Watch this Garden Plant Pencil Sketch Come to Life, Step by Step!
Watch how to draw these lovely tomatoes in this quick short video! I'll show you the process to create this tomato plant sketch using pencil on paper. This video has prompts so you can follow along, and is great for anyone wanting to learn how to sketch!
This simple drawing concentrates on line, mark-making, and the use of negative space for a unique little sketch.
This is a 5x7 sketching time lapse. I used mechanical + HB/6B/8B pencils. I included my source photo for this quick drawing so you could see what I'm working from. I popped outside to capture this photo of one of our tomatoes plants growing in a pot on our back deck.
My goal was to quickly capture the feeling of this plant and tomatoes, not to make a photo-realistic reproduction. This type of drawing style is great for plein air or when you just want to capture something without taking a long time but still have a lovely piece at the end.
I like to concentrate on mark-making as I like seeing the evidence of the art creation process. When drawing or sketching, I always feel free to add or subtract things from the source in order to make a more interesting artwork, as this drawing is for purely artistic decorative purposes. You can smooth the pencil marks out or not, depending on how 'sketchy' you want to keep the piece.
If you have any questions about my process or materials be sure to ask! Enjoy the journey as I create this sweet little drawing, and I hope you learn something new about making art and how to draw from your garden!!!
Cheers, Cathy : )
