This is really a great contest. Thanks to the Steem Fashions&Style team for organizing such an art contest every week. The topic of this week's contest is to draw a cantaloupe. The word cantaloupe is unfamiliar to me so I searched on Google to learn about it and saw that it looks a lot like a watermelon. Then I drew this picture above with my colored pencils and pencils. So let's see the process of my cantaloupe drawing today step by step.

First I took a white paper and a 2b pencil. Then I drew a round cantaloupe fruit with the pencil. Then I drew another half of the cantaloupe fruit right next to it.

Then I darkened the entire art thoroughly with a 6b pencil. Then I drew the round cantaloupe fruit stem and drew four vertical dark green lines.

Next, I drew several yellow dots on the white part of the round cantaloupe fruit. Then I painted green on top of that yellow color.

Then I added a few dark green spots to the bottom of the cantaloupe half I had drawn on the right side. Then I added yellow and green to the white part.

Then I drew a lot of red bee art in the middle and added a border. Then I left a little white in the middle and painted the rest of the area orange and painted the sides light brown and left some areas white.
