In this exclusive real-time tutorial, you’ll learn how to draw a realistic leaf with dew drops using graphite pencils on 250 GSM sketchbook paper. Working within a 7×7 inch area, we begin by creating a simple grid to map the shape of the leaf and droplets. You’ll practice smooth background shading with graphite powder, blending it using brushes and tissue for a soft, blurred depth. The leaf is developed with layered tones, while Mono Zero, kneaded, and electric erasers are used to build highlights, veins, and glossy droplets. This lesson is perfect for studying textures, contrast, and realistic water effects. References are included in the Materials section.
