A way into the drawing

  1. Start with the main forms

    Arrange a compact group of overlapping circles that tapers downward.

  2. Build the overlaps

    Connect the top fruits to a short forked stem and a simple leaf.

  3. Choose the finishing details

    Add a few small gray gaps between grapes, leaving the fruit surfaces bare.

A small thing to tryDraw the front grape contours first and stop hidden outlines at each overlap.
