1. Begin the apricot outline by drawing a heart shape with a rounded point. Then, draw a curved line along one side, dividing the cut flesh from the skin of the fruit.
Drawing Step 2
2. Draw the seed-containing pit of the apricot. Use two curved lines to enclose the double-pointed shape. Texture the seed with curved lines along one side.
Fun fact: The seeds of some apricot varieties are edible, similar to the almond. But the seed must be roasted first; the raw seeds are poisonous.
