Hi! I'm Elisabetta, an Italian watercolor artist based in Turin, where I live with my husband, my dog and two cats.

I started painting later in life, after a long career in Marketing and Advertising.

When my son left for college, he gave me a watercolor set for my birthday. I started sketching and I never stopped. 

I love sketching the world around me: corners of my beautiful city, street scenes, everyday objects around my house, and the food I cook. Sketching is really a self-care routine for me!




I am mainly a watercolor artist, but I also love gouache, oil pastels and colored pencils.

I firmly believe that in art talent is overrated and that anyone can learn!

Practice is key: so let's start sketching toge... See full profile

Transcripts

1. About this Class: Hi, I'm Elizabeth, then Italian watercolor artist. I have a passion for food illustration. That's my main source of inspiration. That's why today in this class we are learning together how to sketch it. Fun. Sushi. While Sushi, because sushi is not only for the palate, is also feast for the eyes. Most Japanese food that is not only good, but also beautiful. Sushi is so much fun to sketch movies in a very friendly way, suitable for the Guinness. First the sketching pencil, and then when we apply with and then we will apply watercolor. That's my usual way to illustrate food. It's fun, it's easy, and it will give you a very beautiful result. I hope you will join me in this class and let's have fun together and stenting sushi. 2. Supplies for your Project: Great. Now we talk about the supplies you will need for the sushi project. Though. I, as usual, I have limited myself to very basic budget friendly supplies. Very easy to have at home. Stuff from paper. It's important to have a watercolor paper. This paper is cellulose. You don't really need cotton paper for this project. I always catch on plain cellulose. I keep a cotton for projects when I use a lot of wet and wet and it's not a case of common food illustration is more for landscape or flowers. The important thing is that the paper is for watercolor, and it must be ideally 300 GSM. Paper is teaser, but you can have any brand. Of course, the important thing, it is safe, it says for watercolor. Then we need colors to. I have a passion for color, so I have many unique colors. I collect different watercolors, but for my classes, I will limit myself to the most common colors that you can find in any basic watercolor set. Here, I am using my Paul Rubens set. These were originally tubes that I have squeezed the inner sector. I show you this was the original set, and I suggested the two squeezed them. As I have done in this a pans. You can buy the empty pans so that it's much more convenient to use. It's very easy. These are smaller watercolor teens that you can buy easily online. Have a lot of mixing space. So you have everything you need in a small portable box and you can always take it with you. So this is how you can buy ready-made set like this small Cotman set, its very basic. It's the first one I had in my life. So as you see, it's almost finished that we're using very basic colors. We are using purple, orange, yellow, using some purple, using some gray, we using some burnt sienna with tambour. So all the basic colors, Alizarin crimson. So if you don't have the exact color that I suggest, you can replace it with a similar color. It's not very important to have the exact color in watercolor. It's much more important the values. If you follow my advice about shadows and light and values, you can really replace any color with a similar color. You shouldn't have orange, for instance, you just mix some yellow with some Alizarin crimson or some vermilion and you will have a perfect orange to use for your salmon, sushi. Then you will need, of course, the third most important thing. You will need some brushes. I'm using round synthetic brushes. And the important thing is to have different sizes according to the size of the paper. You have. I have sketched on it A5 papers, so I have the larger medium and detail brushes. The very important thing is that they have a sharp tip, so you can do details. So with the tip of your brush, you just hold it vertically and you can make all the details that you want. They must be watercolor brushes because they hold a lot of water compared to other types of brushes. So it's important to have watercolor brushes. Of course, then we will need a pencil for sketching. Pencil, ideally a to B pencil. I don't keep my pencil too sharp because it's easier to erase the little bland, the software eraser. And a fountain pen or a fine liner. This is a CPR fine liner by Faber Castile. You can also use these fantastic for sketching uni-ball Eye Micro. The important thing is that the ink must absolutely be waterproof. Please do test it before. You must be 100% sure that it is waterproof. These are waterproof. So Pitt Artist Pen fineliner is waterproof. This uni-ball eye is waterproof. And in this fountain pen, I have put a waterproof ink. You must be completely sure that it is waterproof. If you're not sure, stay away from fountain pen. You use a waterproof, fine liner. You can also use this very good brand of fine liner. Microns, Saqqara, this is completely waterproof. Then you will need some mixes space. You can use the mixing space on your watercolor set. Or you can have a lovely dedicated palette like this one that I recently bought. Then