What we are drawing
Today we’re going to draw a water drop. While the shape is pretty simple, the challenge is in the colour and reflections. This one is beginner friendly but good practice for anyone.
Step 1
Start with a light circle that will make up the main shape of our water drop. Over the next few steps we will further refine this underdrawing.
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
Step 5
Step 6
OK so the underdrawing is done, its a pretty simple shape. Lets move on.
Step 7
Lets darken the outline for now. We will remove this in the future, but we want to see what were working with here for this stage of the drawing.
Step 8
First, lets block in some darker blue that will live in the background.
Step 9
Now a nice darker shadow around the right side to give the drop some depth.
Step 10
Now a brighter blue in the middle of the drop to further give it that three dimensional look.
Step 11
Some light highlights around the dark side to mimic how light and shadows work in the real world.
Step 12
Add a big juicy highlight at the front, you deserve it!
Step 13
Step 14
Step 15
We’re using Procreate on an iPad so we can lighten things up after the fact. Which is what we’re doing here.
Step 16
I guess water doesnt have a dark outline in real life, so remove it or keep it, it’s up to you!
Step 17
🎉 Finished Drawing 🎉
Add nice little background a you’ve got yourself a drop of water that’s good enough to drink!
