Sketching some apples.

I spent a couple of hours this morning getting back into the groove after a lovely weekend celebrating the Jubilee (though the weather was pretty dire; cold and wet)

I used an 8b pencil which was an experiment, and I like the dark darks I got with it, but it is harder to get smooth lines, and I found it easier to take out the lights with a rubber.  If I had had a bit more time, I think I could have got to grips with it a bit better.

Still, there's always another day!
