    Try to make the right side bigger than the left. This will serve as the body of the brinjal.

    Add a couple of spikes to give it shape. This will be the cap of the brinjal.

    Community Answer
    Brinjal is just a regional name for an eggplant. "Eggplant" is the common name in North America, Australia and New Zealand, but British English uses the French word, "aubergine." It is known in South Asia and South Africa as brinjal.

  • Question
    How do I mix the colors on the eggplant?
    Community Answer
    It depends on the coloring medium you are using. For some, like colored pencil and shading pencils, you can rub on the pigment and make them blend together. For mediums like marker or paint, you can use multiple shades of the color and mix them that way.
