I will draw bread using a real pencil.

1. Sketch

Roughly draw the shape of the bread with a G-pen.

2. Block Division

While drawing, refer to the sketch and divide it into 4 blocks:

the left block, the middle block, the right block, and the inside.

3. Change Layer Color

Change all the divided layers to white using Edit → Tonal Correction → Hue/Saturation/Luminosity.

All layers are now white.

(The background has been painted for clarity.)

4. Paint with Clipping

I will paint using a real pencil.

The pen settings are as follows.

Clip to the white layer and start painting.

First, I applied a light yellow.

Next, apply brown.

Move the pen back and forth to thoroughly paint the surface of the bread.

Leave the inside as an undercoat, as it will be painted during the finishing stage.

Apply ochre between the light yellow and brown.

Apply dark brown to the bottom and the left side of the middle block.

This is the layer composition. Layers are arranged so that lighter colors are at the bottom.

5. Add Details

Add details to refine the shape.

Paint the inside of the bread.

Move the pen horizontally.

I want to create a difference in texture from the surface, so I won't overpaint it, leaving some white.

This is the layer composition.

I wanted to create the impression of torn bread, so I used a layer mask to erase some parts.

Also add details to the surface.

After drawing with a real pencil, I sometimes erase parts with a layer mask to refine it.

Place the detail layers below the initially created layers.

When erasing with a layer mask, I selected transparent color with a chalk brush.

By selecting transparent color, you can erase with any brush shape you like.

Smooth out the color gradient on the surface a bit more and add highlights.

6. Completion

Set the background to white, draw the background with a real pencil, and it's complete!

This concludes this making-of.

Thank you for reading this far!
