STEPS:
1. Sketching
Sketch up your candy bar to practice the forms and wrapper design.
Pay attention how wrapper design bends.
Use angles and measure proportions.
This step is necessary before you start the final drawing.
2. Drawing
Designate 3 areas on your drawing paper for each stage.
Start with the first stage – use your sketch.
Use a hard pencil (H or 2H) for fine thin lines.
Include every tiny detail, reflection, design, wrinkle, and shadow
3. Coloring
Start coloring with the largest solids.
Mix (blend) colors on a scrap paper to achieve a desired shade.
4. Next stage
Unwrap your candy bar
Position it at a different angle.
Repeat from step 1.
