C #04: Red Heart with Zig Zag on Grapefruit 11/30

I tried doing the very same thing as the gray-shaded heart (not minutes after finishing it), but ran into trouble as I was doing so. First off, the gray heart was with an 8-point round needle, and turned out pretty nice, considering the lines you can see from the bit. This red heart, I used a 7-point flat. The flat configuration really wasn't good for an organic shape (especially not one of this size). Plus, the color didn't work well on the grapefruit. So I tried putting some red with some black and got this. It's not horrible, but not even close to what I had envisioned.

Very good learning experience. Flats are good for larger areas. Don't use them on small, curvy areas. Yet at the same time, rounds are good for shading, so long as you dilute the ink so the strokes don't show up so much.
