Drawing is a super fun way to be creative! Today, we’re going to learn how to draw a cute watermelon. So, grab your drawing tools, and let’s get started!
First, let’s draw a slice of watermelon. On the right side of your paper, make an upside-down “V” shape that goes up and then back down. Then, draw a curved line at the bottom to connect the sides. This will be the base of your watermelon slice.
Now, let’s add the rind, which is the green part of the watermelon. Draw another curved line around the outside of the slice. This will make your watermelon look more real.
Next, we’ll draw the whole watermelon. Since the slice is in front, draw part of a big circle or oval behind it. This is called overlapping, where one shape is in front of another.
Let’s make our watermelon fun by adding funny faces! Draw a silly face on both the slice and the whole watermelon. You can make them as funny as you want. Take your time and be creative!
Now for the best part—coloring! Use markers, crayons, or any colors you like. Take your time to make your watermelon bright and colorful.
To make your watermelon look even cooler, let’s add some texture. Use a dark green color to draw wiggly lines on the top of the watermelon. Start at the top and draw a wiggly line down through the face, stopping at the mouth. Draw another wiggly line next to it, leaving a little space, and color between the lines. Keep adding stripes on both sides of the watermelon. Make your wiggly lines as fun as you like!
Once you’ve added all the stripes, look at your drawing. You can use a white colored pencil to add shiny highlights, but this is optional.
Yay! You’ve drawn and colored a cute watermelon. Remember, there’s no right or wrong way to make art—just have fun! We hope you enjoyed drawing with us. Happy drawing!
Watermelon Observation Walk: Take a walk with your family or friends to a local grocery store or market. Look for real watermelons and observe their colors, shapes, and textures. Can you find a whole watermelon and a sliced one? Notice the different shades of green on the rind and the patterns. Discuss with your family how these real-life observations can help you make your drawings more realistic and fun.
Watermelon Seed Counting Game: Draw several watermelon slices on a piece of paper. Use small black buttons or beads as seeds. Place a different number of seeds on each slice. Count the seeds on each slice and write the number next to it. This activity will help you practice counting and also make your watermelon drawings look more interesting!
Create a Watermelon Story: Imagine your watermelon slice and whole watermelon are characters in a story. What adventures do they go on? Do they meet other fruit friends? Write a short story or draw a comic strip about their adventures. Share your story with your classmates or family. This will help you use your imagination and storytelling skills while having fun with your watermelon drawings.