you will need a white gel pen for final details. Then you need some washi tape or some artist's tape either will do a ruler. For the pencil phase, I don't use a ruler with a pen, but with a pencil. They do jar. Jazz for water, one for clean water in the other one for printing your dirty brush. So you always have one with clean water. The other one, we've got two water and some kitchen paper, very handy. You need these to fix mistakes, blot your brush, absorb excess water. Fantastic to have some. And that's it for your supplies. Easy. Ease. Go to the fun part. 3. Paper Preparation & Pencil Sketch: The first thing I do, I would stick some washi tape around the corners, around the edges of my paper so we have the crispy, nice finish. Washi tape is less sticky then Artist's tape. And so if you use artist's tape and you have cellulose paper, just make sure that you don't tear off the paper. You can. I show you how to stick it on your table or on your genes? So sometimes there will be less glue and it will be less sticky. Okay? Otherwise it might tear off your paper if you're using plain cellulose, is undoing. Cotton is much less dangerous. I have put some washi tape and I'm starting the sketch. And for the pencil face, I will use a ruler. I want to be using a ruler for the ink outline. So there will be more organic, but I will, for this face, I'm sure that they are straight. So now we simplify this nice reference schema and we started with the bottom edge. And then it goes out of the drawing. And then we try to be perpendicular. So this angle, same angle, try to be consistent like this. Very nice because we will have to erase many of these lines. I like to have a pencil not too sharp, so it's softer. That's my feeling. And we start with what is towards us. And then we draw further away. So she pieces. And we start with the I keep on my iPad. Here. On the right-hand side. I draw exactly what I see. I started with this cell. Here. I see there is a shape. I like this. I think it's omelette, this one or maybe hearing. There is this stripe of sushi with we just some pencil line. I'm not drawing in this pencil phase, the rise or I'm not getting crazy. Just some indication, then I will refine it a lot with my ink. Here. I have some Salomon, my rice and wheat. Then I have some shrimps and I have a corner. Rice. And the, I can simplify and just change what I don't like. Here. I have put some Salomon. I'm changing the order because I draw what I think is nicer. To see that we have this moon will rise. And then we have this herring. Herring is maybe more like this, more leaning towards the bottom. Then I will put some omelette here. Nice. And then I will put some roles. So remember that they're not perfect all of us because they have the weed around the rice. Then we will sketch rice rolls hidden here. Okay? And then I wait for the end of this dish. With the handle. Here, I want to draw some soy sauce. So we'll make an ellipsis. To make a perfect ellipse. I draw across. I can even measure that they are of the same length. Let's say this is the center, 2 cm. The center. I make the four corners and then I draw the ellipse. The ellipse, be careful, not a sharp angle here, not like this, but it must be very round in the continents. Have an edge here. And small ball below. A base. Can be very loose, very sketchy. This phase, we will refine it with a pen, with ink. Okay, I think that we finished for the pencil. 4. Ink Outline: Now I will refine my drawing with some ink. You can use a pen or you can use the fountain pen. The only important thing is that you must be 100% sure that you have waterproof ink. Otherwise, it will smudge during the drawing when you apply your water color. I'm using my phantom type because I like it so much. I'm using a waterproof ink in brown. Sketching with Browning. You can also use, of course, is sepia, fine liner. It's also very nice choice. But I'm using my fountain pen. I start from the top left in Diigo down right, because I'm right handed and I don't want to smudge my drawing. If you are left-handed, you start from here and you go this way so you don't smudge with your hand, your fresh. Okay, so I start with this line. Don't be afraid to be sketchy. And this line can be broken in certain point, in certain areas. In these edge towards you, can be just dotted. Here. You go down. Remember that the center is here, is the lowest point. Then you'll base like this. Then we want to draw some soy sauce. Here. You go around the room and you come back. Okay, Sure. Then we can draw these nice Hendel. Don't be afraid to be loosened, sketchy. This is going to be a no vote more than around like this. Then the corners don't make them too sharp like this. And just break your lines. Okay, so this is done. Now we can start drawing sushi. Once again, we start from sushi, that is the roles that are on top left-hand. We go down bottom, right. So remember to be very organic. Rice. So basically, because it's some seaweed around sunrise is going to be very, very irregular. And here, some perspective, Same here. And we would put stripe of fish, same here. Stripe of salmonella indenting somewhere. I liked that scene dented, hearing their little square stripe. It can be all different. Then we can draw this one. And this is omelette. This is going to be like this. Now. Always here, just a dotted line where there is a plie. Here we have the seaweed beating irregular. These two goes slightly