How to Draw an Apple

단계별로

1. 단계 1

   높이보다 조금 넓은 원을 그립니다.

   Start round and correct it later. An apple is not a perfect sphere but it is much closer to one than beginners draw it - most people go straight for the dented top and end up with a shape that reads as a pepper.

   조심해 Drawing the classic 'apple silhouette' from memory instead of the round mass that is actually there.

   체크 Slightly wider than tall, and no dent yet.

2. 단계 2

   상단에 얕은 멍을 눌러, 한쪽으로 떨어져.

   The dip where the stem sits is rarely centred, and putting it slightly to one side immediately makes the apple look like a real one rather than a logo. Keep the dent shallow.

   조심해 Cutting a deep V into the top. Real apples dimple, they do not fold.

   체크 The dent should be off-centre and gentle enough to still read as a circle.

3. 단계 3

   바닥도 약간 중앙에서 떨어져 앉아있게하십시오.

   Almost nothing in nature is symmetrical, and an apple leans. Nudging the base a little away from the dent gives the fruit a direction, which reads as weight.

   조심해 Making the outline perfectly symmetrical, which looks designed rather than observed.

   체크 Draw a vertical line through the dent - the two halves should NOT match exactly.

4. 단계 4

   덤블에서 기대어, 줄기를 추가합니다.

   A stem is a short thick tube, not a hair. Give it some width and let it lean - a vertical stem in the middle is the fastest way to make an apple look like a cartoon.

   조심해 Drawing it as a single thin line straight up.

   체크 It should be thick enough to have two sides.

5. 단계 5

   잎 추가: 한 지점에서 만나는 두 개의 커브.

   One curve is the top edge, the other the bottom, and they meet at a tip. Attach it to the stem rather than floating it nearby - the join is what stops it looking pasted on.

   조심해 Drawing the leaf as an oval, which reads as a balloon.

   체크 Both curves should meet at both ends: base and tip.

6. 단계 6

   빛이 어디에서 오는지 결정하고 표시하십시오.

   Everything from here depends on this one decision, so make it consciously rather than letting it drift. Pick a direction - upper left is easiest - and commit. If you have a real apple, put a lamp on one side of it and look.

   조심해 Not deciding, then shading a bit everywhere. That is the single reason most beginner drawings look flat.

   체크 You should be able to say out loud where the light is.

7. 단계 7

   빛이 가장 직접적으로 닿는 곳에 하이라이트를 윤곽을 그립니다.

   The brightest spot is not on the edge - it is on the part of the surface facing the light most squarely, which on a sphere is inside the form, slightly up and toward the light. Outline it now so you remember not to shade it.

   조심해 Putting the highlight on the outline instead of inside the shape.

   체크 The highlight should be surrounded by apple on all sides.

8. 단계 8

   빛에서 멀리 측면을 그늘, 가장자리에 어두운.

   Work in one direction rather than scrubbing back and forth. Scrubbing produces an even grey, which is exactly the thing that makes a drawing look flat, so lay your strokes the same way and build the darkness up in passes.

   조심해 Being too timid. Beginners routinely stop two or three steps short of dark enough.

   체크 The darkest area should be clearly darker than the mid tone, not slightly.

9. 단계 9

   빛을 향해 그림자를 혼합하므로 하드 라인이 없습니다.

   On a round object the transition from light to dark is gradual - a hard edge would mean a sharp corner. This soft band is called the core shadow and getting it to fade is most of what makes a sphere read as a sphere.

   조심해 Leaving a visible seam where the shading starts.

   체크 Run a finger along the transition. You should not be able to point at where it begins.

10. 단계 10

    아주 아래 가장자리를 따라 가벼운 밴드를 남겨.

    Light bounces up off the table and catches the underside. That thin lighter strip is called reflected light, and it is what stops the apple looking glued to the background. It is subtle - lighter than the core shadow, still darker than the lit side.

    조심해 Making it as bright as the highlight, which flattens the bottom of the apple out again.

    체크 Three values along the bottom: dark, then slightly lighter, then the shadow on the table.

11. 단계 11

    빛으로부터 떨어진 테이블에 그림자를 던져 넣습니다.

    The cast shadow is darkest where it meets the apple and softens as it moves away. It also anchors the fruit to a surface - without it the apple floats, however well you have shaded it.

    조심해 Drawing it as an even grey oval detached from the apple.

    체크 It should touch the apple and be darkest right at that contact point.

12. 단계 12

    어두운 어두운 깊이와 범위를 확인합니다.

    Hold your drawing at arm's length and squint. You should see a clear lightest area, a clear darkest area, and a smooth ramp between. If everything sits in a narrow band of grey, push the darks - almost nobody pushes them far enough on a first attempt.

    조심해 Lightening the highlight instead of darkening the shadow. Contrast comes from the dark end.

    체크 Squint at it. Can you still see three distinct values?

13. 단계 13

    얼마나 강하게 누르는지에 따라 윤곽을 넘어가세요.

    A real edge is not one uniform line. Where the form turns away from you into shadow it is darker and firmer; where the light hits it the edge almost disappears. Varying it is the last thing that separates a drawing from a colouring page.

    조심해 Tracing the whole outline at one weight, which undoes the roundness you just shaded in.

    체크 The outline on the shadow side should be visibly darker than on the lit side.
