How to Draw a Banana: Step-by-Step for Kids

A banana is a long curved shape with a little stem at one end and a dark tip at the other. Three curved lines are all you need for the body.

What You'll Need

  • Pencil (HB or 2B)
  • Eraser
  • White drawing paper
  • Black marker for the outline
  • Yellow, brown and green pencils
  • Coloured pencils or crayons

Step-by-Step: Drawing a Banana

Step 1: Draw the curve

Draw a long, thin crescent, like a smile turned sideways. This is the outside edge of the banana.

Step 2: Add thickness

Draw a second curved line beside the first one so the two lines meet at both ends. The banana should be fatter in the middle.

Step 3: Draw the stem

At the top end, draw a short, thick rectangle with a flat cut end. It bends slightly, just like the banana.

Step 4: Add the tip

At the bottom end, draw a small dark rounded tip.

Step 5: Draw the ridges

Draw two long curved lines that follow the length of the banana. These show the ridges where the peel folds.

Step 6: Add brown spots

Dot small brown speckles here and there. Real ripe bananas are covered in them.

Step 7: Give it a face (optional)

Add two dots for eyes and a curved smile on the widest part for a happy banana.

Step 8: Outline and erase

Trace with a marker, then erase the guide lines.

Colouring Your Banana

Colour it bright yellow, with a slightly greener stem and a dark brown tip. Use light brown for the speckles and lightly shade along the ridges.

Tips for Drawing a Banana

  • Keep both curves smooth and swooping. If they wobble, the banana looks like a pickle.
  • Draw a small white highlight on the top to make it look shiny.
