Two more sketches today from my catalogue of garden vegetables. 

Firstly, what will probably be the last tomato from our garden this season. It’s what we think is an Italian Long Orange Sweet tomato – sadly the person who gave us the seed got the names mixed up, so we’ve had to make an educated guess about it’s real name.

My latest sketch is of this red onion. I forgot to tell my partner I was saving it  for sketching,  so he bought it inside and tore off the leaves that I had deliberately left on to make a contrast to the colour of the onion’s skin. Nobody’s fault but my own.

I think I’ll have another go at the onion. I found it hard to get the shape as accurate as I wanted and I also struggled to capture the paper-iness of the skin.
