1. Draw a large circle anywhere on a watermelon. Then draw six petal designs pointed inwards.

2. Carve out the petals to show some watermelon red. Carve the underside of the petals thinly to make room for several additional layers underneath.

3. Round the area under the first layer of petals. Draw and carve out smaller second layer of petals in-between the first petals.

4. Continue to the third layer of petals. Then prepare to carve several layers into a bowl shape.

5. Make rows of small designs downwards, working gingerly in-between the long outer petals.

6. The depth and the curve give the desired dimensions.

7. Start the outwards layer of petals.

8. Create large petals to offset the detailed designs of the center. Continue with leaves and clusters of buds as you please.

Continue to carving a Galangal Flower from carrot.
