A bell pepper has smooth curves and gentle bumps that come together quickly on paper. This short walkthrough covers how to draw a red bell pepper, working from the rounded body up to the little green stem on top.
Drawing a Red Bell Pepper
Just 8 steps carry this one along, which makes it one of the quicker subjects here. Start with the lobed body, shape the dips along the top, then add the stem and a bit of shine. There is not much fuss, so it moves fast.
The Finished Bell Pepper
Smooth curved outlines are handy practice for flowing lines. Once this one is done, the sliced bell pepper shows the same vegetable cut open, and the sweet potato makes another easy start. More produce is gathered on the fruit and vegetable hub.
How the Guide Works: Color Key
Line colors point out exactly what belongs to each step.
- Grey lines show the base sketch from earlier steps
- Red lines show what to draw in the current step
- Black lines are finished details from previous steps
Sketch the body lightly so the lobes stay balanced before committing. When the outline feels right, go over it with a pen, erase the guides, and color with a bright glossy red, leaving a light patch or two for shine.
