How to Draw a Fig Fruit
Draw a fig fruit 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: half a fig.
Step 1: Half a fig
Right of the middle draw a fig: a fat round bottom like a plum with a short neck on top.
Tip A fat teardrop, point up.
Step 2: The rind
Inside it draw a second fig shape a finger inside the first, all the way round.
Step 3: The pink middle
Inside that draw a smaller fig shape in the middle for the seedy pink heart.
Step 4: Tiny seeds
Dot a dozen tiny seeds inside the pink middle, spread all over it.
Step 5: A whole fig
To the left draw a second whole fig tucked behind the half, with its own neck on top.
Step 6: Stems
From the neck of each fig draw a short curved stem of 2 lines, leaning towards each other.
Step 7: Shine and leaf
Draw a thin oval shine on the whole fig. By its stem draw a small leaf with 3 round lobes.
Step 8: The ground
Draw a ground line under both figs, just touching their bottoms, from far left to far right.
Step 9: Cream rind, pink middle
Colour the rind of the half cream and its middle pink.
Step 10: Green leaf
Colour the leaf green.
Step 11: Purple skins
Colour both fig skins purple around the rind, leaving the shine white. Colour the stems brown. Your figs are done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a fig fruit, drawn by you.
