How to draw an pineapple with a pencil step-by-step drawing tutorial
For the first step in drawing a pineapple, take a pencil. Let’s begin by using a pencil to sketch the outline of the shape; it will be our only guide for what is to come and would not be seen in the final image.
Newt thing we should do is to outline purposes. The oval you drew in step one is your reference. Be reminded that pineapples are not always perfectly oval-shaped and therefore some lumps or irregularities are acceptable. Ensure you leave a wide space at the top for the leaves which will be added later on. After getting a perfect outline, erase the penciled oval very carefully.
After sketch the leaves. There is a crown of thick, prickly leaves at the top of pineapples. Start off with two on the left side of that space you had reserved earlier. Use curving lines that taper off at the end into a point
