart mat, it works very well, and so very excited to use the eraser always. Also I'm just eagerly waiting to our works, and yep, we are left with the leaves in the stem. I'll be meeting you in the next session. So by for now, 10. Leaves coloring: Now it's time like we have to just make the color swatch for coloring both leaves and the stems. So get ready with all your greens, yellows and browns to make the both stem and leave. Here I'm just watching out with the lightest shade of the greens to the browns. So it goes with light green, olive green, jade green, medium green, deep, viridian. So I have so much green in my 72 color set. So if you go with minimal or like above 150, nearly 150 shades, it's very okay that you can pick as many greens you have. And now the important task is like, you don't want to have so many in your hands. So after swatching, we need to have a task of picking up the exact ones that is recommended for our picture. So we can just take that out. So it may be like around like five or four with the greens and a few with browns and the yellows. So that goes okay. So I also just want to add a thing. Like, we need to just keep on moving the color work from the darkest range to the lightest range to bring out the originality and a good blend. So here, I'm just working over the stem, as you can see. Now, as I mentioned in the previous session for the pulps, so there I just suggested two color along the pulp direction, the shape of the pulp. Here, the stem, it's like kind of a very curvy thing. So it goes little broad and much curvy on the top. So the light portion, the light, the reflection will fall exactly over the bottom. That is the place where connected to the pulp. So light falls there very well comparing to the top est portion. So the top portion goes with less light. So also, it'll be a little of like a diking stage. So there we can just make with a shades of brown because it's been plucked from the plant, and it will look kind of a brownish shade. So we need to give the realisticness. So I'm just adding with the black greens, the darkest greens as a base of the sketch. And in the top of the stem, I'm just going with the shades of sandal and brown mixture also with the green mixture. So we need to move on with the colors and blend them together. And for the details and sharp tones on the top, I'm just adding with the darkest green or you can just go with the forest green or deep green that will work so good. For making the details and the black, also. So for highlight I used with a white colored pencil. Now, the stem is a small portion, and that's easy. Now, just moving on coloring to the leaf portion. I'm just going with the same set of color palette as we did for the stem. And here, the leaves are going to be very soft. Comparing the stem stem looks a little harder. So we need to just show out the softness of the leaf in coloring work. So mostly I have chosen for the behind one, so I'm just coloring with the behind one. And for here, I have just chosen with olive green or sap green, if you have, that's okay. So with the base layer as olive green, I'm just coloring slowly. And this shape of the leaf here is like kind of a maple effect, but not actual maple, so it goes with that shape. And we need to just maintain the sharpness and color it thoroughly, making like with the ranges from varying from the darkest range to the lightest with the same color itself. So if you have just passed with the previous sessions, lights practice works perfectly, you'd have known about the ranges perfectly as sides it. And if you don't know it's not a worry, you can just go back, check my previous sessions and give back to this video to make yourself easy. And, uh, over this, I have just applied a bit of sand. The sandal color or yellow ochre will be perfect to make a perfect blend of dried leaf. And this leaf particular leaf has with a lesser amount of light reflections because it's a little behind to the pulp, and for veins, it's important that we need to make it look a little highlighted. And for that highlights and sharpness, I'm just chosen with the darkest range of the green. So here we can just choose a radiant, that will be a good go. And if you are interested to try out with some different shade of the darkest green, it's like a free, your choice, you can just go with any of the greens and give a try for that. And next, following with a second leaf here I'm just starting with a medium shade of the green, that is the forest green first, then the medium green. And I'm just going to make this leaf little darker variety when comparing the previous one. So I've just made up base layer with a deep green and now coloring with the olive green and making a good blend of the leaf. So you can just go along with your colors. And if you feel like you want to create something with, again, a a baby leaf like that or some aged leaf dried leaf, also, you can just create with the palates like that. So that dried leaves kind of will go mostly with yellow sandal or yellow occur shade mixture. So there will be some kind of browns. There will be no greens in that. Also you can now add oranges if needed. So that's a creative. You can even try like that. Now, moving on to the larger one in the very front, I'm so happy working with the larger one. So first, you can just go making with the borders of the leaf, the sharp edges of the leaf, and slowly, you can just move into the inner side of the leaf. So sharpening your pencil often helps you just move on working very easily with the flow because if your pencil is much blent, what will happen is the pressure will also sometimes increases and your hand, you will not feel that excited to make a made the coloring work. So, personally, I feel that. So what I usually do is I keep on shopping my pencil and always I start making with the edges. So edges will beautify a lot. And then we can just go with good pressure. And when you just go inside, you can a bit reduce the pressure and turn to a medium pressure. Then start working on it. Now here, you can see I've