Learn how to draw a realistic red apple in this tutorial by Painter Master Aaron Rutten. He starts by drawing a sketch to get the correct proportions of the apple. Next, flat colors are added to fill in the sketch and create an apple shape. The shape is then shaded to give it 3D form. Details are added like reflections and texture to make the apple look more lifelike.
