Tomatoes are probably the vegetable (or fruit?) that everyone is most familiar with. From tomato sauce, to the ubiquitous tomato base in pasta and pizza. It doesn't seem to matter what country the dish is from, tomatoes are always present.

The first discovery of the tomato was made by the Native Americans of Central America, who discovered the tomato and brought it to the Mexican region to be planted and cultivated. Today's "tomato" comes from the Nahuatl word "tomatl".

Tomatoes were discovered for the second time in the early 16th century. The Spaniards brought back a lot of goodies from the Americas, such as chili peppers, cacao, potatoes, etc., which also included tomatoes.

In Europe, the first people to eat tomatoes are Spain and Italy. It wasn't long before tomatoes appeared in Spanish and Italian cuisine. But the rest of Europe, for a long time, only as an ornamental plant, do not dare to eat tomatoes.

In today's drawing tutorial, we are going to learn how to draw a different kind of tomato - a funny cartoon tomato. It has arms and legs and is showing off its muscles.

Although this tomato is a bit special, it is not complicated to draw. If you want a more realistic tomato, just omit its face, arms, legs and belt. Try drawing it if you like it.
