How to Draw Edamame Pods
Draw edamame pods in 12 easy steps, about 9 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 bowl.
Step 1: The bowl
Draw a wide bowl: a deep smile for the top edge and a round bottom. Add a foot.
Tip Edamame are soybeans in their fuzzy green pods.
Step 2: The rim
Start at the bowl's left tip. Draw a big curve over the top and stop at the right tip.
Step 3: The front pod
Inside the bowl, near the front, draw a long pod: 3 bumps on top, a smooth curve underneath, pointy ends.
Tip Each bump is a bean inside the pod.
Step 4: Two more pods
Behind it draw 2 more bumpy pods, one leaning each way. Their far tips reach the rim.
Step 5: A pod on top
Draw one more bumpy pod across the back of the heap, poking up over the rim.
Step 6: An open pod
Right of the bowl draw half a pod on the table: a little boat with pointy ends.
Step 7: Three beans
Draw 3 round beans sitting in a row in the boat.
Step 8: Back of the pod
Start at one tip of the boat. Draw 3 bumps over the beans and stop at the other tip.
Step 9: The table
Draw the table line under the bowl's foot and the open pod, from far left to far right.
Step 10: Light green beans
Colour the 3 beans in the open pod light green.
Step 11: Green pods
Go over your lines. Colour all the pods green, around the light green beans.
Step 12: Blue bowl
Colour the bowl and its foot blue. Colour inside the rim light blue, around the pods.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: edamame pods, drawn by you.
