A banana with three loose peel flaps

Practice a curved banana with three peel flaps hanging below it. Selected fold lines and small overlap shadows make the open peel readable.

A way into the drawing

1. Curve the exposed fruit

   Draw a gently curved banana with a rounded tip. Mark the lower point where the peel opens.

2. Hang the three peel flaps

   Sweep three broad flaps down from the same junction. Let the front flap overlap the stem and turn the side flaps outward.

3. Clarify the folds

   Use one simple inner edge on each flap and a little gray inside the folds. Leave the fruit’s broad surface unmarked.

A small thing to tryKeep all the peel flaps connected to one opening so they belong to the same fruit.