upward. Irregular, downward. Here, dotted, ply. The rise, we will come back later. Salmon, someone goes downwards. Goes upwards. You see I can refine with my ink pen and downwards again. Here we will have the rice, no seaweed on Salomon. Here we have these herring sharp angle here. And certain thickness here. Going up, down. It's fish soft plastics. So certain irregularity is not totally acceptable, is desirable. Here we have our shrimp. Always a bit sketchy. Not too straight lines just vary the direction here we have a line. I'm watching my reference image like this. Here we have apply. So I have a dotted line. Here. I have not, I'm not sure what fishes this one don't think is Solomon sort of stripe. Downward. And seaweed curve here, sharper angles and here we have the rice. Now we can finish our border. You make this angle seeker because it's towards the table. And I think I will take away these perspective. This is going to be dumped to it because it's wet. It curves the border here like this. Now the rise. For the rise, I will just fill these lines with pencil with some just few grains here and there. And because of light, we will have some lights coming from a corner. And I always decide that light is here from top-right. Very consistent is much easier. Of course I will have, I will have shadow on the opposite side. We'll put my cursor towards that direction. And I will fill it maybe in different directions and it's more organic. You can put some whole grain rice, Same here, different directions. But remembering the charter will be the sides. So you put the majority of my screen with the shadow towards the bottom left and then you fill it with the smaller rice in a different position. Same here. Remember that the direction can be different. Fill it with smaller rise. Remember to be sketching the organic Same here. Doesn't have to be completely full, just some grains. Summarize screen here in there. Okay? And here there is also the end of this board and there is some thickness that shows here. Okay, I forgot. Summarize here. Have to be perfect sketches. You know, I'm not sought to be perfect, just That's why it's called a sketch. If I wanted a perfect you're hyper realistic drawing, I would take a picture with my iPhone. I don't just because they wanted these to be obviously a sketch bit messy, just have fun with it. And we ready with the ink, just let it rest for 5 min or so. So you're sure that when you erase you want smudge. You can also use a hairdryer for them. 5. The Soy Sauce: Just make sure that your ink is completely dry and you can start erasing pencil sketch. In this phase, you can see if you have forgotten some ink and you can finish applying your ink. And yes, always, I always forget something here. And just to be careful not to paint directly on fresh ink, otherwise, you smartly. And the magic moment has arrived. Queens start applying our colors. Once again, I will start from top-left and go down to bottom right. I take and I water my watercolor. I'm spraying my watercolor because it's chiefs of fresh paint that I had squeezed these. Tina, I like to activate my colors before I start coloring. I'm only using colors that are usually included in a basic watercolor set. So I'm not using any fancy color that I might be using in my everyday sketches. I keep my kitchen paper handy and they start applying some color. So first of all, I will color the soy sauce. For the soy sauce, I will take some black and some brown because it's warmer. It's a warm black. You can also take some burnt sienna to warm it up. You can always darken it later. But don't use just straight black because it's not straight black. It's a warm black with the I'm putting some burnt umber and some burnt sienna. So I have these warmer black. If you have second, you can use SIP. Yeah. I have reached a warm darker and I'm trying to reserve some white, which means I'm trying to leave a white stripe. They see in the reference image, be careful here. Just be careful not to paint the edge of the bowl. But if you don't leave the white stripe is not really a problem. Because we can apply later with a white gel pen how it applies some pure brown fur color variation. And here I have left my white stripe. Here we are. And we leave this to dry. And we go on to my roles son. 6. Fish First Layer: Now we color the center of the roles and then we'll come back later for chandeliers of rice and for darker colors. But I'm starting applying the lighter colors of the fish inside the roles. And on top of the new gt sushi, we have some, some yellow to dark and we add some lemon yellow. Any yellow? Stress out if you don't have exactly the same color, roses me. So I'm having some yellow here. And then start mixing my salmon color. I have these orange is very bright orange. If you water it down, it looks very much like a salmon color, but any orange we do, you can take a warmer red and mix a touch of yellow. But any orange diluted. When I start diluting this, that will apply. I can always go darker later here and maybe here. Then I would put some rosy, some Alizarin crimson and Tuna. I don't have tuna in my reference image, but because I liked ra2 have very much, I'm doing it. I'm drawing, I'm drawing my slice of Salomon here. It's the one that it's actually below the roles in the reference image. But I'm putting this here. So I take my diluted orange, I will start applying some yellow, maybe here in the center where