Let’s have some fun drawing yummy chocolate-covered cherries! Get your drawing tools ready, and let’s start this creative adventure together!
First, draw a big circle on the right side of your paper. This will be your first cherry. Then, draw another cherry next to it, but only part of the circle because it’s hiding behind the first cherry.
Time to add some chocolate! Draw a wiggly line above the cherries to show the chocolate dripping down. Make some drips long and some short to look like the chocolate is melting.
Now, draw the stems. Make a curved line from the top of each cherry. Connect the two stems at the top, and add a little curve at the bottom for the center of each cherry. To make the stems look cool, draw a small oval at the top to make them thicker.
Let’s add some leaves! Draw a curve going to the left for one leaf and another curve to the right for the other leaf. Connect the ends to make the leaf shapes.
Now, let’s give our cherries some personality! Draw funny faces on them. For one cherry, make two small circles for eyes and a smile below. For the other cherry, draw upside-down U shapes for lips to give it a cute, kissy face. You can add extra fun details like mustaches or hearts!
Time to color your drawing! Use bright colors for the cherries and chocolate. You can make the chocolate and leaves shiny by leaving some spots uncolored or using a white pencil for highlights.
After coloring, you can go over the outlines with a thicker line to make your drawing pop. This will make your artwork look even better!
Great job! You’ve drawn and colored your chocolate-covered cherries. Remember, the most important thing is to have fun and keep practicing your drawing skills. Enjoy your delicious-looking artwork, and try different designs next time!
Chocolate Drip Experiment: Let’s explore how chocolate melts! With the help of an adult, melt some chocolate in a microwave or on a stove. Dip a spoon into the melted chocolate and let it drip onto a piece of paper. Observe how the chocolate spreads and forms different shapes. Try making long and short drips, just like in your drawing. Discuss with your friends or family how the chocolate behaves and what shapes it makes.
Cherry Observation Walk: Go on a walk with an adult to a nearby park or garden. Look for real cherries or other fruits with stems and leaves. Observe the shapes and colors of the leaves and stems. How do they compare to the ones you drew? Can you find any funny shapes or patterns in nature that you could use in your next drawing?
Create Your Own Fruit Characters: Using the steps from the lesson, draw another fruit, like an apple or a banana, and give it a funny face. Think about what kind of personality your fruit character might have. Is it happy, silly, or sleepy? Share your drawing with your classmates or family and explain why you chose that personality for your fruit.
