Just a tomato

I was entranced by the shapes of the slowly drying vine and sepals on this tomato :) Untypically, I followed my impulse to sketch it ๐Ÿ˜Š๏ธ

I hesitated between a simple linework and adding colour, so I thought I’d do the latter but document the former in case the colouring went awry ๐Ÿ˜๏ธ. Also, the tomato itself, before it was gone :)

You can see on the following pictures that it took 3 sessions and several months to complete ๐Ÿ˜…๏ธ, but ended up rather close to what I had in mind, I’m happy to report ๐Ÿ˜Š๏ธ.

Still always like linework without frills, just dark ink on white paper. What do you think?

I could not find a good graphic solution for the shadows of the sepals, which thus kind of look like more sepalsโ€ฆ Maybe next time ;) That was part of what decided me to indeed add colour โ€“ as a crutch ๐Ÿ˜๏ธ. Not sure it worked that well in this respect though ๐Ÿ˜…๏ธ
