LuLu dates
LuLu’s rounded form makes a useful first shape for a young observer. Sketch one curved edge, then look for the small wrinkles that interrupt the outline.
Read the LuLu guide ↗Kholas dates
A Kholas date offers a study in golden and brown tones. Look at the top of each fold where light falls, then at the darker line where the skin turns away.
Read the Kholas guide ↗Mozafati dates
Mozafati dates have soft flesh and dark skin. A small reflection can make the curve of the fruit easier to see. Leave that area blank in a pencil sketch.
Read the Mozafati guide ↗Farz dates
The glossy skin of Farz gives the eye a clear point to follow. Change your viewing angle and notice how the highlight shifts while the outline stays the same.
Read the Farz guide ↗Majdool dates
A Majdool’s elongated shape is a good contrast to a round LuLu. On the same page, sketch their silhouettes side by side and compare their length and width.