just completed with my coloring using the olive green completely. Here I'm just going to make with a jade green with a good pressure that is lesser than a good pressure to make a good blend. So blending here is very much important. Again, it's going to be a proper, not a dried leaf. So we need to keep on maintaining with the lightest of the greens. That is very important. We are not creating here with a dried leaf, so the green palettes are very much important here. And as this particular leaf is in front of the pumpkin, it's going to be more phased towards the light. So the light will fall much on this and reflects the colors much outside. So obviously, the color of the leaf will be mostly green that is of a light test green. And here you can see, I have just tried out with making the veins using the mechanical eraser, that is the battery eraser from one bad brand. And over that whites of the veins, I'm just adding with the lightest of the green over. So this is another try you can just experience. So in the previous leaf, the very first leaf, we made the veins with a dark color viridian green. So that is going to be some kind of a different way that different experience. Now what we tried is like we just made with a battery eraser, created the veins, and it is going to be a light shade. Okay, because it's just a matured premature leaf kind of. So it's going to be like that. And there are following three leaves to the right side. And with that experience with the previous three leaves, here it's your choice and open, you can just go with whatever color swatch you needed. You can upload the work completed in the project area, so meet you with the last step in the next session. Bye bye. 11. Coloring water droplet: Successfully, we are done with both the stem leaves, pulps, everything. Now here is the very important part, and we are going to do that very easily, too. So we need to have a battery eraser and the pencil eraser and more of that with three colors to make the water droplets here. Now with a fully sharpened battery eraser, so I usually sharp with a sandpaper, with the help of a sandpaper to make it very sharp. And with that, I'm just clearing out the colors that we made over the pull exactly on the water droplet areas. So you can see in the picture I'm just clearing out step by step with the exact shape of the water droplet. So it goes with a pear shape, right? So we need to just clear it out. And after that, we need to just have three colors. That's like you can take your mahogany. Like, it's kind of a shade of a maroon. And yellow ochre and then orange. So these are the colors and yellow if needed and white pencil erasure. Now, firstly, with the darkest color, the mahogany, I'm just giving with the outer covering alone of the water droplet because this water droplet gives more shine, the more reflection of light, it gives the reflection outside. So to create that effect, we need to just give a darkest shade of the color all around the water droplet. So you don't want to cover it completely with that. So you can just go with a huge hue shape alone. Just around the water droplet. That works very well. Now, after creating that, I'm just picking up my orange and shading it with the bottom layer of the water droplet, like you can see in the picture, and we need to blend that with the previous color that's Mahogany. And over here, I'm just going to make a little change effect with a white pencil for highlight. So you can take a white colored pencil and just go over that and blend. So it will look really like a water droplet falling over the pi. Try this out and we are just left out only with a shadow portion. I'll be meeting you there. 12. Coloring Shadows: Hooray, so we are in the very last part of this project, and this is going to be the shadow creation project. It adds the very beauty to the picture. It adds life. It brings out life to the picture. Now, shadow creation is very important, and color picking up for the shadow is much, much important. So you can see for any object, there will be shadow if there is light. So for shadow, you're going to just as you have noticed, like in real time. So shadow will be near the object will have darkest. The further away will be like having the lightest grade of shadow the darkness. Now to bring out that effect, I'm just picking up my mahogany walnut brown, caramel, also hazel nut brown, all the browns. So you can just pick up your darkest to the lightest range of browns. So darkest range of the brown will play exactly near the base of the pumpkin, as you can see, I'm just giving up the coloring work. So starting from the mahogany, I'm just moving on to my hazel nut brown, just blending it with medium pressure, then overlapping with caramel and the walnut brown to make it more perfect. And the burnishing technique here is very much important for blending the colors. Next, when I move up a little away from the pumpkin, I'm just going to use with colors of lightest brown, and you can slightly switch in between the leaves. Also, it goes with the darkest range, so you can go with a slight darkest brown color. And when you move further away, you can just take your sandal or yellow ochre. That will work really good, and you need to just blend all everything. Now here I'm just going to move on with the blunt pencil that works well here for the shadow portion. And if this is the last part, hope like you are just enjoying creating the shadow portion. So just complete this and you are going to just submit all your projects, and I'll be reviewing each and of your works. So very happy to see all your works. Thank you. 13. Thanks for Watching: I'm very happy and glad that you all enjoyed this session of coloring modules of this pumpkin and leaves drawing. You might have had a clear perspective on using the color pencils at the right range, just picking up the color pencils, then sting, swatching, you might have learned so many things. And if you find this video was very useful, just give me a thumbs and just follow and give your support. Thanks for watching.
