Hi Nancy, What an interesting subject! Great colors! It’s difficult to keep a spheric shape with all that is going on there. But you have done it! Congrats. What I’d like to see now is more careful observation of what constitutes the texture and shape in contrast to coloration. Were there lobes in the melon? Did the melon have a texture? What I’d like to see
I like your writing, Nancy. Reminds me of hand lettering from California’s Arts/Crafts Movement’s borrowing from Art Nouveau.

Sam, I got an email reply from Nancy saying that lettering is from her days in architecture school. 🙂 What a cool melon! What does it look like on the inside???

The fruit is smooth, but the variegated color is where I guess I turned it into lobes! Glad you thought it looks spherical! Thank you.

Cooool!!! I like seeing that little bit of the striped skin along the edge!
Yes, you should draw some thick slices!
Drawing the seeds will be a fun challenge, too1
OK I posted some slices…:)
