Master class on drawing an umbrella with a simple pencil and shading
This method of depicting objects is more complicated. Therefore, they are recommended to be used by those who are already familiar with the basics of drawing with a simple pencil. Shadowing is usually learned at middle school age. But a master class can help here too. He will show you how to draw an umbrella step by step and then apply the shading correctly.
- First, draw an oval. Here you should use a thin line, as it will be removed later. This is an additional construction.
- Then the oval is divided into eight parts by straight segments. The lines must intersect in the center of the oval.
- The additional structure in the form of an oval is removed with an eraser.
- Arcs are placed between the ends of the segments, connecting them to each other.
- Now comes the most difficult moment. You need to shade the umbrella beautifully to give the image volume.
- You can start working on the drawing from the upper segments of the object. For work, use a well-sharpened soft simple pencil. The strokes are applied not with the tip, but with the flat of the stylus. To do this, the pencil should be held at the smallest angle to the sheet.
- Select five parts first, starting from the top right corner segment. They are shaded in the inner corners to the middle. You need to maintain the direction of the stroke lines. They should go from the corners to the middle of the segment.
- The third segment can be made completely painted over. But the tone of the shading should not be intense.
- In the fourth and fifth segments, it is necessary to highlight more clearly the convexity, the arc, which represents the internal wire spacer. In these places the shading is more intense, almost black.
- In the fifth segment, the darker shade is narrower on the second ray of the angle. But the more intense color is only in its lower part.
- The sixth segment is shaded only in the lower part.
- In the seventh, you need to paint a little less from the bottom and grab part of the spacer arc on the left.
- The eighth segment has a dark part only at the upper ray of the corner.
- After applying the shading, you should additionally highlight the arcs of the umbrella.
- If you wish, you can complete the drawing of a girl hiding under an umbrella, or two lovers tenderly hugging each other.
Anyone who sets this goal and takes their lessons seriously can achieve success and learn to draw an umbrella.
Stages of work:

Using a simple pencil, draw an inclined line, the end of which will be directed to the left. This line will serve as the center for the umbrella and the handle. From above we retreat the same distance to the left and right, and draw a second line. We draw an ellipse around it - an elongated oval shape. We make a notch on top of the oval to determine the top of the umbrella:

From the top of the ellipse we define the upper part of the umbrella and connect them. Add a sharp tip on top in the middle:

We move on to dividing the umbrella into compartments. Let's start from the top. Let's divide them into three parts. The middle will differ from the sides in that its size will be slightly reduced in width, and the top line will be curved downwards. If you compare the height, the middle will be higher. Following the laws of perspective:

Now let's divide the inside. Let's depict the divisions with curved lines - upwards. The side parts will have the smallest size:

Next, draw dividing lines. Toward the top they will converge to the center line, or in other words, to the handle. From its upper part to the sides we will draw horizontal lines that will hold the entire structure of the open umbrella:

We erase the auxiliary lines with an eraser and begin to create a shadow. We apply strokes evenly, starting from the bends. The direction of the strokes can be changed, this will help create volume:

We continue to shade the inside. For now, the top and bottom will match in tone, but later you need to make the shadow darker inside:

Let's make a thickening on the handle and add stripes at the bottom:

The umbrella will cast a shadow. The light source is on the right, so the shadow will be on the left:

Using a soft pencil, add contrast and carefully, trying not to darken it, draw the contours. Job completed:
So we learned how to draw an umbrella step by step using a simple pencil. It turns out it's not difficult at all
