Scene of the Crime

Sketch the basic shapes and perspective lines of the room and objects.

Block in the large areas of color: the floor, walls, curtain, and chair.

Add the details of the floorboards, using thin lines and varying the spacing to create depth.

Render the chair, paying attention to the highlights and shadows to create a sense of volume.

Paint the curtain, using subtle variations in green to suggest folds and texture.

Add the grass outside the window, using short, broken strokes of green.

Create the brown rectangle on the floor and the red splatter in the corner.

Refine the details and adjust the values to create a cohesive composition.
