Step by Step Candy Corn Drawing Instructions
Step 1 – Start the Left Curve
Begin by drawing a long curved line starting from the bottom left and going upward. It should look like the left side of a tall candy shape.
Step 2 – Complete the Outline
Now draw a mirrored curve on the right side and connect the bottom with a wide “U” shape. This forms a teardrop shape – the body of your candy corn.
Step 3 – Smooth It All Together
Close the shape completely to form a solid outline. Now your candy corn looks like a chubby triangle with rounded edges – so cute already!
Step 4 – Draw the Top Stripe
Inside the shape, draw a curved line near the top to create the first color stripe – this is the white tip of the candy corn.
Step 5 – Add the Second Stripe
Draw another curved line below the first one to make a second color stripe. Now your candy corn has three tasty sections!
Step 6 – Make It Cute!
Give your candy corn a happy face by drawing two dot eyes and a tiny curved smile in the bottom section. Now it’s extra sweet!
