The ribs carry the whole drawing. A hami melon has almost no net, so line-work does the work that texture does on the others.

It is the sweetest fruit in the series and shows the least of it, which is the joke.

Two inks, one field, 8 fruits. Printed at 2048 × 1152 for the poster, 1200 × 630 for the link card, upscaled for the screens above.
