Question

Draw a memory drawing of any one of the following by pencil. The drawing should not be less than 15 cm:

 \begin{enumerate}[(i)] \item Two Guavas with leaves \item Brinjal \item Two Tomatoes \end{enumerate} Keep in view the following points in drawing: \begin{enumerate}[(i)] \item Beauty of lines \hfill 06 marks \item Resemblance of figures \hfill 04 marks \end{enumerate}

Hint:

Before finalizing, check that both guavas are proportionate and the leaves are naturally placed. Don't over-shade—keep it neat and clean for best visual impact.

Answer 1

Let's choose: Two Guavas with leaves

Step 1: Outline Sketch
Begin by drawing the two guavas using freehand elliptical or slightly oblong shapes. Place them side by side, slightly overlapping to create depth and realism. Use light pencil strokes.

Step 2: Add Stems and Leaves
Draw short, curved stems at the top of each guava. Attach 2–4 leaves, using elongated oval shapes with pointed tips. Add the midrib and veins for realism using rhythmic curved lines.

Step 3: Texture and Contour
Add soft pencil shading to represent the slightly rough texture of guava skin. Use light cross-hatching for shadow beneath the fruits to show placement on a surface.

Step 4: Final Refinement
Reinforce the main outlines gently without over-darkening. Maintain smooth curvature. Clean extra lines with an eraser. Emphasize leaf edges and shape proportions.

Step 5: Size Check
Ensure the drawing is not less than 15 cm in any dimension (height or width), as required.
