“Sweet Sketching: Learn How to Draw a Strawberry with Easy Step-by-Step Instructions!”

Step 1: Sketch the Strawberry’s Main Body

You must first find the center of your drawing area before you can begin creating a realistic strawberry. The body of your strawberry will be placed here, serving as a guide for the placement of the other drawing’s components. In the center of your page, draw a horizontally oriented oval shape that is inclined.

Step 2: Add the Strawberry’s Stem

You will now add the stem to your strawberry while continuing to use the oval from your previous stage. Draw a curved, arching line from the right side of the oval up to the top of the shape. The stem will be symbolized by this. Make sure the stem is not too long!

Step 3: Draw the Crown Leaves’ outline

Draw the strawberry’s base now, and then under the stem, add the strawberry’s characteristic leaves. Draw the crown leaves such that they flow outward and follow the right curve of the main oval shape. Don’t add too many leaves because you want to depict a realistic strawberry.

Step 4: Drawing the Flower 

You are now entirely moving past the strawberry and adding a tiny blossom to your strawberry doodle. Add your floral drawing toward the top of the body on the oval’s left curve. Your flower should be basic. You can exclude the flower if you choose because it is only there for cosmetic purposes.

Step 5: Surround the flower with several other plants

You must now draw more foliage around the flower you created in the previous phase, keeping your attention on it. Add some additional leaves around your flower, being careful to design them differently from the crown leaves you have placed in step three. Put these fresh leaves behind the strawberries and flower.

Step 6: Sketch the Strawberry’s Body

The preliminary drawing is now complete, so you can start outlining the strawberry’s body. Outline your strawberry in a more realistic shape by using the construction lines from the oval you made in stage one. Keep in mind that strawberries are noted for having hearts-shaped bodies while you draw the oval.

Step 7: Review the Crown and Stem Lines

You can begin to outline the stem and crown of your oval once it has been drawn out to resemble a realistic strawberry drawing. Outline these two elements as well, using the construction lines established in steps two and three as a reference. Make a thicker stem and more 3D crown leaves as you draw the outline.

Step 8:  Trace around the flower

The straightforward flower that you drew in step four has to be outlined now. Lightly trace the petals of your flower, including the stamen lines, using the construction lines as a guide. It should now appear more realistic than it did before. To give the strawberries a wrapped appearance, try to curl the flower petals that are resting flat on it.

Step 9: Outline the Extra Plants

The extra leaves you drew behind your flower in step five are the last thing you need to outline. Make sure to add some delicate lines and curved edges when you outline the leaves. Keep in mind that these leaves ought to hang on to the strawberry and blossom. After completing this step, you can remove any remaining construction lines that are still visible.

Step 10: Include Texture and Details

You are now prepared to begin adding some textures and details to your strawberry-themed drawing! Start by drawing the curved lines within the leaves, crown leaves, and stem as well as the small lines within the flower petals. Draw a mesh of tiny seeds across the strawberry’s entire body to finish this step. Make an effort to space the seeds equally apart.

The contour of your outlines should be followed by all of your texture and detail lines. This means that, for instance, if your leaf is curved, the inner texture lines should also be curved.

Step 11: Apply the First Coat of Color

You are now prepared to begin coloring! Pick a red paint color using a standard brush. With the brush, evenly paint the strawberry’s entire body, including the little seeds you created in step 10.

We advise choosing a hue that is close to ours if you’re trying to draw a strawberry that looks realistic. 

Step 12: Adding the Second Coat of Color

You can start applying your second layer of color now that the first coat has been added. Fill in each strawberry seed with a small, precise brush and a hue of lime or brilliant green. Yellow will also work if you don’t have these hues. After that, color in the crown leaves, stem, and extra plants behind the bloom with a fine brush and a brilliant green color.

Finally, paint the center of your flower with yellow paint using a small, soft brush. After that has dry, color the flower petals with a regular brush and some white paint.

Step 13:  Strawberry shading

After painting your strawberry, you may begin to add some shade. Create a shadow layer in each seed by delicately painting it there with a small, soft brush and black paint. Apply some shading to the strawberry itself, including the stem, leaves, and crown with the same color of paint. Use a soft brush and some light brown or golden yellow paint to lightly create some blending shading on the inside of the flower.

It should be very lightly shaded so that it seems gray rather than deep black. This stage’s shading should still reveal a few areas of the first and second color coatings.

Step 14: Improve the Highlights and Blending

In the second-to-last step, make the strawberry look more real by blending and highlighting. Mix dark red paint to add a natural layer of shading to the darkest parts. Then, use white paint with a soft brush to highlight the lighter areas, blending for a faded color effect. Use a small brush to blend the seeds. Darken the leaves and stems with dark green or gray paint. Lastly, gently brush flower petal lines with light olive paint. This process takes time and patience, but refining blending and highlights will make your strawberry drawing more realistic.

Step 15: Finishing Your Strawberry Drawing

The last stage is tracing over the entire drawing with a fine, pointed brush. Trace your strawberry sketch using the color that corresponds to each area to produce a final seamless appearance without any outlines. This procedure can be repeated for the texture lines and inner outlines.

One more touch is required after that is finished. Once you’ve created a cast shadow underneath your strawberry with a few gentle brushstrokes of black paint and a small, soft brush, your strawberry sketch is complete.
