A way into the drawing

  1. Shape the wedge

    Draw a broad triangular face with a curved base. Add a narrow side plane to show thickness.

  2. Follow the rind curve

    Draw two simple curves parallel to the base. Keep the rind thickness consistent.

  3. Place a few seeds

    Add a few separated teardrop seeds and broad rind markings. Use small gray on the narrow side and beneath the rind, keeping the fruit face open.

A small thing to tryPoint the seed tips loosely toward the wedge’s center rather than scattering them randomly.
