How to Draw a Lemon
In this drawing lesson you will learn how to draw a lemon. This tutorial will be very useful for you!
I have prepared an interesting drawing lesson for you to tell you how to draw a lemon in just nine easy steps. Lemon is a yellow citrus fruit. Lemons taste sour. The juice, zest, and pulp are often used in cooking, often on fish and other meat for better taste. Lemon is also used to flavor drinks, such as lemonade or soft drinks. Also, lemons are very good for human health, because they contain a lot of vitamins necessary for us.
The lemon fruit is oval with a broad, low, apical nipple and forms 8 to 10 segments. The outer rind, or peel, yellow when ripe and rather thick in some varieties, is prominently dotted with oil glands. Did you know that not only the pulp of the lemon is useful, but also its peel? It is often added to various desserts.
You can use your lemon drawing skill in the future if you want to draw a still life or a lemon tree. Well, I invite you to start drawing this fruit right now!
