This one is in graphite. I recalled Jennifer saying that she was taking on a Monthly Sketch project - the evolution of the Virtual Sketch project that I was part of. I had a look and what was there? Apples! So of course I had to give it a go.
I started the drawing at work one lunch time then finished it off at home. So its on basic copy paper. That in itself becomes a trial, as there is little tooth to the paper and while I want to go darker on it, the paper won't allow it, so here it is.
This piece is about 4 x 5 inches and obviously my rectangle is a little skewed and so the scan was too. I enjoyed drawing this and its made me want to tackle a larger project in graphite. However, there are a few other things outstanding before can think about that.

Fan-tastic Jeanette. I think graphite was my first love - and this drawing reminds me of that.
Thanks Gary. Yes, I adore graphite and it is my comfort zone. I have to do more in graphite now. This has triggered it.
The apples are working for you Jeanette - I've liked everyone. We are going to get a Jeanette's apples gallery right?
I always return to graphite after forays into colour. Lovely apples Jeanette especially the one on the right.
Jeannette these look great. Love seeing your graphite work :)
I love these-but then I have enjoyed your entire Apples series.
These are so nice. Just goes to show you that all you need to make art is a pencil and some paper.
Rose, if I knew how to create a gallery, I would. I wanted to some something similar for the final post with all the apples people have done. I'll have to look into how to do it.
Thanks Gayle. Graphite is my true comfort.
Thanks Sheona
Glad you've enjoyed them Threadspider.
You're right Jan, its really that simple.
Hi, Jeanette.
Big Huge Labs (Flickr) has some 'toys' for creating photo mosaics...for all the wonderful apples!
I have enjoyed all of your apple drawings.
Thanks for the tip Leslie, I'll check it out.
Nice graphite work! Congratulations!
Your graphite apples are so well drawn. Beautiful work! It has been such a privilege to take part in this apple project with everyone here this month.
Oh my, I can actually "see" them in color! FANtastic!
