Instructions

  • The first step is to draw the base shape of an apple. It's not a perfect circle. It's more like two if you were to draw two ovals that overlap at a slight v in the middle. Erase the middle lines to give you the basic apple shape.

  • Next, it's time to draw the stem of the apple. We went with a basic shape, but you may want it to slightly curve. Whichever stem you draw, make sure it is drawn right in the "v" of the top of your apple.

  • The last step is to clean up any extra light lines. Once you have your drawing where you want it, we like to go over the lines with a hard pencil line and outline the apple with a black sketch pen.
