How to Draw a Finger Lime
Draw a finger lime 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 cut lime.
Step 1: The cut lime
Right of the middle, draw a C with a round nose on the left. Start top right, stop bottom right.
Tip A finger lime is long and thin like a finger, so keep it low.
Step 2: The cut face
Close the open end with a tall oval, touching the top line and the bottom line.
Step 3: Pearls inside
Fill the oval with 7 round pearls, 3 down the middle and 2 on each side, all touching.
Step 4: A whole lime
Behind the nose, draw a long lime just as thick, with a round end. Start and stop on the nose.
Step 5: Stem and leaf
On the left point draw a tiny stem with a small leaf pointing up. Start and stop on the skin.
Step 6: Spilled pearls
By the cut face, draw 2 pearls on the ground with 1 on top. Add 1 more rolled away.
Step 7: The ground
Draw a long ground line under both limes and the pearls, just touching their bottoms.
Step 8: Pink pearls
Go over your lines. Colour every pearl pink, in the oval and on the ground.
Step 9: Light green
Colour the cut face and the leaf light green, around the pink pearls.
Step 10: Dark green skins
Colour both limes and the stem dark green, around the light green. Your finger lime is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a finger lime, drawn by you.