I have light hitting. And then I go with my diluted orange. This is just the first wash, especially to be very, very light here and go darker later. Okay? This is the effect. We leave it. We leave this like this. Now, this is going to be the omelet. I take some lemon yellow. We applied. You can, if you like, just not touch the upper border. Makes it more interesting. The upper end. Here we can apply some darker yellow because see this in shadow like this. And don't touch it here. Then we go to the, I think this is Herring. I'm not sure it's this brown stripe, but it has a yellow undertone. So we'll take some yellow ocher, put it here, and just paint this undercoat, yellow ocher. Then we go back and make it more precise. Just an undercoat. Here I have more salmon, looks like almost a smoked salmon. Take again my urine. I start from bottom upwards. I don't touch. You have to start with my first wash. And I have some shadow here so I can start seeing how it works as some burnt sienna. Very slightly some dots here away from light. Just like this. Then this is going to be my shrimp. But for shrimp, I will take once again the same orange that I have used for Salomon and apply heat here. And start drawing with my russia. The waves that I see on the body simplify. This. We looked supplies this yellow, orange. Or maybe I can slightly darken with a warmer red. These, and I can go here. And also I will just touch in the center. It's dark it. And I will also mixed a different orange, more orangey, just to differentiate from Sun, Moon and touch it here and there. I have mixed it with red and yellow just to make it different from Salomon. Otherwise, it's too much the setting. Let's try this first wash. 7. Nori Seaweed: Now, if the first washes dry, we can paint the seaweed, the naughty seaweed that is around the rice. So I will take a color very similar to the soy sauce, But it is colder, so I will add a touch of green like this. Use viridian or shallow green, a very cold green touch of green. So it will be different from the sides saucer. And tastes this cold. I see like town. I take my brush. I can even take a smaller brush for the seaweed because they need to reserve the right to be slightly more precise. And that will take these rash that have a very sharp tip. So not too much water because they need to be precise. And I start with the omelette. And here I will try to leave some whites. So I will paint here. Strokes I go towards yet. I leave some white. And I go down. I will put some dots here. Because CCS, what I see, Same here. Same color. Start from here. I can give strokes towards the center of the seaweed. Goes like this. Then I rinse my brush with just water, will take down some of these strokes. Same here. I will add some white gel pen here. Now. Same here. You see the green underpainting, so beautiful. Here. This direction. Then with just water, you pull some thoughts. I hope I have mixed enough paint for the roles. So I start from these left corner. And although I don't see in the reference image, I will imagine here some white reflections. So just water. Okay. To mix some more. Doesn't really matter if it is not identical. I will not send you the watercolor police to arrest you if you haven't mixed just an identical column is going to be all dark. Then we skip these because it's too fresh. The color. We start here again. And then just water. And I pulled the color. Now this missing one, same technique. Then we can go dark and with the second layer, just want to pull it. 8. Wooden Board: Now, the seaweed should be dry and we can start painting the board. I take a middle sized brush once again. We'll mix some yellow ocher with some burnt sienna. I can also not completely mix them, so we have a color variation that can also add some pure yellow here, so it can give some touches of color yellow towards the light. So I wouldn't start darker. Burnt sienna here. Try not to be too wet so you have more control on your color. Don't work it too much and just try to use as little strokes as possible. Keep a mixing the colors so you have some color variation. You don't have to mix it all together. Here I have a hard edge that I don't like because it's cellulose. So again, I keep filling the space. It's like coloring for children, the coloring book for children. I remember I loved them when I was little. My mom would by them to me. I was wonderful. The word before internet, simple pleasures. But if we had no Internet, we wouldn't be here, right? So Internet has its advantages. Just keep painting, keep varying the color. Add some yellow where you have a heart digests. Just put also some pure water or more color to soften these edges. Here we have a lighter colored towards light. So more water, more yellow, especially more water. Just keep filling the spaces. Here we will have a hard edge but really big deal. How digests can be fun. In whatever colon here, you can just go towards the edge without touching it. Fill this hole because it will be darker. Same here. Also, we can put a darker edge here, and I will put just burnt sienna without I turn my sketchbook so it's easier for me. Yes. It's easy for me if I turn it. When you are in a difficult position just to your sketch book, you didn't have to fill it completely. You can leave some white here. It's pretty actually. Then you also take some pure burnt sienna and you some dark here. And inside here. You have the Shandong. That's done. You have done the board. 