6. Limes are often cut into wedges for squeezing into drinks or over food. Let's draw one. Extend a straight line from the existing lime. Then draw a curved line from one end of it to the other. Draw another curved line from the side of the first fruit to the bottom of the wedge, giving it a three-dimensional appearance.
