Plum study

Practice drawing plum with clear contours and a few selected details. Place a cut half beside it with an oval stone in the center. Add the short stem, leaf and small gray accents beneath the stone and overlap.

A way into the drawing

1. Start with the main forms

   Sketch a round whole fruit and a shallow curved seam.

2. Build the overlaps

   Place a cut half beside it with an oval stone in the center.

3. Choose the finishing details

   Add the short stem, leaf and small gray accents beneath the stone and overlap.

A small thing to tryCurve the seam around the fruit so it suggests volume without full shading.
