Cake, the star of the dessert world, is a favorite of many. Not only is it delicious, but it also comes in a variety of forms. When we turn our attention to the paintings, the cake becomes a regular on the canvas. But how do you bring this tantalizing delicacy to life with a paintbrush?Next, let's explore how to draw a simple and beautiful cake.
1. Choose the right painting materials.
Before you start drawing, it's important to choose the right material. For cake painting, we mainly need to use the following painting materials:
Brushes: Choose soft, bouncy brushes that will better express the texture and details of your cake. Depending on your needs, you can choose from different models of brushes, such as round heads, flat heads, etc.
Drawing paper: Choose a piece of drawing paper with a certain thickness to ensure that the work will last for a long time. At the same time, the color of the paper will also affect the overall tone of the work, which you can choose according to your preferences.
Pigments: In order to better express the color of the cake, it is recommended to choose bright colors with high contrast. In addition, to simulate the creamy texture of the cake, you can choose to add some white pigments to blend.
2. Composition and layout.
Before you start painting, you first need to compose the picture on the drawing paper. A good composition can make the work more eye-catching. For the painting of cakes, the following compositions can be adopted:
Center Composition: Place the cake in the center of the picture, and use it as the core to bring out the deliciousness of the cake through the surrounding environment or decoration.
Symmetrical composition: With the cake as the center, other elements are arranged in a symmetrical way on both sides to make the picture more balanced.
Oblique composition: Place the cake at an oblique angle of the picture to create a sense of movement and make the picture more vivid.
Once you've decided on the composition, you can start the layout. To make the cake look more enticing, you can try to draw the cake into several parts, such as the cake base, cake body, cream, and garnish, etc. Through a reasonable layout, the picture can be made richer and more layered.
3. Draw the various parts of the cake.
Cake base: Use light yellow paint and use a flat-tipped paintbrush to gently trace the shape of the cake base. Take care to show the texture and texture of the base.
Cake Body: Use darker yellow paint to paint the cake body. To make the cake look more enticing, you can add some pale spots or streaks to the cake.
Cream: Use white pigments to create a creamy texture with gentle brushstrokes. Take care to show the fluidity of the cream and make it look more natural.
Garnish: Depending on personal preference, you can add some fruits, candies, or other decorations to the cake. These details can make the cake more lively and interesting.
Fourth, the details of processing and improvement.
After you have finished drawing each part, you need to make overall adjustments and details to the picture. Check if there are any parts of the picture that need to be strengthened or weakened to make the picture more harmonious and unified. In addition, you can also add some light and shadow effects to the picture to make the cake look more three-dimensional and realistic.
5. Completion and display of works.
After a series of steps, a simple and beautiful cake painting is complete. It's a great option to hang it indoors or as a greeting card for friends and family.
