How to Draw a Pepper
Draw a pepper in 8 easy steps, about 6 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 middle bump.
Step 1: The middle bump
Draw a tall bump, taller than wide, with a shallow dip in the top and a round bottom.
Tip Tall and bowed, like a fat finger standing up.
Step 2: Side bumps
Start under each shoulder. Draw a fat C out and down to the ground, and stop at the middle bump.
Step 3: The stem
Start in the dip. Draw a short thick stem curving up to the right, with a flat end.
Step 4: The cap
Start on the dip left of the stem. Draw 3 soft points, and stop on the dip on the right.
Step 5: A shine
Inside the upper left of the middle bump draw a long thin oval sliver for a shine, following the edge.
Step 6: The ground
Draw a ground line under the pepper, starting past its left side and stopping past its right side.
Step 7: Green stem and cap
Go over your lines, then colour the stem and the cap green.
Step 8: Red pepper
Colour the pepper red around the green cap, leaving the shine white, and your pepper is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a pepper, drawn by you.
