Hi! Thank you for your videos! May I ask for a tutorial on how to draw and color a cherry? Please! Thank you!

Hey Prerna, Love the tip regarding the edges (specially helped when you zoomed into the drawing at 01:40) I sometimes have trouble adding depth to my subjects.

Charlene thank you! Giving correct form and depth has a bit of a learning curve and will come with regular practice :)

I loved your approach, it’s pretty similar to the way I work with watercolour (lights to darks). Do you have any tips on how to determine the edges of the shadow and how/when to smooth them? It seems like the paper helps a lot with this.

Thank you Welber! It helps to convert the reference image to grayscale to see the tonal variations between the shadows, midtones and the highlights. To smooth out the transitions between these, just vary the pressure of the pencil and/or use a blender pencil. Hope this helps!

Prerna Thank you! I’ll try it in my next drawings!
