Hopefully you had some fun with this one.Vandelay Design may receive compensation from companies, products, and services covered on our site. We learned a lot about advanced gradients and other shading techniques that will certainly remain helpful down the road. That was a pretty hefty tutorial for the detailed, realistic pencil drawing. Just to finish it up, let’s do another ellipse the same way, but just color it black.Īll that’s left to do is apply some sort of background. With the colors all set, let’s set the Blur to 7px and Opacity to 65%.
The goal here is to color the ellipse to the same as the bottom of the pencil. The fun part about this one is that you can just go back and forth with the Color picker. Now we need to apply a linear gradient with about 10 stops. We’re going to draw a reflection, so let’s start with a wide ellipse just about as long as the entire pencil. With the eraser in position, we have a pencil! But, we’re not done yet. Let’s apply a Radial gradient to the eraser and give it a couple pink stops. Now we can go to Path > Object to Path to fine tune our eraser’s shape with the Nodes tool. To draw the eraser, let’s start with a rectangle with rounded corners. With everything in place so far, this is what you should have so far. Apply the same chrome gradient to these line’s strokes as well. To finish it up, let’s add 8 lines with a stroke of 2px each. We’re trying the get the fading black effect only on the left and right sides, so position it accordingly. This gradient will feature 4 stops with black, transparent black, transparent black, and black. Similar to what we did for the tip’s shading, let’s add a linear gradient to the stroke. With the Gradient tool, go ahead and put that crazy gradient into place. Let’s apply a linear gradient with the 6 stops shown below. Since this is supposed to be a piece of metal, we’re going to need a pretty good chrome gradient. On the other end of the pencil, let’s draw another rectangle with the same height as our pencil ( 41px for me). I used a linear gradient with the colors shown below.

Using the Pen tool and free handing it worked well, along with rounding the very tip.įinally, we can position and color our graphite tip. Since we don’t want a sad pencil, let’s add the graphite tip. Position it like I have it below and you can see it adds a sort of shadow effect. One stop will be black while the other one will simply be a transparent black. Remember when said to remember the height of your pencil? Well, now is a good time to make sure the tip is the same height as well.įor some extra blending, let’s apply a linear gradient on the stroke. I had to edit a couple of the nodes to make it look just right, so you may end up doing the same. Now we can position the tip onto the end of the stem. Of course, you can refer to the image below for the specifics. With my pencil tip shape all set, it’s time to apply a linear gradient. You can go ahead and fine tune those also. To smooth some of those jagged edges, use the Nodes tool to select those edges and select Nodes symmetric from the nodes toolbar.
For the tip, let’s use the Pen tool and draw a shape like I have below.
