How to Draw Raspberries

Raspberries have a natural acorn shape to them.

Drawing fruit, whether capturing it live or from memory, requires an understanding of the physical structure of the fruit itself. Raspberries are naturally acorn-shaped with rippled flesh and vibrant color. A properly drawn raspberry can be used for graphic design projects, logos, cookbooks or just a doodle.

Things You'll Need

• Sketch paper
• Pencil
• Marker

Instructions

1. Draw an acorn shape on the sketch paper using your pencil. Ensure the bottom half of the raspberry is rounded and the top two edges of the acorn-shape are a little more sharp.

2. Fill in the raspberry using the marker by drawing small circles. Have circles overlap each other a little and not be exactly in line with each other. Erase the acorn shape once the entire silhouette has been filled with the raspberry circles.

3. From the top corner of the raspberry draw half tear drop for foliage using the pencil. Draw a slightly smaller half tear drop next to the larger leaf. Retrace the foliage with the marker and erase the pencil lines with the pencil.

4. Fill in the raspberry circles with a red colored pencil, crayon, watercolor or marker. Use dark greens for the foliage leaves of the raspberry.

5. Repeat the process to draw multiple raspberries next to each other.
