Let’s start by drawing a fruit that has become iconic thanks to Apple technology, but this time, we’re focusing on the actual fruit—a fresh, unbitten apple, much like you’d see in a still life painting. In this step-by-step tutorial, we’ll guide you through the process of drawing a beautiful, realistic apple.
Step 1:
Begin by sketching a simple circle. Your goal here is to create the most perfect, round shape possible for the base of the apple. Keep your lines smooth and light, as this will serve as the foundation for your drawing.
Step 2:
Next, we’ll refine the shape of the apple. Using the circle from the previous step as your guide, adjust the form by making the top, bottom, and sides slightly flatter.
Step 3:
This step is quick and easy. Simply sketch the outlines of the stem and leaf with short, light strokes.
Step 4:
We’re nearly finished! In this step, erase any unnecessary guiding lines. Then, refine the stem and leaf, adding veins to the leaf for more detail.
Step 5:
You could stop at the previous step, but if you want to enhance your drawing, adding shadows will make it more accurate. Here, you can create soft shadows using broad hatching strokes.
This tutorial on how to draw an apple was quite simple. The apple is one of those things that everyone draws, even very young children. As soon as they pick up a pencil, they often start by drawing familiar objects like an apple, a pear, or a horse. Today, we aimed to show you the best way to draw this iconic and sweet fruit. The apple is also a common subject in still life compositions. We hope this lesson helped you enhance your drawing skills and knowledge in this area of art. We hope your drawing turned out beautifully. See you again on drawingforall.net!
