There’s something satisfying about making a series of drawings, or any form of art really.

Over the past three weeks I’ve drawn this onion three times. All have been drawn using colour pencils and some with watercolour pencil.

My first one I felt was rather too solid. It looked like it had a hard shell, not papery skin.

I tried again the following week with a different angle and a better outcome. I also thought that the placement of the saucer was stronger.

The latest version I drew using both watercolour and standard coloured pencils. I feel that the watercolour pencil gave more translucency to the skin than I achieved previously.

It has recently been mentioned to me that the onion now needs to be returned to the pantry for eating.
