A peach with one curved leaf

Give a peach its character with an uneven round outline, a soft center crease, and one leaf. The study stays focused on contour and a small contact shadow.

A way into the drawing

1. Make an uneven round shape

   Draw a soft round outline with a small dip at the top. Avoid making both sides exactly equal.

2. Curve the peach crease

   Start the crease near the stalk and let it follow the rounded surface. Fade it before it reaches the lower edge.

3. Add the stalk and leaf

   Place a short stalk and one curved leaf with a few vein lines. A tiny accent at the stalk base and a small contact shadow are enough; leave the fruit surface open.

A small thing to tryKeep the crease lighter than the outside contour. A heavy line can make the peach look split in half.
