How to Draw a Peanut
Draw a peanut 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: left oval.
Step 1: Left oval
In the left half of your paper, lightly draw a big oval, a bit wider than it is tall.
Step 2: Right oval
Lightly draw a second oval overlapping it a little on the right, a tiny bit smaller, bottoms level.
Step 3: Left bump
Start at the top middle. Go over the left oval, stop at the bottom middle, curving in at both ends.
Step 4: Right bump
Start at the top middle again. Go over the right oval, stop at the bottom middle. Rub out the ovals.
Step 5: A soft tip
At the right end draw a tiny soft point sticking out, then rub out the line inside it.
Step 6: Waist creases
Where the bumps meet, draw a short bowed line down from the top edge and one up from the bottom.
Step 7: Left grooves
Across the middle of the left bump draw 3 short slanted dashes in a row, for grooves in the shell.
Step 8: Right grooves
Across the middle of the right bump draw 3 more short dashes in a row, leaning the same way.
Step 9: The ground
Draw a ground line under the peanut, from near the left edge to near the right, touching both bumps.
Step 10: Tan shell
Go over your lines, then colour the whole shell tan, the soft tip too. Your peanut is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a peanut, drawn by you.
