How to Draw a Cashew
Draw a cashew 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: bottom curve.
Step 1: Bottom curve
Start high on the left. Draw a big fat U whose ends curl in. Stop high on the right.
Step 2: Top curve
Start at one round end. Draw a gentle curve that dips in the middle and stop at the other end.
Step 3: Two big eyes
Below the dip draw 2 big egg eyes. Add a black dot and a white shine in each.
Step 4: A big smile
Leave a little gap under the eyes and draw a wide U smile, ends turning up.
Step 5: Round cheeks
Under each eye, just outside the smile, draw a small flat oval for a cheek.
Step 6: The crease
Start inside the right end, near the dip. Follow the top edge up and stop before the round tip.
Step 7: A shine
Inside the left end draw 1 short curved line that follows the round edge, for a shine.
Step 8: The ground
Draw a ground line under the nut, from near the left edge to near the right edge.
Step 9: Pink cheeks
Colour the 2 cheeks pink.
Step 10: Tan cashew
Go over your lines. Colour the nut tan, going around the eyes and cheeks. Leave the eyes white.

Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a cashew, drawn by you.
