Drawing Still Life: Objects and Textures

Still Life Drawing

Still life is a genre of drawing that involves drawing inanimate objects such as fruits, flowers, vases, or other household items. Drawing still life can help you develop your observation skills and learn how to represent form, texture, and color in your drawings.

Tips for Drawing Still Life

  • Pay attention to the composition, lighting, and the objects' relationships to each other.
  • To draw textures, create contrast between light and dark areas to make the texture stand out.
  • Use heavier lines and shading to create a sense of depth and roughness for rough surfaces.
  • Use lighter lines and shading to create a sense of smoothness and reflection for smooth surfaces.

Overall, drawing still life is a great way to hone your skills and develop your own unique style and voice in drawing.
