Apple fine ink study

One apple in three-quarter view, slightly uneven rounded contour, recessed top, short stem and one leaf. Practice clear contours and a few local shadows in fine ink.

A way into the drawing

1. Establish the main shapes

   Establish the rounded body and shallow top hollow.

2. Connect the structure

   Join the stem and leaf to the recessed top.

3. Develop the drawing

   Refine the clear outer contour, add only the most useful interior details and place a few small local shadows. Leave most of the paper open.

A small thing to tryUse the top hollow to explain the stem attachment.
