Drawing Steps
Steps Details
1
Begin with partial sections. Use a pencil to outline the earring’s metal parts based on perspective principles,
ensuring clear structural definition and characteristic form.
2 Sketch the contour of the earring pendant with loose, natural-flowing lines.
3 Add another earring at a different angle beside the first one to showcase design features from multiple
perspectives, enhancing the composition.
4 Add details, refine line art, polish local shapes, and erase redundant lines to maintain cleanliness.
5 Lighten the pencil sketch with a soft eraser to prevent smudging during coloring. Mix yellow ochre and flesh tone
to apply a base layer to the metal parts, suggesting basic light-dark relationships.
6 Blend burnt umber and burnt sienna. Use a small watercolor brush to paint metallic shadows, intensifying contrast
and three-dimensionality.
7
Wet the gemstone area. Mix rose madder and violet to apply the amethyst’s base layer. Once slightly dry, add
sapphire blue to define shadows and enhance chromatic complexity, emphasizing faceted effects.
8 Paint the earring’s cast shadow. Highlight reflections and sparkle with white pigment. Adjust and finalize the
artwork to complete.
Earring Design Practicing
Key Points for Drawing
In drawing key points, gem colors should blend smoothly, metallic texture is shown through
gradients and highlights, and earring composition should consider display characteristics from
various angles.
Summary of Techniques
 Gemstone volume is expressed through color depth, highlights, and faceting depiction.
 Watercolor blending and diffusion occur naturally on paper, requiring practice and
familiarity with tools and moisture control.
 Keep paintings clean by placing tissues under your hand or washing hands to prevent
sweat from dirtying the paper.

Size Specifications
Ring Design Practicing
Drawing Steps
Steps Details
1
Begin with partial sections. Lightly outline the main gemstone’s general contour
of the ring with loose, casual lines.
2
Sketch the ring band’s contour with a pencil based on perspective principles,
maintaining natural line flow.
3
Lightly outline internal structures like the gemstone’s light-dark boundary line
with a pencil.
4
Add details, refine line art, polish local shapes. Erase redundant lines and soften
pencil guidelines with a soft eraser to prevent coloring smudges.
5 Wet the garnet area on the ring’s main section. Mix vermilion with violet to
paint the gemstone’s base color, reserving highlight areas.
6
Blend rose madder, cerulean blue, and violet to deepen the gemstone’s
shadows, ensuring natural color transitions.
7
Dilute rose madder with water to apply the ruby’s base layer on the ring band.
Use lemon yellow for a faint base layer on metal parts, leaving intentional gaps
for breathability.
8 Mix burnt umber and vermilion. Use a small watercolor brush to define the ring
band’s shadows and refine metal details.
9 Blend rose madder and violet to refine the ruby’s shadows.
10
Deepen metal shadows with raw umber. Paint the ring’s cast shadow with
Payne’s grey. Adjust and complete the artwork.
Ring Design Practicing
Key Points for Drawing
 Pay attention to the representation of the gem's transparency.
 Small gems on the ring should be distinguished.
Summary of Techniques
 Gemstone volume is expressed through variations in color depth and the depiction of
highlights and reflections.
 Unify the picture's color tone by limiting the palette to avoid chaos and maintaining a
consistent main tonal feeling.
 Accurately grasp jewelry's external characteristics by observing perspective
relationships, determining design style and features, and refining from the outer
contour to the internal structure.

Steps Details
1 Begin with partial sections. Lightly sketch the butterfly brooch’s head and abdomen contours with loose, casual lines
as reference.
2 Based on overall proportions, outline the brooch’s antennae and tail with natural, flowing pencil lines.
3 Draw the wings’ outer contour with relaxed curved lines.
4 Define the wings’ internal structures with a pencil.
5
Mark gemstone positions and shapes using simplified circles. Adjust local shapes and erase redundant lines for
cleanliness.
6
Coat the metal parts with water. Use a medium watercolor brush to apply the first wash with yellow ochre diluted in
ample water.
7 Paint metallic shadows with burnt umber, keeping coverage minimal.
8 Blend rose madder and violet for the colored diamonds’ first layer, keeping colors light.
9 Reinforce colored diamonds with saturated rose madder and violet mixtures for deeper tones.
10 Apply emerald green to antennae gemstones. Deepen metal shadows with burnt umber, enhancing color depth.
11
Refine antennae gemstones with emerald green and Payne’s grey. Detail wing gemstones with violet and sapphire
blue. Highlight with white.
12 Paint the brooch’s cast shadow with Payne’s grey. Adjust and finalize the artwork to complete.
Brooch Design Practicing
Key Points for Drawing
 Dark areas are generally depicted using deeper shades of the same color system.
 The dark side, bright side, and highlight parts of the gemstone should be distinguished to
emphasize the sense of volume.
 Due to the light source factors, the butterfly brooch will have variations in color brightness.
Summary of Techniques
 The volume of metal parts is expressed through dark color layering and reflective area
embellishment, leveraging the smooth and reflective surface of the metal.
 Handle picture details by orderly arranging gemstones on the butterfly brooch and using
light and dark contrast to highlight the luster and texture of crystals and diamonds.

Adjust and finalize the artwork to complete.
Bracelet Design Practicing
Key Points for Drawing
Capture the layering in circular stacked bracelets, express ambient color and strong reflections
in metal beads to enhance spatial sense, and unify the light source direction while carefully
distributing highlights.
Summary of Techniques
 The volume of pink crystal beads is expressed through variations in color depth, highlights,
and reflections.
 Match metal colors by adding reflective colors to refine and express the reflective
characteristics of the metal.
 Unify the picture’s color tone by determining the main tone through color block size and
limiting the number of colors to avoid chaos.
