Above is my entry for January’s Virtual Sketch Date.
Thankyou to Jeanette Jobson for the reference photo and for all the organising.
This one was just a quickie and was just pen on paper when i had a spare bit of time.
It’s one of the most hectic weeks of the year this week, my oldest son turned 5 and i am throwing him a big party as well as a few other family things go on so its pretty full on. I have fallen a bit behind already on my goals for sketching but i think as soon as i get all the party preparations out of my hair I will be back on track.
Anyway, again just want to say this is so fun to do ! I am so glad i did it even if it was only a quickie.


I love it! The expressive line work is terrific.
Nicely done!!!
Belinda, I love pen and ink sketches. This is lovely, nice hatching!
I like the loose feel of this. You’ve caught the shapes and solidity of the fruit very well.
Turned out nice.. The shadows are good..
Very nice sketch – great linework,
Lovely expressive sketch.
Really nice for a quicky. Nice and loose. Sometimes I wish I could do loose. Happy Birthday to the 5 yr old.
Lots of nice movement there Belinda…
I like especially the sense of movement and rythms of your lines.
Great rendition Belinda, quick but you definitely captured your subject. I love the shadows.
Well done.
Your lies have plenty of energy and movement, Belinda.
I like the freedom you have to draw and express sensations!
Congratulations!
well done!
Thanks so much everyone !
I like the drawing qualities, the lines capture the clementine in a simple expressive way.
Love the very expressive line work in your drawing.

Belinda, I like your sketch. Your pen marks give the drawing an energy that the reference didn’t have. That energy is a wonderful addition.
Good luck with the party!
