Ques. Make an interesting 2-D fruit basket and fill in with an interesting colour scheme.

 

Firstly, it's given that a 2D composition is to be made.

The contents are a fruit basket and some fruits in it.

The question is pretty simple & clear in itself.

And it's super easy to score marks here.

For this question, we are featuring four attempts of varying qualities.
