How to Draw Okra
Draw okra 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 pod.
Step 1: The pod
Draw 1 tall pod a little left of the middle, standing on its point like an upside-down carrot.
Step 2: 2 big eyes
Just below the top draw 2 big egg eyes, close together. Colour a black dot in each, leaving a shine.
Step 3: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a wide U smile. Add a small flat oval cheek out beside each end of it.
Step 4: The cap
On top of the pod draw a snug cap, as wide as the pod, with a wavy bottom edge.
Step 5: A stem
Out of the top of the cap draw a short thick stem sticking straight up.
Step 6: Ridges
Draw 2 long ridges down the sides, from under the cap to near the point, and 1 below the smile.
Step 7: The ground
Draw a ground line from the left edge across to the right edge, just touching the pod's bottom.
Step 8: A slice
On the ground to the right, draw a round slice a bit smaller than the cap, with a star inside.
Step 9: Pink cheeks
Go over your lines, then colour the cheeks pink.
Step 10: Pale slice
Colour the star cream, then the slice light green around it.
Step 11: Green pod
Colour the pod, cap and stem green around the cheeks, leaving the eyes white, and your okra is done!
