        Thank you Doug for all the suggestions. It’s always said that when trying to learn something it’s good to try explaining to someone else. I was going off memory of what I saw Wendy do, hence the similarity, but it’s a good case in point that sometimes I don’t remember quite right what I saw.

It ended up making it really easy to see the movement of the squash.

Most of the drawing I’ve done in the past has been in graphite, so this part doesn’t seem to unfamiliar. I’m still having trouble making the jump to thinking about colour. Is it okay to go so dark if I were to add colour ontop, or is the graiselle stage meant to be more subtle?

Pushing both the highlight and shadow did help with the form. The colours are a little off in this one because I tried photographing it instead of scanning, but it still has the nice soft feel in real life.
