Hello, how are you? Sometime dissappointment can be an inspiration to make art, I am saying it for myself LOL. Last week, my mom bought a papaya. I was so excited to eat one because it had been a while since I ate one, and to our disappointment, the moment that anemic yellow appeared inside, not the vibrant orange one, I am telling you that was the saddest papaya I ever tasted.
To ease that disappointment, I drew a real papaya that looks like using oil pastel. I will be making it as tasty as I remembered what a real papaya tastes like. So yeah, I wanted to release this frustration of mine.
Materials I Used:
- Paper
- Oil Pastel
- Tissue
- Scratching Tool
Oil Pastel Time!
Using this ochre pastel, I drew the papaya. I was looking at the sad papaya I took, LOL.
To my frustration, I almost didn't finish this piece of drawing, but the moment I slept, I was ready to continue it, haha. So yeah, it looks basic at this moment, but trust the process.
So the color of our tablecloth is red, so I am going to stick to the color, just lay that color in the light first. And then I added the first layer, which was the lighter version of the orange shades.
Then I layer it with the darkest shade of orange, then with lighter shades, and I thought I would not get the right color of the seeds inside, but I trust the process and felt like it was going in the right direction. LOL.
Now the drawing is getting there, I felt like it was time to add the shadows to make it dimensional, so I did.
When I was sick, adding shades to the first papaya, I did the second one, LOL.
I felt sick, so I called it done for the seeds.
And then decided to color the background completely.
Time to add the texture, this is one of my favorite parts of all.
Here is a close-up look at the final drawing.
I was talking inside my head that time I finished this drawing, "this is a real papaya color looks like". Now my mind is at ease. I hope you like it.
Thank you for visiting, see you on my next blog. :D
