Or do eat it, and become capable of fantastic art.
If it was me, and I knew the stakes..... all of them....... I'm not sure what I'd do.
Granted it's a story, though it's not necessarily a story that portrays any of the characters involved in a positive light.
Adam is off derping around, and then proves easily persuaded. The snake is obviously trying to manipulate Eve, but does it actually do so from ill will, or good? Without knowing the full context, it's very difficult to know. Eve first chooses to eat the apple, with it unclear whether she was aware of any of the stakes, and that choice changes things.
And then there's God, who created all of this, and when things don't go according to how he planned it, instead of accepting responsibility, he gets mad and rages about how his perfect little world isn't perfect anymore.
This idea that any of these characters were ever pure good seems preposterous in that context.
The apple doesn't tend to fall far from the tree, and with God's own flaws in such display, how could anything he created be without flaws?
So it the apple evil? Or does the apple merely allow us to understand what we're doing and who were are?
Did the apple create vice, or merely allow us to see our own flaws and the flaws of other things?
Is seeing those flaws a bad thing?
I don't know.
It's a story that is central to Christianity, but which isn't included in any detail for Judaism or Islam. Which is somewhat interesting given their common origin.
It's an interesting allegory, because though at certain times it was portrayed as a clear case of Eve doing something awful, and was used largely to illustrate the danger of questioning things, such simplistic explanations defy the complex issues raised within the story.
It's not a story that I'm overly fond of, but I do find it interesting in a certain way, a certain lens through which many have tried to understand who they are and where they came from. I'm not sure it's the best lens to do so, but it does bring up some interesting questions that are uniquely highlighted through its use.
Beautiful drawing by the way, the colors you use, and the way you use them are fantastic.

From the Orthodox perspective, you cannot fully grasp the tale of Adam and Eve, until you reach its apex, on Holy Saturday:
youtu.be/GzTBd9yr-9I
See, from our POV, God wants us to love Him, but CHOOSE to love him. That means we can also choose not to. Original Sin is not a “crime” visited upon the sons in Orthodox theology, we see it more as a DISEASE.
The apple itself wasn’t a disease, for God does not Create anything evil DIRECTLY, but for a will to be free to choose, it needs OPTIONS; without a lot of them, freedom is meaningless. So he provided elements that, kept separate, were harmless and as such could potentially have been left indefinitely harmless. Only by humanity’s will, were they put together in a way that became THE disease upon their souls, but a disease that opened up COUNTLESS choices in life, choices filled with abundant potential meaning, with the ULTIMATE meaning being in the film above.
This is why it is called “The Necessary Sin of Adam, that gave us so Great a Redeemer.”
