Step 6 – Finish off your lamp drawing with some color
Nothing finishes off a picture quite like some amazing colors, and that is what we shall add for the final step of your lamp drawing! In our reference picture, we showed you the color scheme that we would go with.
These include shades of red and yellow for the lamp and light source, but these colors are just our suggestion.
You could go for a similar color scheme if you like the look of it or use completely unique colors of your own choosing! Which approach will you take for your lamp drawing?
Do this to take your lamp drawing to the next level
Shed some light on how you can make this lamp sketch look even better!
This drawing of a lamp looks like it is on, but there is no light shining from it. You could show that there is some light coming from the lamp by adding some light yellow.
You’d want the colors to be as soft as possible, so using mediums like watercolor paints and colored pencils would be ideal.
Try to show the light in a cone coming from the lamp and avoid using outlines if you can.
This will help to make the light look way more realistic!
Looking at the lamp itself, you will see that it is colored with some light reds. This looks great, but you may have other colors you would prefer, and these could substitute the red.
For example, you may like colors like blue or green more than red. If that is the case, then simply use your chosen color for the lamp instead.
What are some colros you would like to use for this lamp?
This lamp drawing shows one kind of lamp, but there are so many different variations. You could brighten up this artwork by adding some more lamp variations!
For example, you could have one with a traditional lampshade. If there are oyster lamps or sources of light in your home that look cool, then you could also add them to the image.
What are some lamp variations you would like to be a part of this image?
Finally, you could show what kind of environment this lamp sketch is lighting up by drawing a background setting. This could be as simple as having the lamp on a desk.
Even if you do go for a simple setting like that, you could still make it interesting by having some objects that the lamp is illuminating.
If you need some inspiration, then you could look at some desks or other surfaces in your own home to use as a basis for the picture you’re drawing.
