Fruit family

For the fruit family I wanted to do the most common ones to find in a fruit bowl as I loved the idea of having their car be the bowl. So I drew a pear mum, an apple dad, an orange boy, a grape baby and a banana pet. For each character I drew them out a couple of times until I reached a character I was happy enough to move onto the next one. Often this was after around four or five attempts but it could be more whenever the character needed more working out.

On the pear mum I tested drawing some clothes on her but I think that they detract from the  fruitness of her. With clothes she's not immediately recognisable as a pear so I decided to focus on having her being more like a pear. After looking at pears I noticed that they were often speckled so I used dots to show shading and to negate all that white space. I did this with the other fruits too but as I looked at their individual appearances they each have different ways of shading (lines for the apple, shine for the grape etc.).

I tried to draw apple dad without hair first off as he is an apple but this didn't convey his dadness so I drew on his big moustache and eyebrows. I also thought that if they are made of a different apple colour he could still be hairless like the rest.

With the boy I made use of the dotted look of oranges to give him freckles and I gave the baby a bib, as like the dad it needed something a little extra to reinforce what they are.
