Draw an Apple in Coloured Pencil
A complete free tutorial from botanical artist Emma Tildesley. Watch every step, from first layer to finished drawing, and download the line drawing to start from.

Hello, I'm Emma. I paint botanicals from life in my studio in Worcestershire, and I teach people all over the world to do the same.
This two toned apple is the perfect first coloured pencil project. Layer by layer you'll build the reds over the greens, learn how the shine sits on the skin, and finish with a fruit that looks ready to pick up off the page.
Pop your email below and I'll open the full video tutorial for you straight away, with the line drawing to download and print. It costs nothing, and you'll also hear from me when new free tutorials and live classes come up.
