In this exclusive real-time tutorial, you’ll learn how to draw a hyper realistic cherry using colored pencils on simple 250 GSM smooth sketchbook paper—so no fancy materials are required. My assistant guides you step by step through creating a clean grid, outlining with precision, and layering vibrant reds, greens, and maroons to achieve depth, shine, and 3D roundness. You’ll also see how to add subtle textures, realistic shadows, and water droplets using erasers and highlights to make the fruit pop from the page. This project is perfect for practicing pressure control, stroke direction, and blending techniques while discovering how small details bring realism to life. And as usual, the references of this tutorial are included in the Materials section.
