----------- #### Cordial greetings to all! ---------- I seemed to take part in the Steem Fashion&Style community's creation contest today. I really enjoy the competition. I attempt to participate here. I presented my drawing of a tamarind to you today as part of this competition. I would like to express my gratitude for setting up this lovely competition for us before I enter. Let's show off our creativity. Friends, instead of wasting time chatting, let me show you how I drew this tamarind. ![IMG_7606.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZmXuU1KL5gE6jW4aHMgA2xEiQkNXAX28P1J82v8adhS7/IMG_7606.jpg) The tamarind fruit is young and has a sour, green pulp. As it ripens, the luscious pulp gets more sweet-sour and paste-like. Desserts, drinks, marinades, chutneys, and sauces all contain it. Tamarind has been used extensively in traditional medicine as well. It helps to boost immunity, and anti-aging for the skin.. In order to aid in wound healing, the bark and leaves were also utilized. Beyond culinary uses, its very useful pulp is used as a natural cleaning agent. ***The material I used at the time of drawing.***

✏️Step 01 ✏️

---- Tamarind's shape is easy to draw, so I used a simple curved line to sketch it. Then I draw some more lines inside this to present the inside of the tamarind shell. |![IMG_7592.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXaRSobFpqeg5sAz9hG8ovBBq3ysJ7XKANBDMwFBVicbr/IMG_7592.jpg)|![IMG_7593.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUBmRoBFapHZuaQUf3JjguSkqSVdTnF4fDeYQ25Hyr7bg/IMG_7593.jpg)| |-|-| ![1000009292.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbxr76ozwn4VCB4xPBkdNMtrVCvVGqKFU3eFX5wDbadU5/1000009292.png) ---- ##

✏️Step 02 ✏️

---- Similarly, I have drawn another tamarind on the back of the first one. To show its seed properties, I have also drawn some tamarind seeds scattered around their own part. |![IMG_7594.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQme8kqTVtCf1fUhWxmvPqusX7UcQh4WU6idYntci8JnDTZ/IMG_7594.jpg)|![IMG_7595.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXmbRvcMb3MzHsUQ4J8SkQJ7PbiPZRjy1RwL27o7bWbqs/IMG_7595.jpg)| |-|-| ![1000009292.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbxr76ozwn4VCB4xPBkdNMtrVCvVGqKFU3eFX5wDbadU5/1000009292.png) ---- ##

✏️Step 03 ✏️

---- Now, from the front part of the second drawn Tamarind, I have drawn three leaf branches with many thin leaves attached to them. ![IMG_7596.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSRtcuuyi7g4K2iyiZf6SZJ3Sv4Z9CpEHKgx1cMD45dx2/IMG_7596.jpg) ![1000009292.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbxr76ozwn4VCB4xPBkdNMtrVCvVGqKFU3eFX5wDbadU5/1000009292.png) ---- ##

✏️Step 04 ✏️

---- I painted the half-peeled tamarind first. In this case, I used a combination of orange and yellow to color the peel part. Then I used dark brown paint for the edible parts. ![IMG_7597.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRF5z7x7CMyhws5o4BX6i86U1srYwgSvPkfadAMi4xbzy/IMG_7597.jpg) ![1000009292.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbxr76ozwn4VCB4xPBkdNMtrVCvVGqKFU3eFX5wDbadU5/1000009292.png) ---- ##

✏️Step 05 ✏️

---- Using the same combination of colors used previously, I painted the back tamarind peel in the same way and painted the seeds of the tamarind with a dark brown color that spread out at the bottom part. ![IMG_7599.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRpfdpKBgv7YVyqtefmSbNNMV1vyPkUgodkXax2duQa23/IMG_7599.jpg) ![1000009292.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbxr76ozwn4VCB4xPBkdNMtrVCvVGqKFU3eFX5wDbadU5/1000009292.png) ---- ##

✏️Step 06 ✏️

---- Finally, I painted beautifully the leaves with a combination of dark and light green. ![IMG_7600.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUww5Rsaj56g9GKT4KLFcfxj6KSt879jftnciPFw4w9UR/IMG_7600.jpg) ![1000009292.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbxr76ozwn4VCB4xPBkdNMtrVCvVGqKFU3eFX5wDbadU5/1000009292.png) ![IMG_7609.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSwdR3C89ciug8ec5Z5CzwhuxfPcavFyCFeSe1xouH2mo/IMG_7609.jpg) | My selfie with the final result of my drawing . | |-| I would like to invite @drhuma, @selina1 and @rajusam to participate in this competition.
