💧Water Drop Watercolor Sketch Tutorial (Patreon)

In this lesson, we’ll explore how to paint something simple yet very impressive — a single water drop. At first glance, it may seem complicated, but once you understand the principles, it becomes a very fun and rewarding subject to sketch.

Step by step, we’ll go through:🎨 the main features of water drops — light and shadow💧 how to show transparency and volume using only a few shades of blue🖌 techniques for smooth watercolor gradients that make the drop look realistic✨ how to add highlights and finishing touches with a liner or gel pen
