How to Draw a Candy Apple
Draw a candy 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
In the middle of your paper, draw a big round apple, as wide as your hand. Dip the top in.
Tip The apple is fatter at the shoulders than at the bottom.
Step 2: The stick
From the dip, draw 2 lines straight up, as tall as a thumb, and join them across the top.
Step 3: Candy puddle
Start low on the apple's left side. Draw a wide wavy puddle under the apple, stopping on its right side.
Tip The hot candy slides down and pools round the bottom.
Step 4: Sparkles
Draw a 4-point sparkle on each side of the stick and a small one off the apple's right side.
Step 5: A shine
On the upper left of the apple, draw a thin slanted oval sliver for a shine.
Tip The candy shell is hard and glossy.
Step 6: A plate
Under the apple, draw a long flat oval plate, going behind the apple and puddle. Add a rim oval inside.
Step 7: The table
Draw a table line under the plate from well left to well right, just touching its bottom.
Step 8: Sparkles and stick
Colour the sparkles yellow and the stick light brown.
Step 9: Blue plate
Colour the plate sky blue, going around the apple and its puddle.
Step 10: Red candy
Colour the apple and its candy puddle red. Leave the shine white. Your candy apple is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a candy apple, drawn by you.
