How to Draw a Spaghetti Squash
Draw a spaghetti squash 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 squash.
Step 1: The squash
Left of the middle draw a big smooth oval lying on its side, with blunt rounded ends.
Tip Inside a spaghetti squash the flesh pulls apart into strands, just like spaghetti.
Step 2: A stubby stem
On the left end draw a stubby stem sticking out, a little wider at its flat cut end.
Step 3: A shine
Inside the upper left of the oval draw a thin oval sliver for a shine, leaning with the curve.
Step 4: A cut half
On the right draw a long oval leaning on the squash, left end up high, right end on the ground.
Step 5: Thick rind
Inside the leaning oval draw a second oval, a finger inside the first all the way round, for the rind.
Step 6: Strands
Inside the rind draw 3 long wavy lines side by side. Start near the top end, stop near the bottom.
Step 7: More strands
Add 2 more wavy lines in the gaps. Start near the top end, stop near the bottom end.
Step 8: The ground
Draw a long ground line just touching the bottoms of both, lifting your pencil where it would cross them.
Step 9: Yellow squash
Go over your lines, then colour the squash and the rind of the half yellow. Leave the shine white.
Step 10: Cream strands, tan stem
Colour the strands inside the half cream and the stem tan, and your spaghetti squash is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a spaghetti squash, drawn by you.
