How to Draw a Glass With Water In Tutorial

Hello my friends and welcome to another Tuesday of tutorial. I am Leonardo Pereznieto and today we are going to draw a glass of water. We begin by sketching an oval for the upper part of the glass. With lose strokes and several passes, we shape it. Like so. Then the sides, and the oval for the lower part. For the vertical lines you may use a ruler. I did it by hand and so maybe it's not perfect. We erase the marks that we don´t need. And then we draw the first white reflections. We are ready to lightly start shading. We give a tone that then we can smudge with the chamois. On the inside of the glass I want some curving darker reflections. We smudge it and then we can pull some lights, with the eraser. Very good! The waterline, and then some reflections on it. This is going to be a glass half full because that´s the correct viewpoint! We do some more white reflections, and to give some dark contrast, we can use the black of the color pencils. Something like this. Very good! Playing with the black and with the white, we can give a very interesting effect. 

Here on the water surface there will be even brighter lights. I did this with the white pastel, while the softer whites I do them with the white of the color pencils. And the gray shades with the mechanical pencil. The complete list of materials is in the information below the video. The cast shadow will be over here, a good shadow always helps the drawing very much! This is so fun! The drawing is so pleasurable! We place some lines and then smudge to give a tone. We erase some areas and then, give light! Good! Both lights and shadows can extend into the sides. I darken this part a little bit more, so that it gets more volume! By the way the white works in this case because I am drawing on gray toned paper, if I was drawing on white paper it wouldn't show at all. Very good! We give it the last reflections, the last final touches…and it´s ready!
