This simple apple drawing will take kids 20-30 minutes to draw and color.
Total Time: 25 minutes
Step #1: Draw a Circle
Make a smooth circle in the center of the paper. This circle can be as big as you want your apple to be.
Remember to draw lightly with your pencil so that you can erase any unnecessary lines later.
Step #2: Draw a Wavy M-shape Inside the Circle
In the top area of this circle, draw a rough and wide M-shaped wavy line, with its edges curving down along the circle, as shown in Image 2.
Step #3: Draw an Inverted “U” at the bottom of the Circle
Now, at the bottom of the circle, draw a wide inverted “U” with both of its edges smoothly blending with the circle outline.
Step #4: Erase the Guidelines
This is a very easy step. Simply take an eraser and remove the extra outline of the circle.
Step #5: Draw the Stem
Now, let’s draw the stem. Starting from the middle of the M-shape on the top, draw a vertical slanted line slightly bending to the right side.
Step #6: Complete the Apple Stem
Now, next to the first line, draw another similar but shorter line from the center of the M- shape. Please refer to Image 6.
Finally, connect the top ends of the two lines of the stem with a tiny line.
Step #7: Draw the Leaf
To make the leaf, draw a curved line coming off the center of the M-shape and bend it to the left.
Now, from the same starting point, draw a roughly straight but slanted line and connect it to the other end of the previous small curve. And it’s done!
Lastly, take a black marker and draw a clear outline of the apple drawing.
Step #8: Color Your Apple Drawing
It’s finally time for your favorite part: coloring! So, color the apple red, the leaf green, and the stem brown, and you’re finished! Your colorful apple drawing is complete.
Drawing an apple is incredibly simple if you use simple shapes and lines and carefully follow each step of this drawing tutorial. Always use light pencil strokes so that you can erase the guidelines after you finish the drawing. And lastly, learn and have fun!
