How to Sketch Water Droplets for Beginners? Water drops are transparent surfaces where light enters from one source, gets refracted and dispersed within the droplet, casting shadows on several areas. Although it might seem a little challenging, it’s quite easy to master drawing realistic water droplets. Here’s a step-by-step guide to drawing water droplets for beginners on the learning curve. Before that, let’s have a brief look at the art supplies you will be needing: Art Supplies: 1. Gray-toned paper
2. HB and 4B pencil (darker values) 3. White charcoal pencil (lighter tones) Alternative Art Supplies to White Charcoal Pencil: 1. Gouache 2. White gel pens Being curious is good, especially when it comes to drawing something for the first time. So, it's often wise to ask some questions so that the discoveries come effortlessly: 1. 2. 3. 4.
Where is the source of light? Where do the highlights or the glare appear? Where will the shadow appear, and where is it cast? How does the light get refracted or dispersed within the droplet?
Step-by-Step Method: 1. Take a gray surface as a canvas so that it’s convenient to create a full range of values. 2. Begin sketching by imitating the imperfect shape of a droplet with an HB pencil. You can avoid filling up a rectangular portion towards the right that will be the highlight of the droplet. 3. Blend the circular, controlled marks with the help of a blending stump. 4. The next step is to start with the lighter values using a white charcoal pencil, moving from subtle tones to the deepest ones. 5. Use a blending stump for blending the values to help the texture of the surface look consistent. 6. For the cast shadow areas, use a softer 4B pencil to darken the values and then blend with a blending stump. 7. Enhance the lighter tones further with a white charcoal pencil, followed by blending to complete the sketch. Tips to Follow: 1. Create more water droplets to make the scene look more convincing. 2. Do not make the water drop too small in your initial attempt so that it’s easy to follow the step-by-step journey. 3. Create a gradient and do not press your pencil firmly on the paper for a darker shade.
4. To build up layers or a gradient, always move from the lightest to darkest tones, as it’s more flexible to make further adjustments. 5. Avoid using an eraser to stop disrupting the layers of shading you’ve created. 6. If you are trying to paint water droplets, consider using mixed media so that you have a realistic-looking water droplet.
