3 - How to draw Onions

[GPeachy]

Oh thanks everyone. I am so happy that I joined, lots of love in here.

Hi Ginger, well done with the adding of the photo and your drawing of the onion and garlic  I remember when I did this one and Nolan suggested I shade the back in evenly at  a 45^o and then again at 90^o angles. It made a huge difference. If you look on page 4 of this discussion and then page 5 you will see my first post and then the touched up background if you want

great job on this drawing - just the background to even out as Lisa mentioned

Good work, Kathy.  Like the cross-hatched background.

Maybe a bit more blending where the skin shadow shows on the onion.

     Mea:  I lightened and blended the shadow behind the loose onion skin.  It looks better.   Kathy

  It sure felt good to get out my pencils and draw. It's been a couple of weeks.  Nolan for another fabulous class. I really enjoyed the lesson. I feel pretty good about how this turned out but am certainly open to any suggestions for improvement!

KathyS,

You have every reason to feel good about this  - you did a great job.  Your cross-hatched background looks really good.

[Steve Weatherwax]

Beautiful job, Kathy. I love it. My only criticism is "Practice, practice, practice." You get better with each drawing you do.

[Kathysutterlin]

  Steve for you encouragement and suggestion. I promise to practice, practice, practice. That is the easy part because I LOVE to draw! 

[KathyKuz]

Kathy:  I really like your onions and garlic.  You have done a nice drawing.  Keep going.

[Kathysutterlin]

  so much Kathy K. I promise I will.

[nolan]
