Detailed observation project – stipples and dots

For this exercise I chose to draw a satsuma with part of its skin peeled. I used a drawing brush pen in black.

This is the first time I have drawn an object almost completely using stipples and dots. I tried to capture a sense of tone and texture by varying the density and size of the dots. I am pleased with the result and I think it looks quite striking for a first attempt. If attempted a second time I would try and improve the area where the peel is missing to give more detail and definition.
