Today I’m sharing an apple drawing I did using the stipple technique with pen-and-ink. I used hundreds of tiny dots of ink to portray this red delicious apple.
Most of the time when I’m working on a final version of a drawing, I work on it from start to finish. However, when I’m doing a stipple drawing, I often take breaks. Sometimes I go back to it the next day. You have to concentrate on not overlapping dots in most of the drawing. If you’re too hyper or too tired, you will mess up. I was happy how this drawing turned out after working on it for a couple of days.
To go with the drawing, I’m sharing a photograph I took of a red delicious apple. For this portrait, I used the Food setting on my Samsung Galaxy phone. I like how it blurred the background. It reminded me I should experiment more with other settings on my phone.
I’m also sharing a picture of a cat in an apple tree. She was my pet decades ago and I always liked this picture of her.

I love this! You are just wildly creative and I love when you share your work. I’m working on a brand new art piece today and I’m inspired by the permission you give yourself to step away and come back to it later.
Thanks, Bonnie Rae! I step away to refresh my creativity and, sometimes, because I’m a professional procrastinator. 😉
cool result! 🍎🍏👏

Yes, you SHOULD be happy with the way the apple turned out. Lots of patience, but I bet when you are in the mood, it is extremely relaxing.
