Besides how amazing some of them taste, strawberries are also incredibly pretty to look at and when you use them in an artwork, they can instantly make any piece or drawing look stunning.

One thing I can say is that after following this tutorial, you’ll definitely feel confident enough to draw more strawberries in the future and use them for whatever you wish.

I’m sure you’re excited to get started now so grab your pencil, and let’s begin.

Reference

Like always, let’s study our reference to get a better idea of how we should go about drawing a strawberry.

Strawberry Drawing Reference

What we can take from this reference, is that the shape of the strawberry is more rounded at the top and becomes narrow towards the end.

It’s also slightly more curved in on the right hand side and the leaves on the top go in different directions.

Once we have put together the basic structure of the strawberry, we can then move on to adding details.

Steps For Drawing A Strawberry

Step 1

Step 1

To begin your strawberry drawing, start off by lightly sketching an oval like this. It sort of looks like an egg shape but when we add the next part to this drawing, we’re going to erase the top of this oval.

Step 2

Step 2

Go ahead and draw a curved line coming down on either side of the oval you had just drawn. As you reach the end, join those two lines by drawing another curved shape.

Remove the top of the oval as we had mentioned in the previous step and you should be left with something like this.

Step 3

Now, this drawing is moving quite fast and all that we have to do now is add the leaves of the strawberry. You can do this by drawing a curved shape at the top of the strawberry.

You can go ahead and draw it as we have done here or you can draw it closer to how it is in the reference if you want a more detailed finish.

Step 4

Once you have the two basic leaves down, it’s easier to fill in the rest of the leaves.

You’ll want to continue drawing these curved teardrop shapes and fill in any of the blank spaces with more leaves making some of them more angled at the tips to give the leaves more interest and to show the direction of their leaves.

The last thing you can do to complete this strawberry drawing is to draw the seeds. This can be done by drawing tiny circles all throughout the body of the strawberry.

Final Drawing

And here is the final finish of this strawberry drawing which is colored in with a bright shade of red for the strawberry, two different shades of green for the leaves, and a light shade of yellow for the seeds.

You can follow along and shade your drawing as we have done or you could do so in any way you please.
