Draw a little line on top of the tomato to make it look like a stem! Tomatoes usually have a cute little stem that makes the drawing more fun!

To make the tomato more fun, cut it into little pieces! These can be super duper simple curved lines that go out from the middle of the tomato. This step is like when you cut a tomato into little pieces, just like how it naturally breaks apart!
Step 7: Shade for Realism
Okay, let’s color the tomato! We’ll shade it by adding some darker areas where the light and shadow meet. The tippity-top and the super cool sides might have sparkly highlights, while the bottom might be just a teensy bit darker. Hey there, kiddo! Grab your colorful pencils and let’s make some magic happen! We’re going to use our pencils to make the colors go from super bright to a little bit darker. It’s like making a smooth slide for the colors to go down. So cool, right? Let’s get started and have some artsy fun!
