Our professor just gave us an assignment to sketch a water droplet in a paper and I would say that I hate it. It's because I don't really have the talent when it comes to art but since it is a requirement, I have to do it anyway. But I'm starting to like doing arts and trying to upskill.
I started by creating an outline of the droplet. At first, my plan was to draw only one but since it is not in proportion to the paper, I had to add two more drawings.
I started tracing the outline and then proceeded to sketch the sides of the droplet.
I used a 6B pencil for this because I have it in my case that I also used before from my drawing subjects.
They said I shouldn't put much pressure when sketching, so I maintain the pressure that I was putting while doing the artwork.
I sketch the inside and outside sides first to put some shadows. Then I started to blend it using a cotton bud.
I left a white portion of the droplet to give some reflection effect and to make it realistic. After drawing the first one, I started another two and here is the final outcome!
I know that there's something to improve, but I think this is not bad for a beginner like me. Recently, I am starting to explore the world of art by trying to draw and other art forms. Who knows, it's an upskill after all.
I also posted this on Threads and Snaps and got some good feedback that it's good enough. Some even thought that it was a real droplet.

I love their compliments because I never expected it. I also asked my girl who loves art (I said give her honest feedback) and she said that it's good enough.
Those compliments made my day to be honest.
Not to mention, I even asked ChatGPT to rate it and this is what it said:
