But if you're a rubbish poet like Kanye or Waka Flocka Flame, you'd just rhyme Orange with the word Orange and call it a day.

I'm sure there are things that rhyme with orange. It was just a stupid title for a stupid drawing.

I think it's a pretty good drawing. It musn't be easy to replicate the look of orange skin, but you did a good job!

Orange skin is probably one of the hardest things I've ever had to draw. I think my main interest in learning to bitmap is to get a handle on creating such effects. You can't really do such things in a vector artworking program (well, you can, but it's kinda more work than it needs to be).

Ideally I wan to get my vector artwork to work alongside bitmap work and produce something that makes the best of both approaches - the rigidity and preciseness of vectors - and the softness and subtlety of bitmaps.

very enchanting pics :3

O-range. My-fringe. I think you might be able to force a rhyme with something like that.

Thanks! I'm still learning how to bitmap, really. I've been working at it for years so I'm happy to be finally getting some kind of handle on it.

quite welcome ;3

This one isn't nearly as good as the ladybug. With this one I can actually see that it's not real without having to inspect it forensically.
Still impressively realistic, though!

This one is more significant for what I learned from it - I had to make a whole new set of brushes in order to replicate anything that looked like the pockmarked skin of an orange.

It was actually more challenging to draw this stupid-looking orange than it was to draw the intimidating-looking skull. Which is kinda funny, really.

Stupid? Not at all!
The thumbnail version looks like a photo, only the full res version looks like artwork, and even then it still looks really good.

Umm... Door hinge?

Yeah. Maybe.

Blancmange? Duck a l'orange?

That right there is a fine fine fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine piece of citrus.

Amazing.

Door... hinge?
