In this pencil drawing tutorial I'll show you how to capture realistic reflections on shiny surfaces as I take you through drawing a metal spoon. You'll learn how to use three key shading techniques:

light and dark shapes
hard and soft edges
smooth blended shading

Used together, these techniques help to create a realistic 3D effect and create the appearance of a shiny metal surface.

Suitable for intermediate level or beginners who are keen to give it a go!

Materials needed:

Sketch paper
HB or 2B pencil for sketching
A couple of darker pencils for shading (any from 2B - 8B)
Eraser
Tissue for smudging
Optional: Mono Zero eraser pen. Blending stump.
