Honestly, I just wanted to practice sketching fruits and veggies with ballpoint pen and colored pencils. But when I shared them online, people started asking me,
“Wait, is this a real photo or a drawing?” That’s when I realized—realism + a pinch of humor = scroll-stopping content. So here are 10 of my most recent sketches—done by hand, with love (and a bit of hunger). Enjoy!
1. 🍉 Watermelon Cubes that Could Win a Dice Game
Honestly, they look like they’re ready to roll a six and ruin your board game strategy. Why are they this cute? I was just trying to draw fruit.
2. 🥒 Cucumber that Definitely Drinks Matcha
This cucumber wakes up at 5 AM, journals, and stretches. Meanwhile, I was up till 2 shading those bumps.
3. 🍒 Lychee that Looks Like a Dragon Egg
This one looks like it’s hiding secrets. Probably ancient. Probably magical. Definitely hard to shade.
4. 🔵 Blueberries with Main Character Energy
They’re juicy. They’re moody. And yes, they stared at me the entire time I was drawing.
5. 🍌 Banana that’s Seen Some Things
A little bruised. A little bent. But still strong and full of potassium.
6. 🌶️ Chili With Zero Chill
It’s standing like it owns the kitchen. Mild? Never heard of her.
7. 🧅 Onion that Just Watched a Sad Movie
Tell me this isn’t the most emotional onion you’ve ever seen. I drew it and immediately felt like it needed a hug.
8. 🟢 Peas that are Too Perfect
Lined up like overachievers. Probably have a group chat called “Green Goals”.
9. 🍏 Apple that Took a Skincare Course
She’s glowing. She’s hydrated. She’s the girl your salad warned you about.
10. 🍉 Watermelon Slices That Slap
These look like they’ve been chilling in the fridge waiting for their close-up. And yes, drawing all those seeds was personal.
Did I draw food just for fun? Yes. Do I now feel emotionally attached to a chili pepper and a banana? Also yes. If you smiled at least once, you owe this post a share. And if you didn’t… you might be the onion.
