The Plant

In this lesson I will describe the process of drawing a plant and drawing drops of water on its leaves.

Step 1. We begin with a background. In our case it is absolutely not necessary, because in this lesson we pay attention only on drawing and detailed elaboration of a plant. But that it is better to feel its color, we’ll pick up to the background a gentle shade.

Step 2. We create a New Layer and the fast sketch of leaves is done.

Step 3. When the sketch will be ready, we pass to a palette. We select some shades of green color, and we paint over plants, considering more light areas and a shadow.

Step 4. Let’s pick up two more shades, darker and lighter. By means of game of light and a shadow, we’ll give to the plant volume.

Step 5. We choose Eraser Tool. Accurately we wipe up all superfluous, do lines more equal and graceful. Then again we take a brush, with the darkest shade, and we draw corners.

Step 6. In adjustments of a brush we lower Opacity up to 30 %. We draw an average part of leaves, and lines symmetrically departing from it.

Step 7. Let’s return Opacity value of 100 % and we’ll work with the darkest zones. Then by means of Brush Tool and Eraser Tool we’ll correct the form of the bottom forward leaf.

Step 8. We choose Dodge Tool (Highlights, 75 %) and it is clarified average parts of leaves.

Step 9. Then we take Burn Tool (Midtones, 50 %) and we black out areas of the shadow. Leaves should become more volumetric and realistic.

Step 10. By means of tools Brush, Eraser and Burn Tool, we correct the form of a stalk, doing it more detailed.
