How to Draw a Banana Easy!
The drawing steps and illustrated images in this drawing tutorial will show you, in simple steps, how to create a single banana from start to finish. In other words, all you need to do is follow the easy steps.
- Sketch a long, curved line like a smiley face to represent the inside curve of a banana.
- Round the corner off and make a slight curve around and down to form the underside of the banana. Notice this banana shape is kind of like a canoe!
- Add extra details like lines on the side and at the bottom of the banana. Likewise, at the bottom of the banana, sketch a small oval. Similarly, at the opposite end of the banana, draw a stem by drawing a tall upside-down U.
- Trace around the drawing of a banana with a black pen then color. The banana in the picture is bright yellow, but you can achieve darker values by coloring the peeling with light gray crayons first and then a yellow crayon on top. On the other hand, you can choose your own colors to complete this drawing!

Fruity Salad for the Win
My banana loving son would do the cutest monkey dance when he saw bananas at the store! Consequently, this was my opportunity to introduce him to other fruits by adding slices of apples, grapes, oranges, and cherries to his beloved fruit! Let me know in the comments if you have cutey fruity stories like this!
Of course, I needed to keep a bunch of bananas on hand so there would always be a loaf or 2 of banana bread ready to go!
