  1. For apples, make...
    For apples, make a circle with curved lines and a stem. Draw a circle with a top and bottom that curves in toward the center. Make sure the top’s curves are softer, as the tops of apples are larger than their bottoms.

  1. Draw a lot of small circles bunched together in a loose diamond shape.
    Drawing a vine of grapes is one of the easiest things to do. First, you draw one circle, then draw another next to it. Then another, and another, and another, until you’ve formed a nice bunch of grapes.[2]
    • If you want your grapes to look a bit more natural, draw a stem with a leaf-shaped heart coming out of the top.

  1. Draw a circle with a point and leaves to make a mango.
    This tasty treat just needs a circle with a pointed side. Start by drawing a circle, but don’t close it. Instead, bring the bottom half slightly outward, then curve it back in toward the top to make a soft, pointed end. Connect the remaining curve, then draw a small cylinder coming from the top of the circle with curved leaves sprouting out of it.[3]

    Cherries are super easy to draw—it takes maybe six or seven strokes at most. First, draw two small circles next to each other.

Repeat this on the other circle and finish the drawing off by connecting the stems in the center between the circles.[4]

Finally, sprinkle a few black ovals in for seeds![6]
    • To make it seem like your watermelon still has skin, draw a curved line about 0.5 in (13 mm) above the bottom of the triangle and color it green.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

PDF download Download Article
  1. Draw a large circle with a bunch of smaller circles inside of it, for chocolate chips.
    With cookies, the hardest part is getting enough chocolate chips onto the page—and you can never have enough! All you have to do is draw a big circle, then fill that circle in with a bunch of smaller black circles that have varying levels of space between them, for your chocolate chips. Then, color the large circle brown to make it look like your drawing’s an actual cookie![9]
    • To alter the perspective of your cookie, draw ovals instead of circles.
    • If you prefer a cookie without chocolate chips, simply draw the large circle and fill it in with a color of your choice.