9. Background: Now we can do, before we fix definitely our sushi, we can put the nice tablecloths. So we should choose a color that contrast that with the overall colors that we're using for distortion doesn't have to be overpowering. So maybe a very light green would be ideal. I take a bigger brush like this one. And I will choose a green, usually green straight from the palette. Bride. This is immunity drawing. So use some muted down so we can mute it down with a touch of alizarin crimson, for instance, or a touch of burnt sienna. Okay, you see this is diluted a lot. This is muted and we also dilute it very much. And I will turn my sketchbook once again. I will feel that table cloth like this. While it's wet. We can also put some touches here and there. A pure color like this. That Chase or maybe some burnt sienna. Why not? Only if it is wet, I continue with my muted green. Careful here. Just some care, some difficult in even if you are wrong here. There's nothing wrong with it. It's part of the journey towards the light that I will not add touches or thoughts of green, but I will let touches of yellow because we are towards the light. More water. And we let to let this dry. You can also add, I don't know. Yeah. Start adding some shadow here. Remember that? Like this from here. So you can start adding some shadow here. In purple. I have taken some purple and I have dotted along the room. Just dropping some shadow when it's wet. Okay. We let this layer dry and we'll come back. 10. Add Details to Fish: Now we can start adding definition to our eyes and our sushi. I take these finer brush. You see this one is better for details. Stuff too small, just has a very fine tip. And let's start from nori. You have light from top right. So we got some darker value. I will add a darker value here. On this side, here, behind the others here. And here. Just slightly blended. So there we have any regular so that we have an irregular texture. You don't have no one to straight line here. So just with clean water, just slightly blend it. Even slightly harder edges, nice. Here we will have to draw some stripes. So some stripes we take our orange and we will apply in cold, darker here, and lighter towards light, leaving some white space or some lighter space between them. Ahead, some burnt sienna in the first two layers mix with them. Now. More pure orange. You see I just painted these stripes, leaving lighter value between them. It's good if they are slightly different one from the other here, just slightly more water like this. And then we will have some darker here, but we need to wait for these is completely dry. Now, when we add the sum definition to the shrimp, I would make some warm red and some yellow. I have my different orange. I'm taking a finer brush with the tip of my brush kept vertically. I draw some lines like this. Go down. Go down. Here is like a scallop like this, then go down like this and goes on. Here. We have like a stripe here also. Some dots. And here just go slightly darker. Because he's in shadow. Also on this side, darker and darker here because you have shadow here. And here we are. I think we'd done with this stylized. I think that the omelet, you can slightly reinforced the shadow here with the darker yellow, or you put a touch of salmonella or yellow. And you can accentuate here. It's nice like this. Even here in the roles, you can slightly accentuate colors because they, when they dry, dried much lighter. This is my hearing, I think is a herring and it has some brown in it. So we'll mix some burnt sienna with a larger crash. Here. There is some purple, but it's perfect. Then I will drag my brush against the kitchen towel and dry brush, just some strokes like this. So it gives the idea of any irregular texture. Then I take my fine brush, I take some pure burnt sienna, and I paint the shadow here. Same with this stripe of, I don't know, maybe it's smoke, Salomon. I dot some burnt sienna along the stream. Starts like this. And then with water, I slowly go towards the center. Then I take some of my son. My urine, dilute it here, but I have shallow will mix the two and that will leave lighter value here towards the edge. I would do the same here now along this ray and take some burnt sienna and some soma. And then we just three lightly draw shadow on this side. And I think you need to track and also the naughty here. On this side of the Geary, I take one more layer, and here I'll give a second layer on this side. And we let these dry and then we add shadows. 11. Add Shadows: So now I have to add shadow to these night. It's white, so we leave it white. I will just add some shadows where you don't see the light. Because light is coming from here. You will have shadow on this side and on this side of the cup and below. To meet your gray, all you have to do, You take some blue, I will take some ultramarine blue and some of your burnt sienna until you get a nice gray. Just keep adding blue and burnt sienna until you find the the gray that you're looking for. I prefer to add more blue than center because it's getting colder. What I like to do, I also add a touch of purple. You see purple. Show you the purple. This purple. You are probably find it in any basic set. And I add some purple to this gray. So I have this beautiful shadow color. And I will add some here and immediately blend it. You start from the right end, Hugo. And blend it. You