How to Draw a Blackberry · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Middle berry and edges
Draw a big circle in the middle of your paper. Then add short curved lines around it, like the first edges of the berries next to it, and a tiny short line floating above for the stem.
Step 2: The top berry
Draw a curve like a rainbow over the top of the middle circle. It starts at the left side, bumps up, and ends at the right side, making the top berry. It touches the little stem line.
Step 3: Upper side berries
Draw a big curve on the upper left that starts at the top berry and bends around and down to the left berry. Do the same on the upper right, making a round, plump bump on each side.
Step 4: Lower side curves
On the left, draw a curve that bends down along the outside of the lower left berry. On the right, draw a small curve like a smile at the bottom of the right berry.
Step 5: Bottom berries
Draw two round smile-shaped curves along the bottom. One goes under the bottom left berry, and one goes under the bottom middle berry. Let them touch where they meet.
Step 6: The stem
Above the top berry, draw a long skinny loop that leans to the right, like a thin bean. Start it at the short stem line and curve it up and around.
Step 7: Two leaves
Draw a pointy leaf on each side of the stem. Each one starts near the stem, sweeps out to a sharp tip, and curves back down toward the berries.
All done!
Go over your lines with a marker, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a blackberry
- Start with the middle circle and draw the others around it. The overlapping circles are the trickiest part, so let them touch and tuck behind each other.
- Do not make every berry the same size. A few smaller circles at the bottom make the cluster look natural.
- Draw the leaves last, so you can tuck them next to the stem without crowding the top berries.

How to color your blackberry drawing

Blackberry fun fact for kids
Each little bump on a blackberry is called a drupelet, and each one is a tiny fruit with its own seed. A single blackberry can have dozens of them.
Questions about drawing a blackberry
What shapes do I need to draw a blackberry?
You need circles for the berries, a long skinny loop for the stem, and two pointy leaf shapes.
How do I make my blackberry look round and juicy?
Let the circles overlap and tuck behind each other, and add a tiny shiny spot on each berry when you color. Slightly different sizes make it look more real.
Is a blackberry the same as a raspberry?
They look alike, but they are different fruits. A blackberry is dark purple and stays solid when picked, while a raspberry is red and comes off hollow.
