Hi friends!

Today I tell and show you how I draw a still life - with beautiful fruits and drapery.
I chose to draw a persimmons - it's very saturated and colorful fruit.

After reviewing several photos with persimmon, I came up with an interesting composition, where the central object is a bowl of fruit.

After some sketches I chose this.

Color palette was this
(drawing in Paint Tool SAI 2)

I start my work by identifying base colors.

Yes, I use the same favorite brushes Oil Brist 2, Old Rough and Inks Pen I listed in this tuitorial

It is very important at the initial steps to determine a direction of the lighting, so that later you don't get confused in the shadows.

Then I drew a folds of drapery according to the direction of illumination.
In my opinion, this is not a very thin, dense enough fabric, which lies in beautiful folds.

Detalizate a leaves and added a flowers of persimmons.

I pay attention to the colored reflexes from the fabric falling on the fruit and apply them

At the same stage, I sketch out persimmon flowers

Then I went to make a texture wall behind a table.

I chose a suitable texture from free distribution stocks, put it in my work and set the blending mode to Soft light.

I also paint the wood texture with a brush Ink Pen

Some details of art

Shadows and highlights on the fruit that accentuate the volume of the shape

Drawing drop shadows and details of flowers

Thanks for your attention to my tutorials!

Have a nice day!
