Oilpastel Oranges!

This instructable is all about drawing oranges with oilpastels.

That orange in the plate above is not real, it is one of my drawings!

Oil pastes ( red, green, yellow, orange, brown, black, white).

Paper.

A pencil.

Just draw a simple orange-shaped circle with a small dot on the top for a stem.

I have put some arrows to mark the light and shadow.

You don't have to draw the arrows, they are only for the easy understanding of my pictures.

Color it with a bright orange but don't color it nicely, because this mess is important for the next steps.

Don't worry about the light and shadow.

Spread the color evenly with your fingers!

Add green and spread it, but don't over do it, as this can get messed up very easily.

Put some yellow on the area where most of the light is hitting it.

It may not have much of an effect right now, but you'll see...

Put white over the yellow and work it around with your fingers until it becomes like picture 3.

Draw three lines of black where most of the shadow will be.

Spread out these lines, like in picture 2, and add some red spots, but not too bright red spots.

NOTE: Black and dark blue oilpastels look very similar! Make sure to test them before using them on your drawing.

Add the brown stem and (if needed) add some more white to the bright spot.

I am making my orange's shadow very dark, but it is not important, just do what makes you happy.

Orange you glad there weren't any lame fruit puns in this instructable?
