How to Draw an Apple Easy
This simple apple drawing can be made following my step-by-step instructions. Drawing guides will show you how to draw a realistic apple from start to finish. All you need to do is follow the easy steps.
- Before we begin, we will be sketching an apple that is larger at the top than the bottom, like a Red Delicious! With that in mind, on the left draw a gently curving line that indents in the middle, comes back up and rounds down at an angle. At the bottom of the right side of the apple, indent up and back down, then round up to form the left side of the apple.
- Add details to the outline in step two by drawing a rectangular shaped stem angled to the right. Then place a line under the stem to show the contour of the top of the apple.
- In step three, add the apple leaf near the top of the stem. Notice each side of the leaf is slightly different from the other. Add a center ridge and 4 sets of veins on the leaf. Finally, add a circle on the left side. This will be left white and represents the light source coming from the left and hitting the apple. Before moving to step four, erase the line that goes through the apple stem.
- To complete this picture, take a black sketch pen and outline everything before adding color. Then pick up your colors and use your shading skills by shading lightly those parts of the apple that are closest and going darker with the parts that are farther away. Don’t forget the leaf and stem, too!
