Nothing says summer like a tall, frosty glass of lemonade! In this guide I will show you how to draw easy lemonade step by step — a clear glass full of fizzy drink, floating lemon slices, ice cubes, a bendy straw and a cheerful slice of lemon perched on the rim.

🖍️ What You Need

  • A pencil
  • An eraser
  • White paper
  • A black fine-liner
  • Yellow, light-blue and grey colouring pens

How to Draw Easy Lemonade Step by Step

  1. Draw a tall glass shape — slightly wider at the top than the bottom, like a curved cup.
  2. Draw a wavy line near the top inside the glass to show the level of the lemonade.
  3. Add two or three square ice cubes floating near the top, drawn as cubes with visible corners.
  4. Draw a couple of round lemon slices inside the drink — circles with little segment lines.
  5. Add a bendy straw poking out of the top at an angle.
  6. Hook a half-slice of lemon over the rim of the glass for decoration.
  7. Draw a few small bubbles rising up to show the fizz, and a little puddle under the glass.
  8. Outline in pen, erase the pencil, and colour the lemonade pale yellow, the ice light blue, and the lemon slices bright yellow.
💡 Parikshet's Tip: Leave little white gaps unpainted on the glass and ice cubes — those bright untouched spots act like reflections and make everything look shiny, cold and wet!

Lemonade has been enjoyed for over a thousand years! One of the earliest versions came from medieval Egypt, where people made a sweet lemon drink called 'qatarmizat'. Lemons are also packed with vitamin C.
