I love this! You are really on to something with these pencils. The apple shines just like the waxed ones in the stores! Beautifully done!

It's very crisp and the "striations" on the apple's skin are awesome!

I do like this - it seems to me to be rather different from the way apples are usually sketched and so has an exta appeal!

Nicely done Deb! Love the smudginess and the "spots" of wet graphite.

I've never used water soluble graphite pencils before... must be interesting to blend the colors with water.
The level of realism in the drawing is fantabulous!

Amazing results! I really like the WS graphite with the colored pencil! It looks very painterly!
