Instructions
- Start drawing the orange on your paper by drawing a sphere shape with pencil.
- Draw in a star shape on the top of the sphere. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Do a little shading on the star. Draw a stem with a circle and shade on the shadow side of the stem.
- There are “valleys” that come out from the stem on the surface of the fruit. Draw lines out from the star at each point, blend them a bit, add a bit more line over the top.
- An orange or clementine have small dips in the skin. You can turn your pencil slightly on the side and draw little dots to represent these dips.
- Add more shading and shadow. Add more dips and do a bit more blending. Just keep adding a bit more and a bit more until you are happy with the look.
- Be patient with yourself as you learn and practice!!
