This apple has unhandled extraordinary vertices for its subdivision rules.
Ugly apple – pencil, charcoal, graphite, oil, and smudge #AdobeFresco
Even though shaped with
unusual subdivision,
still fresh and tasty.Happy new year! 新年快樂! pic.twitter.com/zaGinIAgYu

Drawing is one of the few activities that can soothe me into a zone/flow, like hours before a SIGGRAPH deadline (before year 2011, the start of my diminishing marginal return).
I drew this from referencing a magazine photo.
I did not know what I exactly wanted to do in the beginning and simply let the iterative process guide me.
After experimenting with various brush types (oil, watercolor, charcoal, etc.), I realized that the best way to depict the fluffy cloud texture is smudge over the (black and white) strokes placed by whatever brush types.
I was intrigued by the muscular appearance of these two pears (half already eaten), and decided to depict this impression with broad oil brushes, which felt satisfying but also reminded me to try physical oil painting.
