Bananas are very simple to draw. This article will show you how to draw one. The banana seen in this tutorial has not been peeled.
Steps
Step 1. If you wish, search for a reference image
A good method is to search for images using the term "Banana".
Step 2. With a pencil, sketch a slight curved line
It will be your baseline.
Step 3. Draw a circular shape overlapping the middle of the curved line
The diameter of the circle should represent the thickness you want to give to your banana.
Step 4. Draw a curved line connecting one side of the circle to the end of the baseline
It should be a smooth, curved line in the same direction as the baseline.
Step 5. Repeat step 4 to get a crescent shape
Step 6. Create 1 or 2 small dots in the circle
Look at the image and place them centrally on the two semicircles.
Step 7. Add 1 or 2 more curved lines connecting the ends of the banana
They will have to go through the points drawn in the previous step.
Step 8. At one end of the banana, just before the tip, draw an inverted trapezoid
It should look like the stalk of your fruit.
Step 9. To give it a more conical look, you can choose to add a small oval shape to the top end of the petiole
Step 10. Add a rounded nib to the top end of the petiole
Step 11. Round the opposite end of the fruit with an oval
Step 12. Define the outlines of your drawing with ink or heavier pencil strokes
Step 13. Remove unnecessary guidelines
Step 14. Finished
Advice
- The best thing to do is to use a real banana as a reference.
- If you want to use a pen to draw, try not to move it roughly, otherwise you won't get a definite result.
