Step by Step Cherries Drawing Instructions
Step 1
Draw the first cherry. Start by drawing a circle with a slightly bumpy top. Cherries aren’t perfectly round, so a little wobble at the top is perfect!
Step 2
Add the second cherry. Draw another circle right next to the first one, with the two cherries touching slightly at the side. This creates that classic cherry pair!
Step 3
Draw the stems. From the top of each cherry, draw a line with the two meeting at a point above the cherries, forming a V shape. These are the cherry stems connecting the two cherries together.
Step 4
Add the stem tops. At the top of each cherry where the stem connects, draw a small curved line. This shows where the stem attaches to the fruit.
Step 5
Draw the leaves. From the point where the two stems meet, draw two pinty oval leaf shapes.
Step 6
Add leaf details. Draw a curved line down the middle of each leaf to create the leaf vein. This gives the leaves more dimension and makes them look realistic.
Step 7
Draw the faces. Time to make these cherries cute! Add two circles for eyes and a small curved line for a smile on each cherry. Keep the faces simple and sweet!
Step 8
Color the cherries. Now for the fun part! Color the cherries in red or pink, the stems in brown, and the leaves in green. The kawaii-style cherries are done!
These sweet little cherries make great decorations for summer art projects, fruit-themed activities, or just fun practice for drawing skills!
