Tomato

Instrument: Sakura Pigma Micron Pen
Material: Strathmore Bristol Smooth

I am feeling under the weather today so I will make an early post in case I fall asleep early.  Not only am I sick, the weather is also terrible.  I was going to go ice skating with a few friends today, and I was hoping to get some good pictures.  Maybe another day.

This piece is part of a 4 parts series done for my Pen & Ink class.  Over the next few weeks, I will post the rest of the series.  As I have mentioned in my previous post, pointillism is my favorite technique.  In pen and ink, stippling is a technique that is kind of similar to pointillism.  It is very time consuming when you use dots to add value to a surface.  But this technique gives the artist a greater control over the application value.

The subject of this piece is a tomato.  I did not have a reference when I drew this, so I really hope it looks like a tomato.
