In this art video I show you one way to draw a realistic glass of water from observation.

Some tips for you to consider: Draw a loose line drawing first; start looking for tonal shapes from the middle of your drawing; draw on pale grey paper, use a 4B pencil; draw what you see, rather than what you think is there; add highlights at the end.

Art materials used: 4B Pencil, Dove Grey Paper, Soft Pastel (White), Eraser.
