Beginner-friendly tutorials are a great place to start, but what really makes a drawing intermediate or advanced? In this video, I explore that question by working on a slightly more challenging subject: a cupcake.

At first glance it looks simple, but the icing presents a tricky problem — it’s white. To capture it realistically, you need to look past what you think you see and focus on the subtle colours and values that are actually there.

This tutorial breaks down the extra considerations and techniques you’ll need as you move beyond beginner drawings, helping you build confidence with more advanced subjects.
