How to Draw a Jelly Bean
Draw a jelly bean 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: a plate.
Step 1: A plate
In the middle of your paper draw a big oval plate, much wider than it is tall.
Tip The beans sit inside the rim.
Step 2: The rim
Draw a second flat oval just inside the plate, all the way round, for the rim.
Step 3: The jelly bean
In the middle of the plate draw a fat bean lying down, as wide as 3 fingers, like a kidney.
Tip Tilt it a little, one end up.
Step 4: A shine
On the upper left of the bean draw a thin curved sliver for a shine.
Step 5: Left bean
On the left of the plate draw a smaller bean tucked behind the big one, tilted the other way.
Step 6: Right bean
On the right of the plate draw another bean the same size, tucked behind the big one and tilted up.
Step 7: Two in front
In front of the big bean draw 2 more beans side by side, one leaning each way.
Step 8: The table
Draw a table line under the plate, just touching its bottom.
Step 9: Sky plate
Go over your lines. Colour the plate sky blue, going round the beans.
Step 10: Pink bean
Colour the big bean pink. Leave the shine white.
Step 11: Red and yellow
Colour the left bean red and the right bean yellow.
Step 12: Green and purple
Colour the 2 front beans green and purple, and your jelly beans are done!
