Artist's Comments
Done using 2B and 4B pencils (:
I lost count of how many hours I spent on this, but the watermelon itself took me 2 hours. |

 reports, 1d 7h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |

You get better at your drawing/painting skills with every piece of work you finish and display here. I'm mightily impressed. The shading is beautiful and the watermelon seeds make this very real. And mouth-watering.

It's not about what I have seen, it's about what I wanted to see.
As of right now though, all of the values used are generally the same. If you squint your eyes and look at the piece, you'll see that the values mix together and nothing "pops" from the piece (mind you, I'm going from the scan since I've never seen the original drawing) Even looking at the work without squinting, there are no true blacks and true whites. As so, there is no defined light source. (as it is drawn here) Now, there is a hint on one coming from the right side but not all the fruit abide by that light source. (give or take, only one watermelon piece does.)
This is a great start, just adding darker and lighter shades wil push it even more.
But as I said before, the watermelon is wonderfully rendered. It makes me want to jump into the work and EAT it, and I really really hate watermelon.
You've improved on your pencil skills with each piece submitted in your gallery. Keep it up! It's so worth it. < 3
What are all the fruits drawn here?

Eternity means nothing but a sign on a bridge.
"But I believe in peace.
I believe in peace Bitch."
(4 slices) of watermelon, (1 whole + 2 slices) of starfruit and (1 bunch) of bananas.
If you want to view the original picture --> [link] It's taken using my handphone, so quality may not be so good.
The thinner watermelon slices (except for the bigger one) and the starfruits are all in a shadow. Hence, it's only the Banana and the single slice of watermelon that defines the light source. So yes, I could have done more shading on the Bananas (:
Still trying to improve on my drawing skills, because this is actually the 3rd realistic drawing I've completed. (:
