The Crystal Ball is a painting by John William Waterhouse completed in 1902.[1] Waterhouse displayed both it and The Missal in the Royal Academy of 1902. The painting shows the influence of the Italian Renaissance with vertical and horizontal lines, along with circles "rather than the pointed arches of the Gothic".[2]
Part of a private collection,[3] the painting has been restored to show the skull which had been covered by a previous owner.[1]

Hello my friends and welcome to another Tuesday of tutorial! I am Leonardo Pereznieto and I'm so glad to see you! Today we'll draw a crystal ball. If you want a perfectly circular shape you may use a glass, or something like that. With a charcoal pencil we do the darkest tones. And we smudge them with a brush. This brush had some charcoal on it already, so we can use it for toning. With a kneaded eraser we clean up what went off the sphere. And we can also pull some reflexions. I'm very sorry, I didn't press the button and I didn't record those reflexions, but don't worry, I'll do some more. For the most intense whites we can use a pastel stick. And to have more control when applying the white, sometimes is better to use a pastel pencil. I love this! It looks great when you apply it on toned paper. We smudge with a stump and pull some more lights with the needed eraser. For the light shadows we use a hard graphite lead. In this case an H. The complete list of materials for this drawing is in the information below the video. We do the shadow and this include an intense light in the middle. With a softer graphite lead, in this case a 3B, we can reinforce some shadows. Let's also darken the cast shadow. Some more light... We tweak some last details and it's ready! Please let me know what do you think about it. If you enjoy it, please give it a LIKE and subscribe to my channel. You know where to follow me and where the links are. And I'll see you on Tuesday.
