'Apple of My Eye'

Produced May 2020

Hopefully, you can see this is an apple. I don't usually like drawing inanimate objects, but it's good to try new things! I also wanted a small subject matter to test out some blending stumps, which are basically sticks of tightly rolled up soft paper with two pointed ends. So really, this piece was a bit of an experiment. Overall, I think the blending stumps worked well - they blend the pencil out quite far, and you get a lot more control with them than you would with a tissue. I'm looking forward to using them for a portrait!
