A pepper cut open shows off its hollow center and cluster of seeds, which makes for a fun change from the whole shape. This walkthrough covers how to draw a sliced bell pepper, with a lengthwise half beside a round ring.
Drawing a Sliced Bell Pepper
Twelve steps take this one through. Begin with the outer curve of the half, hollow out the inside, then add the ring and the little seeds along the walls. Those inner details near the end are where it starts to look juicy.
The Finished Sliced Pepper
Drawing an open interior is good practice for depth and thickness. For the uncut version first, the whole red bell pepper is a quick warm up, and the halved red onion shares the same cut open idea. Find the rest on the fruit and vegetable hub.
How the Guide Works: Color Key
Each step uses color to separate fresh lines from finished ones.
- 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
Rough in the outer shapes lightly, then give the cut edges a little thickness so they do not look flat. Once it reads well, ink your final lines, erase the pencil, and color with bright red walls against pale flesh and small cream seeds.
