1. Let's sketch an apple with pastels. Using a Conte Crayon, start out lightly with basic forms to indicate the apple.
2. Use medium blue-gray pastel to deepen the shadows. Loosely sketch in a bit of background.
3. Introduce some color. Medium green for the apple, and some beige and Conte red in the background.
4. Add some warm red as a transition color between the apple green and natural shadow. Gently merge colors with your finger.
Tip: Don't overblend when using pastel for sketches. You'll want to retain the crisp, fresh look the pastel strokes leave behind.
5. Use more warm red in the apple to unify. Add a crisp, cool highlight to complete your sketch. Be sure to include lost and found edges in your drawing.
