Step by Step Green Beans Drawing Instructions
Step 1 – Start with a Curved Bowl Edge
Begin by drawing a wide curved line that dips down in the middle. This will be the top rim of your bowl.
Step 2 – Draw the Bowl Shape
Now connect the sides with a large, rounded “U” shape underneath to create the full bowl.
Step 3 – Finish the Rim
Complete the bowl by closing the curved top line. Now your bowl is ready to be filled!
Step 4 – Add Some Green Beans
Inside the bowl, draw long curved bean shapes. Make them overlap a little and vary the direction to look more natural.
Step 5 – Fill the Bowl to the Top
Add more curved bean shapes until the bowl looks full and bouncy with green bean goodness!
Step 6 – Add a Happy Face
Draw two round eyes and a sweet smile on the front of the bowl. Now your green bean dish is cheerful and ready for Thanksgiving dinner!
