Strawberry fine ink study

Two whole strawberries, one upright and one tilted, with leaf crowns and sparse selected seed marks. Practice structure, perspective and developed values in fine ink.

A way into the drawing

1. Establish the main shapes

   Place two tapered berry shapes with one clear overlap.

2. Connect the structure

   Add the leaf crowns and a few surface-following seeds.

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 seeds subordinate to the overall berry form.
