Step-by-Step Guide to Drawing a Realistic Apple
Step 1: Preparing Your Canvas 🖼️
First things first, grab your sketchbook and open it to a blank page. Place your sketchbook on a flat surface, ensuring you have good lighting.

Step 2: Sketch the Outline ✏️
Using an HB pencil, lightly sketch the outline of an apple. Don’t worry about making it perfect; this is just the foundation.

Step 3: Adding the Base Color 🎨
Now, it’s time to add some color! Take your paintbrush and dip it into the red paint. Start filling in the outline of the apple, leaving the area where the bite will be taken out unpainted.

Step 4: Shading and Depth 🖌️
To make the apple look more realistic, add some shading. Use a darker shade of red and gently blend it into the base color to create a sense of depth. You can add some yellow to the mix for highlights.

Step 5: Detailing the Bite 🍏
Using a smaller brush, add details to the bitten area of the apple. Mix white and a touch of yellow paint to create a lighter color and fill in the bite. Use short, quick strokes to mimic the texture of the apple’s flesh.

Step 6: Refining the Edges 🖋️
With a fine brush or a black pen, outline the edges of the apple and the bite to make them stand out. This step will give your drawing a polished look.

Step 7: Adding the Stem 🌿
No apple is complete without its stem! Use a fine brush to paint the stem brown. Add a touch of black for shadows and highlights to give it a realistic appearance.

Step 8: Final Touches ✨
Take a step back and look at your drawing. Add any final touches or adjustments needed. Use your eraser to clean up any stray pencil marks. Add a few white dots on the apple to represent the shine.
