This drawing combines two of the most popular ice lolly (popsicle) flavours — orange and watermelon — into one cheerful summer artwork. The shapes are simple, the colours are loud, and the result looks brilliant on a fridge.

How to Draw Orange & Watermelon Lollies

  1. Two upright shapes — draw two tall rounded-rectangles next to each other, leaving space for sticks.
  2. Add the wooden sticks — short brown rectangles sticking out the bottom of each lolly.
  3. Orange top detail — a small curved line near the top of one lolly, suggesting an orange-peel curl.
  4. Watermelon rind — on the other lolly, a thick green stripe along the bottom edge.
  5. Seeds — sprinkle small black teardrops across the watermelon section.
  6. Texture lines — a few thin curved lines on the orange lolly for juiciness.
  7. Frost effect — small wavy lines on the sides to suggest the lollies are very cold.
  8. Colour boldly — bright orange, bold pink-red, dark green, and tan-brown sticks.
💡 Parikshet's Tip: Outline both lollies before colouring — the fineliner outline makes the colours pop like a real food illustration.

🌟 Did You Know?

Watermelons are about 92% water, which is why they're so refreshing on a hot day. They also belong to the same family as cucumbers and pumpkins.

How to Draw a Half-Eaten Lolly

  • Replace the top curve with a wavy bite shape
  • Draw the inside of the lolly slightly darker
  • Add a small teeth-mark indent
  • Maybe a drip or two for melting effect
