How to Draw an Apple
Draw an apple in 10 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the apple.
Step 1: The apple
From a dip on top draw round the apple and back to the dip. Bite 2 scoops out of the left.
Tip Widest at the round shoulders. Leave room above for the stem and leaf.
Step 2: The stem
From the dip draw a short stem leaning right, thinner as it goes up, and back down to the dip.
Step 3: The leaf
From the stem draw a big almond leaf pointing up and right.
Step 4: The leaf's vein
Draw a middle line along the leaf from the stem, stopping before the tip.
Step 5: Inside the bite
Draw a curve just inside the bite, from its top corner round to its bottom corner.
Step 6: A shine
Inside the right shoulder draw a thin curved sliver, a finger inside the edge, like a tiny banana.
Step 7: The ground
Draw a ground line under the apple, just touching its bottom, well left to well right. Add 2 grass tufts.
Step 8: Cream bite
Colour the band inside the bite cream, up to your curve. It is the apple's juicy inside.
Step 9: Red apple
Colour the apple red, around the white shine and the cream bite.
Step 10: Green leaf, brown stem
Colour the leaf green and the stem brown. Go over your lines and your apple is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: an apple, drawn by you.
