Cucumber study

Practice drawing cucumber with clear contours and a few selected details. Overlap two oval slices at the front and mark their rind bands. Add a few seeds and two loose lengthwise skin lines.

A way into the drawing

1. Start with the main forms

   Draw a long rounded shape with a slight taper at each end.

2. Build the overlaps

   Overlap two oval slices at the front and mark their rind bands.

3. Choose the finishing details

   Add a few seeds and two loose lengthwise skin lines.

A small thing to tryTurn the slice faces into ovals that agree with the cucumber angle.
