And Now we're going to do the sketching first
And I'm gonna do The Sketching with the sketch of the books
Okay so we have we Just have to follow the pattern
Or the the perspective of the book i so i'm gonna do like something like This
And That's it so you have a Lot of Books Here but Should We Always careful Guys with our perspective
I'm Now going to start
Sketching The
seashell so you have to follow what you see on our reference Photo?
It Doesn't Matter guys if it's perfect or something off as Long as the proportion is Good That's fine
okay

The Sketch and some unnecessary lines using the wet Brush
okay and After sketching we'll Start Painting Now
Let'S mix first with the
With a Little orange color okay so i'm going to put It Here guys Because there were some
Let's Say That the shell is a Little Thin
Okay so i'm going to start Now adding the highlights so I'm going to
Put a Yellowish Highlights Guys also always Remember This that we're going to put a Yellowish Highlights and
Of Course we Need to we need to visualize
Where
Natural light coming From came From
So of course we Need to put all the Highlights on the top left TOP RIGHT I'm sorry i mean top right
and on the full tutorial guys you can see It in a Real Time
Real Time video so It won't be as fast as this
okay so let's add a little I'm going to add a Little grayish color here so
This Part guys Should Be a Little grayish Because
The Direct sunlight Does not Hit this part
Okay so i'm going to mix for a little bluish color for our
bouncing Light or some bluish is Reflection
okay something Like That guys so of Course i'm going to put it all on the
Right Side (I mean LEFT BOTTOM SIDE) or below the
below the
on the Seashell
So this part guys Should be a little off
Or something the color Should Be a little dull or a Little Bluish or grayish because there's no light
Hitting This Part
And I'm going To put some bluish light on this on this part
okay
and I'm going to mix for
Darker Color Guys for shades so i'm going to put some Shades or Darker
Color on the and
Hole of The Seashell okay and some Little red here

Bouncing from The from the Left side
And you can See Clearly guys that the light Is blue the blue color of the light blue color is light
Lighter Than The Background and you can see It Clearly That It has a Brighter light Bluish Light Here
okay
so it Will it will create more dramatic effect guys on our painting and
If You compare it to the reference it doesn't have any Bluish light there so i am Just
Making It My Own and i want it to be a little dramatic using this bluish effect blue light effect color
or something like That okay
and I'm going to add more Highlights on the top right Part of our Seashell
So let's Just add more White Guys on our
on the Yellow color or some Yellowish orange color so Just add more White Than that and you can
Put It directly and Make It as the Highlights
okay so something Like This
Okay so Just use your imagination Guys and visualize Where you gonna put the lights
Anyway it's not Always perfect but it will make you
comfortable or
or something like That It Will You Will know we're gonna put the lights and
Truly It Will Be a Good practice guys for you to learn the proper way and adding The lights on your painting
That's it
so it doesn't Matter Guys iF you follow the textures or patterns of the
Seashell as Long As It Will be a Little The same or Similar it Will Be okay
So it will be your creativity Guys and you Will be the one to decide
And Now we're going to add more White to add
more Highlights okay and Here we Go add some details like
Little orange or red orange color so that You can see you can put a
Darker Tone Reddish tone on the Seashell

On the books and i'm going to put Again Guys the Natural light on the left side no i mean the RIGHT SIDE
The Right Side Top right so i'm adding more Yellowish a light color or
Highlights on the Right side

More Bluish light guys on the on the right side I mean on the LEFT SIDE i'm sorry on the left side and
as You observe Guys i may Get a little Bluish or bluish gray Color
So again It is coming from the bluish
Reflection coming From The Left side
okay
And on My reference There's no bluish color there so i am Actually
Experimenting on this Part and
I'm going to put some Highlights on the top of the book so
So it's Just something like this you can put a lighter blue or light blue color right Here
And Always visualize where you gonna put the lights
So i am That's Why i'm adding The arrows Where the light striking or hitting the books?
