Color Your Papaya Drawing

Papaya step-by-step drawing tutorial: step 11

Color your cartoon papaya. The skin of the papaya is typically green or yellow - or a combination of both. The inner flesh is red, orange, or pink. The color "salmon" from your box of crayons or pack of colored pencils will be a good match. The tiny seeds are jet black in color.
