Inktober2026 #1 / Apple
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah, everyone.
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah, everyone.Hello dear friends,
I hope you are all doing well and staying healthy.
Alhamdulillah, I am doing very well too.
Today, I am once again sharing a beautiful drawing of a female crocodile with you all. I truly enjoy creating this kind of art. There is a unique, living love hidden within art; I try to draw that love from my heart and bring it to life on the blank page. While drawing, I often lose myself in that artistic world; eventually, I emerge to complete the piece and share it with my friends. Sharing my work with friends and receiving their lovely feedback inspires me further. Today, I will share the step-by-step process of how I completed this drawing so you can see the journey behind it.
I really love this piece. It is fascinating how a work of art emerges from just a few simple strokes—how a drawing comes together so easily and fluidly. I enjoy the process immensely, and I hope you will like it too. This particular piece was a bit different; it holds a special place in my heart among my favorite artworks. Somehow, whenever I set out to draw, my heart naturally gravitates toward these kinds of subjects. As I search for inspiration, these specific designs often appear before me, and I simply love drawing them.
So, let’s take a look at how I created this piece.
I hope you enjoy it. The materials required for today's artwork are:
👑 White paper
👑 Pencil
👑 Eraser
✏️ Step 1
✏️ Step 1First, I lightly sketched the basic shape of the apple using a pencil. I tried to ensure the elongated shape of the apple remained accurate.
♻️ Step 2
♻️ Step 2In the second step, I drew the stem at the top of the apple and darkened the pencil lines along the edges to make the apple's shape more distinct.
♻️ Step 3
♻️ Step 3In the third step, I drew a long leaf next to the stem. I tried to make the leaf look realistic by sketching some vein lines inside it.
♻️ Step 4
♻️ Step 4In this step, I used both light and dark pencil strokes to create shading around the apple. This makes the apple look much more beautiful and realistic than before.
♻️ Step 5
♻️ Step 5Finally, I added small marks on the apple's surface and deepened the shading a bit more. This completed the drawing. I tried my best to draw it well, though I'm not sure how successful I was. That brings today's blog post to an end.
In conclusion, I hope everyone enjoys today's artwork.
Wishing everyone well, I am signing off here.
I invite my friend's @bimanakhan,@jasimuddin0 and @taniya0

It is a good start in drawing, when you draw an object think about light source what direction it is coming from and the shadows, the objects should not float in air, make sure you have them on surface and to make an impression of surface there should be a shadow. Also please pay attention to your communication with others write comments and reply them. Being on Steemit means to visit others, engage and grow :)
Thank you for the advice. I will follow these guidelines from now on.
You made a flashy start. If Indeed it well the worm holes are present. This means you could add a miniature or two...or us this a wooden apple and relic.
I look forward to your next drawing and the improvements you took.
Happy INKtober!
Your comments overwhelm and delight me right from the start. You evaluate everyone's posts with great care and thoughtfulness.
The apple looks appetizing and aromatic in your rendition; one might even guess it’s a Jonathan variety :)
