In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through my process for layering colors step by step using an avocado as the subject. We’ll look at how every layer contributes to the final texture — from the rough, bumpy skin to the softer, smoother areas of the flesh and seed. I’ll explain the techniques I use to keep each surface distinct while still building depth and dimension. By the end, you’ll understand how to approach different textures in your own work and use layering to make your drawings more realistic and engaging. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Materials List As an Amazon associate I make a small commission on purchases made through these links at no additional cost to you.
