How to Draw an Avocado
Draw an avocado 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: half an avocado.
Step 1: Half an avocado
In the middle of your paper, a little right, draw a big pear shape. Small round top, big round bottom.
Tip Make the round bottom much bigger than the top.
Step 2: The flesh
Inside it, draw a second pear shape a finger inside the first, all the way round.
Step 3: The pit
In the big round bottom, draw a big round pit as big as a plum.
Step 4: A whole avocado
Draw an egg, thin end up, peeking out behind the left of the half. Start and stop on the half.
Step 5: A tiny stem
Draw a tiny stem on the top tip of the whole avocado. Start and stop on the skin.
Step 6: Shines
Draw a thin oval shine inside the left side of the whole avocado. Add a tiny one on the pit.
Step 7: The ground
Draw a ground line under both avocados, just touching the bottom of the half.
Tip Do not draw through the avocados.
Step 8: Yellow flesh
Colour the flesh of the half yellow.
Step 9: Brown pit and stem
Colour the pit and the tiny stem brown, leaving the pit's shine white.
Step 10: Green skins
Go over your lines. Colour the skin of both avocados dark green around the stem, leaving the shine white.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: an avocado, drawn by you.
