How to Draw a Watermelon
Draw a watermelon 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 slice.
Step 1: The slice
Start on the left. Draw a flat line across and a big U below it, stopping before they meet.
Step 2: The bite
Start at the right end of the top line. Draw a big round bite into the slice, to the U.
Step 3: The rind
Start on the top line, left side. Draw a curve a thumb inside the U. Stop at the bite.
Step 4: White band
Start on the top line, inside the rind. Draw a second curve down and round. Stop on the bite.
Step 5: Seeds
Draw 5 small tilted ovals for seeds, spread across the top of the slice.
Step 6: More seeds
Draw 5 more seed ovals lower in the slice. Tip each one a different way.
Step 7: The table
Draw a long flat table line right under the slice, touching its bottom.
Step 8: Red flesh
Colour the big middle part of the slice red, going around the seeds.
Step 9: Green rind
Colour the wide outside band green. Leave the thin band next to it white.
Step 10: Black seeds
Colour all 10 seeds black.
