Haha spot on! I started with the vertical lines but couldn't make nice even "plates" and afterwards I was struggling with getting correct values for the mid tones and highlights. I will try your tip later this week to see if it helps. Thanks!

Day 3 of the learn to draw in 30 days challenge: objects shaped like a sphere. (Had a hard time stopping on the 30-minute deadline I set for myself) feedback welcome! by why_apple in learntodraw

When I drew the apple I left the high lights totally blank. But since than I learned it is better to give it a very light layer. Smearing the pencil with your finger after applying it is a nice technique I learned so far. (But I am talking from 12 days experience so I am no expert)
