Darling Clementine

It's that time of year when the Clementines arrive from Spain. These have to be the most delicious little oranges--sweet, seedless, juicy, and easy to peel. I began this sketch by laying in lines to follow the form but that didn't work at all so I went with a broad sweeping sideways pencil and a bit of pickup with my putty eraser. The Stonehenge paper seems to work in helping to bring on the orange's textured surface.
