How to Draw a Cherimoya
Draw a cherimoya in 11 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 fruit.
Step 1: The fruit
Left of the middle draw a big plump heart standing up, as tall as your hand, dip on top.
Tip A cherimoya looks like a green heart wearing scaly armour.
Step 2: The stem
From the dip on top draw a short stem of two lines going straight up, round at the top.
Step 3: Scales
Near the top draw 3 little U-shaped scales in a row. Under them draw 4 more, set in between.
Step 4: More scales
Under those draw a row of 3 more, tucked into the gaps of the row above, like fish scales.
Step 5: Last scales
Finish with a row of 2 near the bottom point, so the whole heart is scaly.
Step 6: A cut half
Low on the right draw a smaller heart, a cut half overlapping the fruit. Rub out the lines inside.
Step 7: The rind
Inside the half draw a second heart a finger inside the first, all the way round, for the rind.
Step 8: Black seeds
Inside the flesh draw 5 plump seeds, little ovals leaning different ways, spread out.
Step 9: The ground
Draw a long ground line from side to side, just touching the bottoms of the fruit and the half.
Step 10: Cream flesh, green skin
Colour the half's flesh cream around the seeds. Colour the big fruit and the rind green, around the cream.
Step 11: Black seeds, brown stem
Colour the seeds black and the stem brown. Go over your lines, and your cherimoya is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a cherimoya, drawn by you.
