How to Draw a Strawberry (Easy Step by Step)
A strawberry is a fun first drawing because it is built from just a few easy shapes: a heart, a little stem, a wavy line, and lots of small seeds. Add a smiley face and your berry turns into a cute character. Once you can draw this one, you can make a whole basket.

Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: The berry shape
Draw a big heart shape with a rounded top and a gentle point at the bottom. Add a tiny dip in the middle of the top.
Step 3: The stem
At the little dip in the top, draw a short stem shaped like a small tube. It is a little wider at the top and closed with a soft curve.
Step 4: The leafy collar
Draw a wavy line of little hills and valleys across the top of the berry. Start at the left side of the heart and end at the right side, to show where the leafy top ends.
Step 5: Face and seeds
Draw two small dots for eyes and a tiny curved smile between them in the middle. Then add small oval seeds: four in a row just under the wavy line, one below the smile, and two near the bottom point.
Step 6: Lower left seed
Draw one more small oval seed on the lower left side of the berry, between the face and the edge. Keep it away from the outline.
Step 7: Lower right seed
Draw a last small oval seed on the lower right side, matching the one on the left. Now your berry is finished!
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a strawberry
- Sketch the heart lightly first. Let the sides curve in smoothly to the bottom point.
- Take your time with the wavy collar. Keep the little hills about the same size so the pattern looks even.
- Draw the seeds as small ovals and keep them away from the outline. If you are unsure, make light dots first to mark where each seed goes.

Strawberry fun fact for kids
The little seeds on a strawberry's skin are not really seeds. Each one is a tiny fruit with a seed inside, and a strawberry has about 200 of them.
Questions about drawing a strawberry
What shapes do I need to draw a strawberry?
You need a heart shape for the berry, a small tube shape for the stem, a wavy line for the leafy top, and small ovals for the seeds.
How do I make my strawberry look cuter?
Give it two round dot eyes and a small curved smile placed close together in the middle. You can also try a rounder, chubbier heart shape.
How do I draw strawberry seeds evenly?
Draw a row of seeds just under the wavy line with the same space between each one. Then add a few more lower down, spread out so they do not crowd the face.
