How to Draw Dragon Fruit

1. Begin the dragon fruit outline by drawing the scales that cover the outside of the fruit.

Use curved lines that meet at points to draw the scales. Notice that one of the scales is fully enclosed while the others are open at the bottom.

2. Draw more dragon fruit scales, using pairs of curved lines that meet at a point. Notice, too, that the scales are outlining the teardrop shape of the fruit.

3. Draw more dragon fruit scales, connecting the two sections. For each scale, use two curved lines that meet at flamelike points.

4. Fill in the center of the fruit with additional scales. For each scale, use a pair of curved lines that meet at points.

5. Begin drawing another piece of dragon fruit. Outline the bottom of the fruit using a curved line. On one side, enclose a scale using lines that meet at a point. Fill in scales on the original fruit as needed.

6. The second piece of fruit has been cut open to reveal what's inside. Indicate the cut side by drawing a large oval. Draw another dragon fruit scale on the side, using curved lines that meet at a point.

7. Draw another oval inside the original oval, distinguishing the flesh of the fruit from the rind. Draw more scales on both pieces of fruit, using pairs of curved lines that meet at points.

8. Shade a tiny oval on the surface of the cut fruit, showing the presence of seeds. Detail the scales of that fruit by banding them with curved lines.

9. Complete your dragon fruit outline by banding the scales of the original fruit with curved lines.

Color your cartoon dragon fruit. This exotic fruit is typically bright pink and green. Some have yellow skin. The inner flesh of the fruit is usually white, red, or purple.
