Strawberry fine ink study

Two whole strawberries, one upright and one tilted, with leaf crowns and sparse selected seed marks. Practice form, overlap and selective shading 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

   Use selective interior marks and local shadow groups to explain the overlaps. Keep the lighter planes open rather than shading every surface.

A small thing to tryKeep the seeds subordinate to the overall berry form.
