Orange fine ink study

One orange with a small peeled flap at the top exposing two broad segments; otherwise a complete round fruit. Practice structure, perspective and developed values in fine ink.

A way into the drawing

1. Establish the main shapes

   Place the round fruit and curved peel flap.

2. Connect the structure

   Separate the exposed segments from the thicker peel edge.

3. Develop the drawing

   Resolve the connected planes and overlaps, then build layered details and a full range of local values. Preserve clear paper highlights.

A small thing to tryKeep the peel thickness visible at the lifted flap.
