How to Draw A Pine Cone Step by Step

Step by Step Guide

The structure of a pine cone might make it seem difficult to draw, but trust me that is not the case. If you take away the rough detailing, the structure is rather simple, and no different than that of any other type of fruit. However, if you are still confused regarding it, you can check out the steps I personally follow to draw pine cones.

To draw a pine cone, I start with the basic outline and do the sharp edges right away. Following up, I take care of the inner detailing with a light pencil and keep repeating the design throughout the drawing.

Start with the outline

Draw an oval with sharp edges.

Do the inner design

Use a light pencil to draw the zigzag patterns.

Now a darker outline

This time use a dark pencil.

Draw another one

Place it lying next to the first one.

Work on the designs

Repeat the designs for the new pinecone.

Keep going

You already know what to do.

Add leaves

Use a light pencil to do the leaves.

Keep the leaves sharp

The edges of the leaves are straight and sharp.

Continue drawing the leaves

This time for the other pinecone.

Almost done

You are doing great so far.

Final touches

Use a dark pencil to do the final outlines.

Coloring time

The drawing is done. Time to color it.
