In order to draw a pomegranate, it is necessary to imagine the structure of this fruit, depict many grains inside it and select the most illuminated and shaded parts on the surface of the fruit.
Instructions
Step 1
Begin your drawing by constructing an auxiliary geometric shape. Draw a circle. On one side of it, highlight the calyx with two lines, which remains after the formation of the fetus. Its edges resemble tapering leathery petals.
Step 2
Draw bumps on the surface of the pomegranate, since there are no perfectly round fruits.
Step 3
Draw a notch or rift on the surface of the pomegranate. Divide the insides into chambers in which the seeds grow. Inside, depict fleshy flesh and films that separate some seeds from others. One fruit can contain from six to twelve such chambers. Alternatively, you can paint scattered grains on the table surface.
Step 4
Draw the seeds. They are egg-shaped, with a small oblong bone inside each. It is located in the narrow part of each seed, where it is attached to the inedible pulp.
Step 5
Start coloring the picture. The peel of the fruit is pink-red in color, but there are yellow-orange pomegranates, and some fruits acquire a brown-red hue. In addition, darkening may be noticeable on the surface of the outer skin; in old fruits, it loses its pigment and becomes grayish-yellow. Be sure to highlight areas of light and shadow on the peel so that the fruit doesn't look flat.
Step 6
Highlight the milky white or very light yellowish film between the chambers and the inedible part of the fruit. Draw a gentle transition from the bright color of the rind to the color of the insides where the fruit breaks.
Step 7
Color the pomegranate seeds. They have a bright ruby color, unripe seeds are paler, sometimes pink or even whitish. The white bone inside practically does not shine through behind the bright pulp, its outlines are visible only in direct light. Draw a highlight on each grain, highlight the borders between them with a darker one.