just pull it with just water towards left so that you have a graduation like this. I will do the opposite here. You start from the left to the sun and you go towards the light, this little base completely. Then also what you can do is you take some black and you rainfalls shadow of your soy sauce on the side like this. And we'll let this dry. And you can also slightly diluted with your brush. Now you need to apply shadow. So you keep recreating your shadow color blue, burnt sienna. Touch of purple. More blue. Here I have a nice dark and I can add shadow around my bowl of soy sauce. Here. Dies inside mixer half circle here. And then you can leave it like this, but it gives you the other very sunny day or you can also slightly blended, which is nice and maybe, okay. Same here. We will have some shadow color here. And then you take some water and you pull it. With cotton is easier with cellulose, you might find some heart damage. It's not too important. Then. Also I think that they want to make this edge rounded. So it takes some burnt sienna and they make this edge. And then I will fix it with my ink. So I need to add some shadow here. You can also add some shadow color. Here. Now, we can add some shadow to rise and behind our kidneys to shin rolls. South for rice, I will just put some shadows here and there. Just an irregular texture because we have rice grain. Same here, especially below the fish. The fish. And here and there. Below the fish, below the fish, and on the left of the notary. Seaweed. Here and there, just to hint, to accentuate light, we can take some yellow and slightly add some touches of yellow towards the light. And the basically here, because our brain decodes yellow light. Here, we don't have any lights, so we don't need to do so. But we can handle it here. And here. Just to touch. Then you blend, it doesn't have to be really visible. That will work. Now, what will really make your sushi is shadow. Underneath your roles or sushi Nikki. Here you have Shanda. Shanda. Okay. Same here. Of course is on and on the left side. Here. You can also add a line shadow here. Make it a curve ball. Seems to be very dark now, but it will dry, lighter worry. You can hear my dog snoring once in a while to worry. Really makes it pop. The formula. Here we have it. And also I think that we need to add some shadow. This side, very thin. This side of the border. You can turn it and just blend it a little stronger Chandon just here. Because the shadows really make your drawing pop. Heroes. On this side. Second layer of shadow on the, just on the corner below the regime. And here. Okay, Now we let these dry and we add the final touches. If we need to. 12. Final Touches: I think vector this pairing, it's not different enough from the wooden board. So what I will do, I will add more yellow. Cadmium yellow is quite opaque, but most yellows are quite opaque. So you can just add touches of color here and there so that you make, make a texture and it pops against the wooden board. Then what I can do is I take my pen and I will add some wooden texture here and there. Very likely just some hints. Some broken lines like these show called and around some broken lines. Because it has a texture. Just want to give a hint or this texture, an oval. And then around, we have some broken lines. Here and there in here the broken lines go down vertically because of purpose. Perspective can put more because it's been challenging here we have these corner that I told you I was perfecting my pen. Okay, So this normal, then what we can do, we can add a second line, two lines that are in shadow. I'll give you an instance. For instance, this is in shadow. This awesome. So these lines will be more in shadow. We lacked a darker line here. Here. Yeah. Just if you have a thicker pen, you can use a thicker pen or you can just maybe reinforced existing line. This is going to be thicker. Just some rice, you make it more obvious. And here below these, these will be thicker. Just second line with your pen or a thicker pen. A wavy line. Rise to reinforce the idea of shadow. And then you take your white pen if you have it is optional. But if you have it, it's nice. And you can just add some patches of light on soy sauce to begin with. A line against this. And a couple of dots here and there. Okay, this will keep light. Then you can add some. Here. We didn't reserve enough. So some white dots here, naughty, naughty seaweed. Add some dots here and there. Also you can reinforce this. These lines, salamander natural strikes with some white. Puts a dot on fish here. To add glossiness. You can also add some dots on in fish. Here also. Can add some dots. The dots make it what texture. If you forgot to, to, to leave white here, you can now do now along the rim. Can put the second layer. If your gel pen is not opaque enough. And I wouldn't touch it any longer. We just now peel off the washi tape, but which is very exciting moment, what you can do, you can use your heating tool and heated. These will dissolve the glue so very slowly away from the drawing. So if you tear the paper, you can always put it back in place but you don't tell the drawing at least? Okay. I heat it. Okay. So no tape. Asda, my paper is almost perfect. And I think I'm finished. Normal final touches to act unless you want to. And I hope you that date. 13. Wrap Up & Thank You: You have sketched your sushi with me. I hope you had fun as much as I have.
