Draw a realistic Metallic Rose from scratch...

even if you've never drawn before

See how a few simple pastel strokes transform a flat rose into a metallic shine

Imagine if you could…

  • Draw a rose so beautiful and shiny with your own hands that your friends and family would say: "No way you did it yourself!"
  • Learn how to confidently achieve a hyper-realistic chromed effect (without experience or buying expensive materials)...
  • And finally feel proud of creating something you can show off or give away... even if you think you have no talent for it

You’re probably thinking, “But drawing something like that is too difficult for me!”

Well, I actually have good news because…

Drawing metallic colors is very doable... even for total beginners

There is ONE element that makes or breaks your end result —especially with this kind of artwork:

Learn how to see and organize the light.

Sounds technical but it’s actually surprisingly simple.

It’s just about mapping where to place the darks, mid-tones and highlights BEFORE you start layering color.

Because that’s what creates the illusion of chrome.

Of course, knowing how to mix colors matters.

But defining the appropriate “light map” first makes your result look dimensional, clean and realistic.

That’s the key to achieving this unique drawing style.

And yes — even on your first try you can achieve something that looks shockingly real…

Especially because I will be by your side, supporting you.

Let me introduce myself…

Hi, I’m Marcelo, and I’ve been drawing for over 10 years.

I grew up in Lima, Peru, and I started drawing on my own, with no art classes or YouTube tutorials.

One day, a friend introduced me to pastels, and since then my view of art changed forever. I have drawn portraits and pets, but I love the metallic effect.
It’s so nice and different!

I started purely for pleasure, and eventually managed to earn some money selling my drawings.

For the last 5 years I’ve been teaching other people to enjoy drawing in person. And now, I’ve finally created a way to share it with more people.

Introducing…

For the first time, I am opening this course where I will guide you step by step to draw a realistic metallic rose.

Here is what you’ll find inside:

MODULE #1

Understanding Metallic Effect & What You Need To Achieve It

Know the real secret to easily achieving a realistic metallic effect, even if you have zero experience and the exact materials you need. You will learn:

  • How metallic shine is an illusion of contrast, and why instantly give your art that professional glow
  • The rule of thumb to make warm and cool tones interact to create the illusion of depth
  • What exact paper, pencils and dry pastels you need, and where to find them

MODULE #1

Understanding Metallic Effect & What You Need To Achieve It

Know the real secret to easily achieving a realistic metallic effect, even if you have zero experience and the exact materials you need.

You will learn:

  • How metallic shine is an illusion of contrast, and why instantly give your art that professional glow
  • The rule of thumb to make warm and cool tones interact to create the illusion of depth
  • What exact paper, pencils and dry pastels you need, and where to find them

MODULE #2

The Guided Sketch

Set the perfect foundation by transferring the rose sketch onto paper (you don’t need any drawing skills!). Inside:

  • How to transfer your rose template into the drawing paper with the right pressure... so the petal lines stay crisp and don't leave grooves that block color layers later
  • The exact position at which you should place the paper before drawing (this sneaky tweak in the angle affects how light reflects on pastels, making metallic colors alive)
  • Where is the best place to start drawing the base colors

MODULE #3

Base Layers — Building the first colors

Master how light, color and contrast work together to create the real metallic effect, and lay down the first cool tones that set the stage for shine.

You’ll learn:

  • A secret "light-mapping" trick artists use to spot where metallic reflections naturally fall, that makes your rose give off an organic glow
  • How to build your first color layer with soft blues and violets over beige paper (this sets a neutral midtone that makes metallics come alive later)
  • The gentle blending move (using a ear stick) that keeps your tones velvety smooth, so the base feels brushed-on, not dusty
  • The "icing cake" layering process that builds natural depth... so your petals start curving off the page

MODULE #4

Creating the Metallic Volume

Turn contrast into brilliance. Blend warm and cool tones to create metallic depth and make your rose shimmer like polished glass.

You’ll learn:

  • How to use mid-tones (lilac, light blue and soft gold) to weave all layers together and give the rose its natural sense of 3D movement
  • The "color temperature contrast" secret to create that "How is this pastel??" reaction
  • The micro-blending move that keeps metallic edges sharp while the rest stays soft and polished
  • How to apply the "color echo" trick to repeat small hints of one hue in another, so your reflections look organic and fluid

MODULE #5

Refining the Rose & Final Glow

It’s time to define edges, refine contrasts and guide the light that makes the rose shine even when framed.

You’ll learn:

  • How to add the final little touches to simulate direct light... so your rose will feel sculpted, not drawn
  • The step you should never skip to ensure your final rose doesn't lose its shine after drawing it
  • How to preserve and display your artwork so it looks the same as the first day... for YEARS!
