EDM #152 - Draw a Nut


Wow, walnuts are amazingly complicated. I love rendering form, so I enjoyed trying to capture the shape of the walnut half. Mechanical pencil on 9" x 12" Strathmore 400 Series Sketch Pad paper.

  1. Hats off to you for taking on a walnut. Such a small little thing and easy to place however you want it and just a little shadow here and there......BUT definitely NOT as easy as it seems and you did a great job!
