Bell Peppers!

I recently did an assignment for one of my design classes where I sketched and shaded bell peppers. It was interesting to study the different sections of the peppers, and I really enjoyed the assignment.

Great Images, you are quite the sketch artist here. :)

I did an exorcise like this in high school and then did an oil painting of my sketch which looks nothing like a bell pepper because I went for more of an abstract painting. anyway Have a great day!. :)
