How to Draw a Banana
Drawing a banana is so easy that even a 5-year-old can do it. Whether you’re an experienced artist or a beginner, it’s a fun and simple task that you can complete quickly and show off to your friends and family. If you want to draw a delicious, yellow banana that’s bright and ripe, then follow these simple steps:
Choose Your Art Supplies
You won’t need much for this project, just a few simple supplies. Pick up a piece of white paper, a graphite pencil and an eraser. Then find a comfortable spot and get ready to draw.
Start At the Top
Now it’s time to begin your banana. Start by sketching a curved line along the top and straighten it out near the end. To make it look even more realistic, draw a second curved line below the first one, with a dip and a slight curve at the top.
Draw the Sides
Now add some sides to your banana. Draw two curved lines that go down and then out, resembling the shape of a balloon. Be sure to add two small curves that go inwards near the top of the banana.
Add Detail and Texture
Once you have the general shape, it’s time to add detail. Imagine that the banana is made of segments and draw the lines that separate each one. You can also add texture by drawing a series of bumps and lines on the surface of the banana.
Smooth Out the Lines
Once you’re finished with the details, take your eraser and begin to blend the lines that you’ve drawn. This will make the banana look softer and more realistic.
Finishing Touches
The last step is to give your banana some color. Use a yellow pencil or crayon to fill in the banana and add some highlights to make it pop. You can then erase any lingering pencil lines and you’re all set!
Go Bananas!
Now that you know how to draw a banana, it’s time to put your skills to the test by drawing something more complex. Who knows, you may even be able to create a banana masterpiece!
