Explanation

Following the community guidelines, I'm excited to share with you the process of creating a vibrant drawing of the kiwano fruit. Let’s dive right in!

To start, I gathered my essential tools: a pencil, an eraser, and a gel pen. With these in hand, I began by lightly sketching the outline of the kiwano fruit on a crisp white sheet of paper. My fruit is depicted as a half-cut piece, accompanied by two delicate leaves.

---

Once the initial sketch was complete, I carefully traced over it with the gel pen, adding definition and depth to the drawing.

---

Now came the exciting part -coloring. I began with the leaves, using a light green shade to gently highlight the veins, and then added a darker green along the edges to create a natural gradient. The remaining white spaces on the leaves were filled with a soft green, giving them a fresh, lifelike appearance.

---

With the leaves finished, I turned my attention to the fruit itself. I used a light green to color the area around the seeds, carefully avoiding the seeds themselves. Once the green was in place, I filled the seeds with a vibrant yellow, making them pop against the green backdrop.

---

Next, I focused on the border of the fruit's cut edge. I chose a light, biscuit-like color to create a subtle contrast, and then highlighted this with a soft yellow along the inner edge. To make the fruit's outer layer more striking, I used a bold red, accentuating the thorny texture of the kiwano.

---

For the remaining parts of the fruit, I mixed orange and brown to create a warm, earthy hue, blending it smoothly into the surrounding area. I added a touch of orange along the sides, and for the final touch, I filled the last white spaces with a rich yellow.

The result is a vibrant, lifelike drawing that captures the exotic beauty of the kiwano fruit. After completing the artwork, I took a few photos to document the process, and finally, I snapped a selfie with the finished piece, proudly showcasing my creation.
