Fig study

Practice drawing fig with clear contours and a few selected details. Lean a cut half against it and mark the curved inner boundary. Add a few sparse seed marks and a small shadow where the halves meet.

A way into the drawing

1. Start with the main forms

   Draw a rounded pear shape with a short narrow stem.

2. Build the overlaps

   Lean a cut half against it and mark the curved inner boundary.

3. Choose the finishing details

   Add a few sparse seed marks and a small shadow where the halves meet.

A small thing to tryKeep most of the cut face open; the inner boundary does more work than extra seeds.
